Well she does have a cousin named Harvey. And it was from him that I learned that Tropical Storm Harvey was headed our way. It seemed ironic at the time. Harvey got stronger and went onto shore a few miles from my Sister in law's beach house. It surely sustained major damage if it is not destroyed.
For 5 days (so far) it has rained at my home in the Houston area My home is at 53' ASL and water has never exceeded 50'ASL in the area. This time it did. On Sunday when water started coming through the doors and walls, My wife and I sought higher ground with a neighbor in a newer home. Water was door ro door and 3 feet deep at the curb. I made several trips bringing supplies from my house to our refuge. My wife got a boat rid across the street. During the day, boats plied our neighborhood.During the night, the water receded revealing the street once again Today (Monday) both the refuge neighbor and I decided to seek alternatives that included electricity. So, for the first time in what seems like ages, I have internet and time for internet. You probably won't see much of me around her for a few weeks as there is considerable demands on my time for the near term. Will need to decide if my home is repairable and probably will need to find temporary lodgings.
I'll be back when I can.
