Thank you guys.

They released reservoirs into Buffalo bayou today. The rain doesn't stop. My husband keeps sending me videos and seemingly the water keeps rising. This could go for days. Some of our neighbors evacuated on boats.

This is so sudden( stay safe, Gary!

Hi all -- a quick update.  It's now Monday evening about 7 pm here in Houston, and there is the incredible dichotomy between severe depression and extreme optimism.  

Depression, because the damage is just unfathomable.  Pictures and videos on your computers and television can't begin to describe the horrors. What you see is just a fraction of the unmeasurable damage.  Not an inch of the fourth largest city in America has been spared. And that's just Houston.  The catastrophe spreads in every direction of Houston by as much as 100 miles, except to the east, and that is now feeling Harvey's wrath.  Billions and billions and billions of dollars in damage and easily over 100,000 in displaced residents. Just heartbreaking to live through and I don't ever want to do it again.

But, extreme optimism, because of the spirit of not just Houstonians, but people from other cities responding with help of boats, tractors, semi-trailers, large military trucks.  A mile-long line of residents with boats from Louisiana (the "Cajun Navy") coming in to help anyone in need. Residents going through their neighborhoods just making sure their neighbors were safe and offering to shelter those that needed help.  People opening homes to those they don't even know on the other side of the city impacted.  

When I saw all the boats coming in to the city, I couldn't help but think we had our own personal Dunkirk.  Perhaps there will be those who want to make a movie about it in the future, but they'll never be able to convey the madness of what we've experienced here.

As for me, I'm okay. Some water in the home is nothing compared to what others have experience.  I'm safe and I'm dry and I have food and electricity and I don't smell so awful.  So I'm thankful, and I appreciate the kind words and your thinking of all of us down here.

I'm fine - I don't need anything, but there are so many more that do.  If you want to know what you can do to help those down here, you can donate to the American Red Cross -- the best damn disaster response team in the world.  You can text HARVEY to 90999 to make a $10 donation for those in need.

Peace and love from Houston,
Gary
