Uhm, I don't know how to put into words the last 96 hours. My house was flooded and ruined. My family? I got safely to her parents in Austin. The last days were spent using heavy equipment to rescue folks. Thank god for the Cajun Navy, the real heroes. My heart goes out to all Texans who came together and made the worst natural disaster ever a success. The loss of life, the rescues, everything. You can't Imagine. You can't believe. I was there, with my crew, rescuing folks, and cannot believe. The break in the rain is not the end. Don't get complacent. We saved lives, yes, and we are forever linked by this struggle. The real problems just begin....

My family is safe with her parents. I myself, am safe sleeping with a colleagues family. My volunteers from work are back with their families. most of us are now safe, but we cannot find food and supplies. Everyone knows somebody, yada yada yada. The most important thing you can take away from this. You can only rely on yourself and your neighbors. No longer is that just a feeling, its a reality. If you want to see the real news watch abc13, fox26, or khou. The local news are showing whats going on.

It's early in the disaster. Most of you are asking what can you do? Not much unfortunately. Check this link and donate cash to local shelters. Check into the real heroes and donate to them. Many of these men I worked with in the dark of night to pull people from the water. Unless you have a helicopter and can airlift in supplies, donate cash to these local people.

As for me, I am headed off to sleep the sleep of a thousand sleeps. My family is safe. I am staying with colleagues, my crews went home to their families.

Texans helping Texans. That's where the real work is done.
