A few weeks ago, I started at a new shop across the street from my neighborhood. This morning I went to go check on the building; the building is ok but the neighborhood behind it is under at least 10'-15' of water. Coast gaurd and civilians with boats are helping out. Please send prayers to the victims who have lost everything. Thank you.

We are 100% with you , in the modern world we forget how much we are at the mercy of the forces of nature. All I can say is things do get back into some sort of order again.

Horrible :( I feel bad for all the victims and people that have to go through this. Also heard about the explosions in Houston today.

The chemicals involved in the explosions appear similar to fuels used in Nazi Me163 rocket planes, I saw a video on them once really nasty very very dangerous if even they come into contact with even a drop of water or any organic material.

I cannot even imagine how long it is going to take Texas back to anywhere near normal.

Thanks Paul, anyone who can donate to any Harvey relief fund would be appreciated. Just in our area alone will take at least a year before hwy 6 is clear of water and infrastructure inspected. Many many homes and businesses lost, including shops. Both addicts and barker reservoirs have luckily held up and no spillways have broken. All of the smaller town Levy's ruptured; lots of debate into weather or not the homes around the reservoirs will be rebuilt. I'm sorry about the YouTube situation Paul, I haven't been able to watch any updates since then. Thank you all.

Feel gutted for all in Texas but for me the devastation was brought home seeing tech's going into work to find their workshops, boxes and tools completely destroyed by the water.
Would insurance in the USA even cover this? It wouldn't here in UK.
Your whole way of earning a living destroyed, no way to earn, how do you come back from this?
If I was a religious man I would pray for everyone affected, as I'm not I send my heartfelt thoughts and good wishes, hoping that somehow you'll all get through this disaster.
