| rodeomom3 - 2017-08-30 1:36 PM I am literally in tears at the loss of both human life and livestock. Shelters for people are now flooding, horses rescued and sent to dry barns are now flooding. This is beyond what anyone could have perceived .
What part of Houston are you in Rodeomom? You need anything? |

I live in Sealy about 20 miles west of Katy/Houston. We only had 26" of rain, had about 70 acres covered in 2-3' of water but it never got close to the house or barns, we were pretty unscathed by Harvey.

Location: Texas | The Colorado river has reached my parents property. So far it's creeped up to the bottom of the runs of the barn. Our house and barn are built up pretty high but lord I have no idea what to expect anymore...we live miles from the Colorado and when the city was briefed we weren't one of the areas at risk. |

My dad said the water has stopped flowing... they still have several acres of dry land, so I think they may be ok. At least I hope. Sue has her horses there too. And Gaylyn isn't leaving unless they all can leave. |

Not that it matters WHICH river but I think it's the San bernard flooding them not the Colorado. My dad was wrong..go figure...water still rising. House and barn still ok. In the AM when there's daylight we will try to move horses if we have to. I'm going to try and make it down even though I'm not sure how I will make it there. |

| I want to encourage all of you to think about contributing to the SALVATION ARMY. They get more done than anyone and are not out begging for donations. Check with a church near you. Don't forget there are other areas besides Houston. These include Port Arthur and Beaumont. Rockport, Port Aransas, and surrounding areas where the hurricane actually hit have been forgotten about and they are begging for help. South Louisiana is flooded also and many have had to evacuate. East Texas Baptist University took a collection to Houston our high school took up a collection to send with them. What I am saying is to try to find someplace to donate for some of these other areas. |

Location: Oklahoma | this is so heartbreaking!!!! I live in a flood zone and I sometimes get flooded but at least the water moves out within a couple of hours once it stops raining! What is gonna be even worse than what they are going thru is the cleanup! and the damage is unbelievable. my trailer house we had it got 4 inches high in it and the mud is not the mud you see after a normal rain! there is just no cleaning it and the appliances and furniture and personal items there no saving them! the after math is gonna be crazy. And the people who have been out of work because of this or already living on a shoestring is gonna be so hard on them! But that water needs to move out so they can get started to rebuild and they will but it will be such a hard road!!! prayers and prayers!!!!!! |

The Guadalupe river is doing really nasty things in Gonzales and Cuero and on down the river, not looking good for these fokes in these little towns. The Guadalupe runs right threw downtown here in Seguin and they did evaluate all the homes along the river here in town, they were worried it was going to be another flood of 1998, but we dodged the bullet on Harvey this time. All the rain that is casuing problems was down river. |

Lots of supplys have been coming threw here heading up to all the towns that were flooded and people here in Seguin have been donating like crazy, waiting to hear if more clothes and whatever else is needed is going to be heading out again so we can get more packed up. and also wating to hear back from Dave and Gail.. But your right donate donate donate every little bit will count.. |

| In Corpus, our Half Price Book store is asking for book donations for all of the people in shelters in Houston and the surrounding areas. You might check with any bookstores in your area to see if they are doing this too. I can't imagine being in a shelter with nothing to read or do. |
