NN and all others”
I just want to thank you all for the prayers and well wishes and offers. We returned Sunday and have been really busy cleaning. Just got power on today at our friends house so this is WONDERFUL...
It was a ride. We left and came back to 3 feet of water and the mess that comes with it. It is going to be a long process and it will get depressing I am sure. However, we have a home to rebuild, (so many don’t) and we are all safe and sound all 7 of us. So God is good.
I have been amazed by all the help that has been out and around our area. Lots of water and ice and food. It is all from volunteers (and I include the National Guard in that).

I’m glad y’all are safe and so sorry about your damage. Hang in there, so many in the Houston area have been through the same thing many times and made it okay. I know you will too.
Yay! Glad you are ok. I’m just right up the road so let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
Wonderful .. thank God.
Stay safe.
Very relieved to hear you are safe. Hang in there with the cleanup. Thank goodness for good neighbors! {{{hugs}}}
“I include the National Guard in that [volunteers].”
I hope Texas has not been having the problem that occurred in Katrina that a lot of the National Guard was busy with Iraq and couldn’t help out then.
I think we actually need two types of Guard. The National Guard with the current obligations and benefits and a Home Guard with lesser benefits that can only be used for emergencies in the 50 states and territories. I think there would be additional volunteers for a Home Guard, knowing they could not be sent out of country.
