How terrifying.

The distress and trauma will last a long time

Yes, pray for them....and that the rain will stop ASAP.

I just watched a report on Dickinson, Texas.  The pictures are heart breaking.  That must be the most frightening experience, and it seems they are expecting even higher flood waters.  We have friends who live in a town very close to Dickinson.  They said this morning that they are still high and dry.  The reports on TV make it look awful. The flood waters rise so quickly. Prayers are needed from everyone.

Have seen pictures of people that are standing on top of their roofs and in nursing homes, our prayers are with you.

I definitely agree. My prayers go out to all of them. I saw on the tv this morning a lady that lost everything. I am so grateful for the things I have. They may not be fancy or new, but I am grateful for all that I have.

It's a scary thought to hear that FEMA could be there for YEARS assisting.  People using axes to hack through their attics just to get out!  Small cities and towns will be wiped off the map when this is over. :(

I have been praying for them for days. My uncle and aunt are down there and they're in their seventies. They told me that they had already relocated to a campground 100 miles west of Rockport, so they're safe.

They also heard it through the grapevine that they've lost some shingles on their home and their fence blew away, but they're grateful that all is replaceable. However, they have no idea when their electricity will be available again.

The real drama of it is that they lost their oldest son this year, so I don't know how much grief they can bear.  :( If nothing else, this helps us know how fortunate we are when we are not in a situation like this as it's happening.
