My neighborhood flooded and I helped an old lady to a Blackhawk helicopter, as the intervening culvert was flooded and she was short.

That was the extent of my heroics.

They landed at 3511 Linkwood Dr, Houston, TX 77025. The entire area but my street flooded.

I saw an abandoned fire truck.

This man represents all that is reviled and hated by the liberal media, the antifa youths, the one-world globalists, the LGBTIQCAPGNGFNBA cultists, etc, etc, etc. They hate us. And that makes them in the wrong, not us. So don't compromise with them -- not ever.

God Bless Texas.
Our church will collect for Samaritans Purse again this Sunday.

The impression that Texas is putting on the rest of the nation is...well, it’s very impressive and sets an example of American endurance.

Yeah, it is just about doing what has to be done but, just seeing something that binds the nation together is comforting to the rest of us who are able to just tune in or out of the disaster at will.

Texas leads.

I am thankful God put me in Texas. People are good here.

If anyone can spare a prayer, Saint Thomas Episcopal School was fully inundated. It is my child’s school.

My wife communicates with people. I don’t. She informs me just now that I will be spending this weekend helping oldsters from St. Thomas in mucking out their damaged homes.

It breaks my heart. The people waiting for the helicopters in my neighborhood were seriously messed up and traumatized. One lady couldn’t even talk.

Prayers up. And God Bless you for helping out!

“The people waiting for the helicopters in my neighborhood were seriously messed up and traumatized. One lady couldn’t even talk.”

No kidding. Next to a fire loss, losing out to a flood is the most terrible property loss to suffer through.

Raise your hand if you saw a picture or video of just one pajama boy looking person helping anyone. Just one. Nope, didn’t think so.

It’s annoying watching camera crews on the helicopters taking up valuable space that should be used for victims.

I’ve been googling, ‘Clinton’s donate to Harvey relief effort’ and ‘0bama’s donate to Harvey relief effort’ for days now.

Still no hits...

It’s so wonderful that America survives despite the best efforts of the Democrat Communist Party! :)

We are grateful to you for showing America what it is to BE American.

That is no small thing. As you dig through the mud and comfort the sorrowful, please remember that.

God go with you and the people of St. Thomas.

Where’s Antifa during all this? One would expect them to be down there punching people like that in the face.

(Not that it would work out good for them)

A haiku:

Thanks, T-Bone Texan!
A hero in your own way.
You are a good man.

Significant emotional events are usually required to change ones thinking. Sometimes that wont even do it.

Good one! You’re one of the “half-full” types aren’t you.
