Being in Telecom and Electric Utilities all my career I have been to a number of natural disaster recoveries. Up to now Hurricane Katrina in NOLA was the biggest and worse mess I have seen. Well Katrina was minor street flooding compared to what is happening in Houston. Been on the outskirts of Houston for 3 days now and just now able to go in and get started. That is if you can find gasoline. Gas shortages are so bad, Dallas, Ft Worth and all the way up to the Red River are running out.
It is quite over whelming with no end in site. I could be here for weeks, and I do not know if that is long enough. Massive power outages, very limited phone service, no gasoline, food, fresh water, toilet paper, nothing. Even though we are not suppose to carry weapons, many utility workers and relief workers are forced to carry weapons. If anyone sees a utility truck or service vehicle of any kind is in danger. People know you have gas, food, money, water, and toilet paper. We have to ride with a partner. One to guard the the truck and the other do the work.
It is Hell on earth folks on the Gulf TX coast. Never been fearful for my life in a storm area. I have not been this concerned since I was in Desert Storm back in 1991. Complete chaos and havoc.
Please do your part to help these people. It is not about me or what you think of me. It is for people in need of help. You do not have to come, donate and give all the spare change and blood you can. Donate whatever you can to your favorite charity. Or just use your cell phone and Text HARVEY2017 to 91999 for a $10 donation.
Here is a link to Red Cross for direct donations. Do something please. Give blood and/or donate money.
God Bless
