Starbucks has donated $250,000 to help the cities in Texas that has been devastated. You can make a donation to Red Cross at any Starbucks. Tomorrow, I will be donating what I can to help the citizens of Texas.

Jess checked in on FB. Said he is doing good and has not been affected by flooding so far.

Thank you for the update, Kim... It is appreciated :bunchflowers: |
I'm still safe, and camping out at home. Blaze returned to the hospital thru the weekend now.
We are in constant communication, texting, pictures and lots of phone calls. This is so devastating to see the first aerial pictures come in this afternoon. |
Hey everybody! Thank you to those of you that reached out and were concerned about my safety, it truly means a lot to me. Apologies for going off grid at a time like this but, being as I'm a First Responder, I deployed with a strike team that was one of the first teams into Houston. Relief teams were able to make it in this morning so my team just returned home today, after several days of fighting for and with all those affected. My heart goes out to each and every person affected by this event. The amount of water and the subsequent devastation is mind boggling. I'm sincerely relieved to see my Houston area BFP family is safe. Here's hoping Mr. Jenny is able to safely return home, soon. Hang in there Houston, we as First Responders (from around the Nation) aren't done with y'all yet; we will continue to be there with and for you throughout the remainder of the rescue and recovery, as well as the clean-up and rebuild. We are Texas strong!

According to the news this morning, the fund is now up to 9 million. I just hope that the money gets to the people that need it.
JJ stated that no administration costs will be taken out and that all will go to relief efforts. What that entails, I have not yet been able to find out. His new goal is 10 million. Quote:

Whoever asked about Jess, he is fine. So thankful the levees are holding up

Pet rescues in Houston

A big YOU WILL GET YOURS! |
I know this is a checking in thread
but.... gotta give kudos to all the folks that gave of themselves to help! Go Cajun Navy! ( yes, I'm a little biased)
The coolest story, so one of the guys from the Cajun Navy were gassing up early in the storm to go to Houston... another guy at store asked where he was going... He replied, Houston... so the guy opened his wallet and emptied it to give towards gas... not only that, but then others at the gas station start giving money, water, beer, whatever they could! Awesome! I know there are so many that helped in so many ways... Just an example of the good! And of course, I had to brag on fellow Louisiana peeps:) |
I am not able to travel to Texas and help out. Today, I donated $25 to the American Red Cross to help the victims of Hurricane Harvey. I know it's not much, but it's what I could give. My heart and thoughts go out to everyone in Coastal Texas.

The news reported today a plane is coming to seattle from texas with a few hundred cats rescued from the flooding and 2 days ago another plane came with over 300 dogs and cats. They are finding folks to foster these animals with the hope of finding the owners.

So now we have Irma to watch. This seems to be a different type of storm than Harvey. Harvey didn't have a clear direction and sat forever dropping record levels of rain. Just horrible.
Irma looks to be a freight train moving full steam ahead. |
Those photos are just awesome! :koolaid:
I thought about that situation if it were me... I get how there are instances when people are damn near fleeing for their lives ... I don't think I could without my pets. TG though I have only little buggers now. Previously I had two 100+ lbs. Corsos and I don't think most would be ... hmm, thrilled(?) ... to have them in their boat. lol :p Quote:
