Are there RallyPoint members near Houston that need shelter or support?

Knowing there are around 30k displaced residents in the Houston area, I wanted to see if anyone in the RP community needs help.

Great post and offer ...well done.
My little part of central Texas only got the tails of Harvey,,,we have been and will be hit again but much worse storms the nation will never hear of .
Of course human suffering is paramount to avoid and assist with in recover..
BUT PLEASE do not forget about the animals, those family companions that were not allowed to be evacuated, those thousands of Huston residents that were told you can not take your animals with you.
It will be, my last day on earth when Im faced with that choice...as I would never leave.
Luckily, for me and my family, we will never face that choice, we would stay and survive, or evacuate WITH our pups and survive. But I know there are many thousands that did not have that choice

Great post Sir! We are here in Houston as well. Unfortunately we are unable to get out right now to offer any help as we are surrounded by flooded main roads. Especially since the opened up the 2 reservoirs.

It's good to know that there a great people like yourself and others that are reaching out to help those that are in desperate need of help. Just use precautionary measures though sir. The Louisiana Navy Men have been shot at while trying to help evacuate people.

The rain has slowed down some but it hasn't let up and it's not clearing out completely until tomorrow from my understanding. Then Houston and the rest of Texas can start the massive clean up and rebuild.

Stay safe out there Sir. God bless and God speed.
