Agreed. 30-36 inches of rain....kinda Noahaesque. God Bless them and keep them safe.

Prayers for safety for all in the path sent.

Does anyone know whether Nate Kiowa Jones(Steve) is in the path in any way? Are any of our members in the path?

Yep, I'm good. After spending 5 weeks in my RV setting in my driveway running it on a generator after the Rita storm of 05 we left Port Arthur SE Texas in 2013. We are now just south of Lampasas in the Hill Country. Went from 14 ft elevation to 1490 ft. Wife is much happier. :)

Prayers up for sure. The pictures I've seen look awful. I have a teleconference first thing tomorrow to find out how bad the damage is to our operations. It won't be pretty.

I spent 12 days straight on duty, 7 sleeping on a cot, 4 of that with no power or water. Didnt go home for 8 days straight. Have power n water now, and easily $20,000 in damages.

Friend in Houston had his house under 45 inches of water, including a Jeep, 2 trucks, 2 motorcycles and $7000 in guns including NFA items all went swimming....

We are good now, just waiting for the insurance people to decide how bad they want to stick it to us.

Glad you are safe. It sounds as it will be a long time before things are back to normal.
