Rain is finally slowing down too.
... ... If theres anything I can do to help, please let me know... ...
... ...On a positive note, so many friends, relatives, acquaintances and strangers have asked after my families welfare and offered to help if they could.... ...
This is the most amazing!Went to our local church today to donate... ...and ran into a line of cars 50 deep out to the street making donations and about a hundred volunteers staging them inside the church to bring to the various relief centers around town... ...
Following my previous post I do apologize that I did not include Chuah mentioning Richard Lu and neighbor collecting and distributing donations.This is the most amazing!... ... ...
Of course there are a lot more similar ones to those mentioned in this thread, thanks God!Houston Bonsai Society member Richard Lu and his neighbor collected donations and brought them to the George R Brown shelter center... ...
... ...Saw a guy fishing by the bridge while most of Houston suffers!
....and I've come to the conclusion that this is the way our minds should think.... ...Perhaps the guy was catching fish for the needy... ...
So glad the storm has ended in Houston.
It's not over for SE Texas and Western Louisiana. I pray it has mercy on places like Orange, Vidor, Beaumont and others. That region's back was broken by Hurricane Rita.
Reports this morning said Port Arthur picked up 26 inches of rain on Tuesday...bringing the four day total there since Harvey showed up to 43 inches...Hope my people in Orange, Tex. are OK. Seven inches of rain in the last 18 hours, more on the way. Report this morning Orange was getting 2-3 inches per hour. 45 mph wind with 60 Mph gusts...Hope this forecast wasn't accurate.
God Bless Texas...

For the sake of Houston and the Gulf Coast, I hope that bitch goes South or directly west. Not that Mexico needs the misery, but Texas doesn't need any more.I'ma gonna just say no to Irma.

u good down there Markey Scott? lose any bonsai? I saw a photo of memorial park the other day.. godamn.. my family friends own the DTAR hospital in Victoria and did not evacuate themselves or main emergency staff.. I have a bunch of friends on my facebook in houston.. shit is wild. hope your family and property are all safe and sound.
Another one coming? Not sure if we will stay this time.
I was weeding my potted plants and thinking about this. What if we have to leave for a week due to Irma, I really not sure what to do to all these little kids in pot. Do you have a plant? Does anyone have a plant for something like this? Plant on the ground could be flooded. Stay on the bench can get dry out if the forecast is off. Sigh....Still a good two weeks out and it could go anywhere, including staying out in the atlantic. Keep an eye on it though - Tuesday it is projected to be very close to where they started tracking Harvey 10 days before it made landfall.
