Stressful day but we finally saw the SUNSHINE
. Our county's major roads reopened and our small community was able to send help to the Houston area. Son-in-law and his brother (along with many fellow residents) left with their boat to assist with water rescues in the Katy area. He called this the "I-10 BOAT RAMP @ Dairy-Ashford".
You can see the flood waters off the freeway on the left.
Continued with an urgent message from our sister Lutheran Church's, serving as shelters, for food. Heart filled with love
when I arrived to be greeted by ALL our neighborhood children, including DGD, assisting with the unloading of the donations. Another call for more donations after lunch sent DD and DH on a delivery mission. Just one of the many scenes they encountered on their "adventure"...which turned into more of an adventure than they'd hoped when they had difficulty finding a ramp to get back ON I-10 for their trip back home.
This is the flooded land area by I-10, not a river or lake.
Harvey has officially broken the record for rainfall from a tropical storm at 51 inches and is set to make it's
third Texas landfall and on into Louisiana with heavy rains expected there also.
