twiceblessed....nacole 433 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yes, definitely praying...it was a wicked storm ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fotofx....Steve 34 Posted August 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 And for most in the area it is far from over. The flooding after the storm is causing more damage, injuries, and deaths then the wind. Some areas may get several more FEET of water before it is over. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 I've been in touch with Jean Ann (Okie at Heart) several times during the weekend, and she and Kenny are safe. They had 24" of rain in 4 hours last night. She said people in her subdivision had to be rescued and many of their friends' homes flooded, but the water only got 2/3 of the way up their driveway. I told her the Lord had a giant hand of protection over them and their house! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted August 27, 2017 Report Share Posted August 27, 2017 So far so good, tons of rain, creek behind our house went from dry to out of its banks but we're still good for now. But half of our town is supposed to go under water tomorrow due to the river flooding. I am just happy we still have power. Half of our area does not due to trees down.

LONE-STAR 370 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Well things are looking better for us the creek behind our house is going down although still over the road, and the river while still flooding part of the town won't affect us. But fuel and food is in short supply. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
h2odivers...Ray 952 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I've got an extra case of MREs I'm willing to ship down to y'all. If USPS, UPS, and/or FedEx is making deliveries. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Was getting really worried about Jean Ann and Kenny. I messaged her last night, and she usually replies within 10 minutes or so. This time it was about 18 hours. But anyway, here's her reply. She gave me permission to post it here."We made it, Gwen! We made it!!! The storm is finally over. The sun is shining this morning, there is a gentle breeze, and all is well with the world. Well, sorta. People are still flooding here due to the release of water on two major reservoirs, and we still have some highways and feeder roads under water. At 2 am this morning a local weatherman said that my neighborhood had received 50 inches of rain since Friday. If that turns out to be true, I think I've been touched by a miracle! God is so good! Thanks so much for your concern throughout this ordeal. And tell Ray the Oklahoma brigade that came down to rescue the victims of home flooding made me so proud of my home state! Again, Gwen and David, your concern for me made this storm much easier to endure!" Tri-Circle-D 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tri-Circle-D 2,059 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Thanks for posting the update, Gwen. It's going to take a long time for things to get back to normal for a lot of folks in Texas. Prayers are great, but we should all help out where we can. TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cortezcapt (Derek) 156 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 I know at least one of our local churches is collecting clothing, non perishables, pet and baby supplies, I guess really anything that they can and will be delivering to churches in the effected areas.

Our church here in NC is partnering with a Texas church. An 18-wheeler left here this morning filled with food items. They asked for single-serving food items, food with pop tops, bottled water, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mamiller 4 Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just posted in another thread... hoping you are ok Lone Star. It looks bad in Beaumont. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LONE-STAR 370 Posted August 31, 2017 Report Share Posted August 31, 2017 We are still okay the river has flooded most of the town, so no supply trucks can get into us right now. They are saying the river is holding steady at its current height and should start going down on Monday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
