My husbands cousin lives in The Woodlands and so far the neighbourhood area is flooded but it has not hit their house. They managed to get lucky the last flood as well.
We are keeping everyone in our prayers and keeping an eye on the situation. I am not sure why but it seems to always affect the poorer communities the worst. Or maybe the media just slants it that way.
Have you been affected at all?Comment

It was so hard to watch and hard to take in how awful it was. Just tragic and devastating. Will be donating.Comment

Harvey truly has been a nightmare! I live in Austin and we just got the outer bands of this storm, we had just over 8 inches of rain at home in about a 24 hour period. We are wet but OK. Then you start heading just east of here and it just goes to sh&#! So much flooding and devastation.
My daughter just moved to Houston at the end of May and that has been the hardest part! Her brand new restaurant is under water. She is stuck in her townhouse and hopefully continues to stay mostly flood free, she lives very near down town. She has been very lucky in that regard so far. But it is still raining buckets so her place will very likely flood soon because there is water EVERYWHERE and it just keeps raining. I wish she was here instead.
One of the island towns (Port Aranasas) is one of my favorite places on earth and it took an almost direct hit. It has been destroyed, so hard to see all those familiar, fun, bright, happy buildings torn apart and tossed around. We have plans to go there the 3rd week of Sept for our annual anniversary trip. I hope we can still go just to spend some money and help support some of these folks, fingers crossed.
I can't seem to stop watching the weather channel and that just makes me sad. I get a pit in my stomach whenever my phone goes off. I am just so sad for all those people. I have many friends and family that have been affected by this storm and it is going to take a long time to fix. So yes, please pray for Texas!Comment

It is horrible. I have a close friend that lives down there. She is still trapped in her condo. Lucky for her she lives on the third floor so she did not get flooded out. I have donated to the red cross. If anyone knows of other organizations that are helping out Texas let me know.

I am safe and dry for now. My heart breaks for everyone. I'm gust washing sheets to donate, if I can even get them to a shelter. So many people are out helping others. It's great to see all the love.Comment

Are you close to the center of it all?
I wish I had a connection down there...I'd love to gather up supplies and stuff and send them to those in need!
I can't imagine all the children scared and unsure of what will happen next. They look up to their parents and caregivers to make them feel safe and I am sure there are so many parents and caregivers trying hard to hide their own fear of uncertainty....
I imagine basics are needed...formula, baby foods, blankets, diapers and dry clothing etc.
I feel so helpless when something like this happens and there is only so much you can do but so much you want to do.Comment

Medically complex and fragile children are exceptionally vulnerable during a natural disaster. This is a group that collects supplies and funds to support children in danger.
