I would have liked to have done that, but they have CC so restricted right now b/c of POTUS fly-in I don't think I can get a clearance anywhere near there. Should clear soon. or maybe not. We are setting up to assist with transit aircraft, vehicles and provisions. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete H Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Just heard 24" in 24 hrs. in Beaumont. Sent Carl a text to check on him and the family. This is just insane. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT FAN Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I just made a small donation to the American Red Cross for victims of Harvey. Best wishes to all Texans and those here from the Klipsch forums who have been effected by this epic storm. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 I'm sure people still in their houses are starting to run out of food and medicine. If there is no electric then people who can't operate their Cpap machine run the real risk of death while sleeping. I'm afraid that in addition to the drowning deaths that when all is said and done there is going to be a higher death toll due to the hurricane than anyone ever imagined. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 The electricity at my son's house is out. There's a straight 4 lane road between us that were both just a few blocks from. I can't get to him. It's normally less than a 10 minute drive. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T2K Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 It just started raining at my house. First rain in a couple of weeks. I wish all of you there in TX the best of luck. Keith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea why as we're in a flood plane and flood insurance is mandatory. The generator is on standby but we're still on utility power. My son who's 10 minutes away is off the grid. He can't get to me either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The History Kid Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 My brother left for Beaumont with a truck and boat full of water at about midnight. I reckon he will be there around 1600. He is planning on bringing back some dogs too from what I hear. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Some of our clients, who are safely out of harm's way, have the temerity to complain about shipping delays caused by Harvey. I just want to shake them and scream, "You're complaining about the inconvenience of a delay receiving stuff, while people are losing lives and homes." 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps your clients have not heard of all the death and destruction in Texas, impassable roads, the airports being closed to outgoing traffic, the entire shutdown of the Houston area. It was in all the papers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
