Need everyone to send good thoughts our way down here in Houston. Surrounded by water all over the city due to Harvey and expected up to two more feet of rain through Tuesday. Tornadoes all over the city. Can't evacuate because we can't get out. Pretty grim here.
Hope I'm around long enough to see how I did in the Quickie!
Peace and love, Gary |

Stay safe. I hope you've got plenty of supplies and your power supply is secure. Good luck. |

My husband is in Houston right now. He went there for a week and bam - Harvey came. We have a house there and he actually had to take care of the roof, it requred some mending. Yeah, like perfect time for it, the best actually. He didn't buy enough water so I told him to fill in the tub on the 2nd floor at least and drink from it if the supplies come to an end. Then the ceiling of the first floor right underneath the tub started leaking and he got rid of the tub water. He's got the power and everything though - at least says so. Where in Houston are you, Gary? We leave right at the bayou, Gessner and Memorial. |

Hey Gary, stay safe. Hurricanes are not to mess with. People think of them as wind events, but it's the water that cause the most damage and destruction.
Hope you and yours get through this unharmed.
Your husband and house too, Khamanna.

Thanks everyone -- Kham, that is the definition of a small world. I'm literally less than a mile from you in Briar Grove Park. We're a block off Buffalo Bayou. The bayou is now out of its banks and houses at the entrance to our subdivision have a foot of water in their house. We're okay so far (SO FAR!!) but it's looking pretty desperate for us all in our neighborhood. But whenever you're here in Houston, let me know and we can meet! Assuming I'm still here, of course!

Thanks, Pia.
Things are not getting better in Houston, today they asked the residents in our neighborhood not to flush toilets. And advise to not use cars either as the streets are flooded. That's what I read inthe neighborhood letter. Anyway, good luck Gary, hang in there. And stay safe. |

I've been watching on the news. HOLY COW!!!! I know five people in the area including Gary and Khammana, even though she's not there at the moment. Some seriously unbelievable pictures. The most heart wrenching being the people in the nursing home sitting in wheelchairs with water up to their waists. Stay safe all of you. |

Hawkeye's situation (As of 12:58 pm edt)
We're safe at this time although completely surrounded by water. Hoping for a lull in the rain so we can get some recession in the water. ...we're prepping to move to higher ground if things get worse, but for now, ok! |
