Since so many major media are covering this historic event we have not been posting a lot of news stories. We are posting links to obtain help. It has been hard to even comment because the situation has been changing so quickly. At one point it was advisable to evacuate and then later in the same afternoon it was better to shelter in place.
At this point it seems that this situation will probably equal the devastation of Katrina. I have lived through hurricanes but not massive flooding. In general, homes and buildings that have been flooded are not habitable. In a few days the rotting houses will become a hazard to everyone's health. So even if you are comfortable on your 2nd floor now, you will need to find a sanitary place to live until your home is repaired. Please view the links above that Pathfinder and I have posted.
We wish everyone affected by Harvey and the flooding all the very best and please be safe. It will be a long recovery.
