Final Update: Still raining, but the Houston area will be clear of the danger of further flooding later today, and the water levels have fallen off somewhat here, so thanks to everyone for the prayers and good wishes. 
Now the cleanup starts. It will be a couple more days before it drains enough for people to start back to work, and the roads will have to be cleared. All services (mail/airports/gasoline) will be down for a while as well.
But Dallas is setting up 6000 beds to house some of the refugees whose homes were destroyed, and they are flying them in via military transports this morning. Other local areas not hit as hard by the rain bands are full up as well, and as soon as the water recedes enough to make it through, we’ll be trying to get to some of those with blankets/food/clothing and whatever else they say they need now. (We’ve seen this before but never on a scale like this. It was an 800 year flood, with 50 inches of rain in some areas. No one was expecting that, and just about everyone has been impacted in some way.)
Special thanks to the Cajun Navy, who came in a day or two ago and have spent the last two days going in and out to the neighborhoods and pulling people out. Also the National Guard, and the volunteers from other states who came in with flat bottom boats and helicopters…they have literally rescued thousands of people over the last couple of days. Wonderful, wonderful people.
Whew! Rather not do this again for a while.
…squirrel!
RIP little squirrel. Glad you are ok.
