I just returned from more than a week of rescuing folk trapped by high water. Most are too young to remember the flooding brought by hurricane Carla, the last one that inundated Houston. They were told to hunker down and stay put. Most did. Alas, by the time that they realized that it was time to leave, there was no easy way out except to walk (or swim). And there are at least twice as many folks down there as when Carla came thru. Its spread out and has houses in lotsa places that there should be none. You would be totally amazed at the number of good folks that have showed up to lend a helping hand.

Anybody wanna buy a good used truck...only submerged once. Gonna be a bunch of them on the market in just a few weeks.

Glen a BIG SALUTE to you for your efforts!

Worked a flat bottom metal boat in Houston. It was and still is a big mess!

Left the flat bottom with a friend down there to continue but gas is getting in short supply. Headed north 100 miles to refuel and pick up an airboat. Used that to rescue my son from Beaumont. Felt very strange to go tearing up and down a 4 lane highway in an air boat. Even spent some time with it cutting fences and herding cows to higher ground. If Trevor landed in the vicinity of his family when he moved back, they got some flooding. But it was nothing like it was 30 miles farther south. They are near a major river which is out of banks and flooding for over 100 miles inland. I would have gone to look but I did not know where.

On an economic note, fuel prices are gonna skyrocket along with the price of plastics because of all the curtailed refinery production due to that hurricane.

Fuel here in Misery has already jumped up and I think it'll keep going!
