				<p>It&#8217;s late but I can&#8217;t sleep because I&#8217;m watching  timelines and texts from hundreds of friends affected by Harvey.  We lived in Houston through many hurricanes, storms, and floods but I&#8217;ve never seen anything like this.  I&#8217;m watching friends lose their houses and I&#8217;m also watching friends out rescuing strangers.  It&#8217;s breaking my heart and making my heart whole and then making me want to airlift everyone out of rain and into my house where we can binge watch tv and snuggle small animals.  But I can&#8217;t do that so instead I&#8217;m going to link to a few places that give great resources and ways to help.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.texasmonthly.com/the-daily-post/ways-can-help-people-hurricane-harvey/?utm_source=Twitter&amp;utm_medium=Social&amp;utm_campaign=Web+Social&amp;utm_content=Harvey+Help" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>How to help people affect by Hurricane Harvey.</strong></a></p>
<p>And this one:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.mom2.com/hurricane-harvey-help/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Hurricane Harvey: Here&#8217;s How to Help.</strong></a></p>
<p>And a giant thank you to those who are helping.  To those who donate, who rescue, who care, who sleep at work for days because they are needed, who stay strong for others even when they are breaking.  I&#8217;m sending love.  And donations.  And more love.  If you want to leave suggestions in the comments for organizations that are needing help you can.  (The Red Cross is great and I just gave them another donation tonight but there are also a lot of other organizations that are helpful and stick around after Red Cross is gone.)</p>
<p>Back to funny stuff soon.  Just needed to get this out.</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>It&#8217;s incredibly sad. I read that the three main reasons people don&#8217;t leave is that they are worried about their pets, that they couldn&#8217;t afford to leave, and that they were okay in previous hurricanes. Hope they all get rescued. Praying.</p>
<p><strong>(Also, it can sometimes be very dangerous evacuating so it&#8217;s a difficult decision.  I was once stuck in a car for 5 hours trying to evacuate with 3 cats.  And that five hours was just getting out of Houston.  People started running out of gas on the road and it created road blocks and there were no gas stations with gas so people ended up stuck in their cars during the storm.  In that particular case the evacuation was actually more dangerous than staying, but other times evacuation was totally the right decision.  It&#8217;s always a scary decision no matter what. ~ Jenny)</strong></p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>One of my best friends from school (20+ years) is in Pearland, Texas with her husband and 4 kids (ages 8, 6, 5, 4). I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s any more helpless feeling then seeing her images of the destruction around her and knowing that all I can do from Seattle is watch, pray, donate and worry. She is such a good momma, I know they agonized over whether to evacuate or not. From what I&#8217;ve read, they really were told by city officials that Harvey &#8220;probably wouldn&#8217;t be that bad&#8221; because it was down-grading categories quickly. I know that it&#8217;s going to be days, weeks, months and yes, years, of healing from Harvey. I really wish that this terrible situation had a better name. Who is in charge of naming the hurricanes??</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>Floods and storms seem like no big deal until they happen in a place that you&#8217;ve lived, or are affecting an area where people you love are currently living. It happened like that for me when there were massive floods in Calgary, Alberta (Canada) where I used to live &#8211; seeing pictures on TV of downtown streets underwater shocked me. I&#8217;ve also survived storms in the US, including Hurricane Frederick in 1979 &#8211; trying to reconcile that buildings I KNEW for a fact were on certain corners of streets were no longer there&#8230;they were simply gone, like dust. It&#8217;s absolutely mind blowing.</p>
<p>I have many friends in the States that I&#8217;m praying for, and I&#8217;ve made a donation to the Red Cross and to the Austin Pets Alive organization (<a href="https://www.austinpetsalive.org/hurricane-harvey-evacuations/" rel="nofollow">https://www.austinpetsalive.org/hurricane-harvey-evacuations/</a>) who do an amazing job of rescuing pets in danger of Hurricane Harvey. I wish I could do more. Thank YOU Jenny for your tender heart and loving concern and for the links that you post as well. There are always good charities out there that do a tremendous job helping that can use donations and I hope that your readers and fans will be generous.</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>I was watching the news last night where it first made landfall. The residents that had stayed behind, when told to evacuate, were told to mark their bodies so they could be identified after they died. There was also a man that said if there is a next time, he was going to drag is mother kicking and screaming all the way out of the path of the hurricane or a tropical storm as they barely survived it. Everything, except for the immediate area of the house where they were cowering down in, was destroyed! He never wants to go through that again!</p>
<p>All people in the affected areas have my prayers. I have an uncle and a couple of cousins and their families that live in Louisiana around Lake Charles and Leesville. This storm still has my full attention for the next week!</p>
<p>{<em>hugs</em>}<br />

		<div class="comment-body"><p>There was a FOOT of water measured in this area Sunday.  I&#8217;m in Houston.  We looked at the 100 year floodplain map before we chose/bought our house.  Mama&#8217;s house?  That area still holds the US rainfall in the summer of 1979, 46 inches.  We were there to help my grandmother.</p>
<p>Her house stood on two foot piers, and there was 18 inches of water in the house.  We put the 3 dogs (black lab mixes) up in the treehouse.  Right now their pond has overflowed, and my aunt&#8217;s house down the road has flooded.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m thankful for having power, for no water in the house, and the new roof.</p>

<p>This has after the flood stuff and what to save as you move to higher ground or are required to evacuate.  I would recommend if it&#8217;s not too late, to turn off your power if flood waters are in the house just to avoid potential fires/electrocution issues.  Don&#8217;t go in the attic without an axe or something in case you have to break out to avoid rising water.  Take a sheet and write in big letters how many people are in the home, and the address and HELP or SOS  and nail it to the roof or the highest level so rescue boats and  helicopters can see it.</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>It&#8217;s incredible the way a nation comes together after a disaster. People saw Hurricane Sandy, but that was two categories below what Harvey was when it hit landfall. I was in Maryland when Hurricane Isabell hit. We didn&#8217;t get flooding, but it destroyed a lot of things in our neighborhood and in the neighboring areas (like the Harve De Grace boardwalk I loved so much). I&#8217;m right with you on the wanting to airlift people out. I feel so bad for all of the outside animals who had to endure this.</p>

We have 22 people (including 9 kids), 7 dogs, 1 cat and 1 bearded lizard bunking with us. My husband and I waded in waist-deep water going back and forth to neighbors&#8217; houses to bring them back here, dragging whatever we could carry in garbage bags and coolers. We have people sleeping on cots, air mattresses and the floor. Our friends have lost almost everything they own. And not one single person, from age 1 to 85, has uttered a single word of complaint. They keep thanking us, as if they wouldn&#8217;t have done the same thing if the situation were reversed. I&#8217;m so thankful we have a dry place to offer, and everyone is safe. I&#8217;m so thankful for all the people all around the country who are thinking of us, sending prayers and donations. Thank you, all of you, for doing what you can to help my neighbors.</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>I&#8217;ve been reading that instead of donating actual items it&#8217;s better to send the money to your charity of choice, they can often get a better price on the items needed, and they can buy as needed instead of trying to store a bunch of stuff that may not be used right away.  I mean, obviously do what you can, but sometimes money is the answer.</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>motherofbugsys is absolutely right &#8211; only donate stuff when an organization has an explicit need (i.e. diapers for the diaper bank, etc) otherwise money is the #1 most important thing in an acute disaster situation.<br />
&#8211; Many nonprofits can buy the things they need wholesale and can get more with the money than you can buying things directly<br />
&#8211; Donations of items like used clothes or random food that show up in disaster areas require volunteer manpower to sort and identify whether the donated items can be used at all, those volunteers are needed more urgently elsewhere<br />
&#8211; When nonprofits spend the donated funds on disaster relief, they most often go through local companies/stores/restaurants/service providers/distributors to make these purchases which has a larger impact on helping the economy of the area bounce back faster</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>Red Cross: People have pointed out that one can earmark their donation to be used specifically for Harvey victims. There&#8217;s been some saddening press on the Red Cross mis-allocating funds that appears to be true. Please do your own research.</p>
<p>Another organization of Veterans is one I greatly admire: Team Rubicon. Here&#8217;s their website <a href="https://teamrubiconusa.org" rel="nofollow">https://teamrubiconusa.org</a></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re in SoCal, you may know we&#8217;ve already sent a team of firefighters from our state to go help. Donating to them goes right to on-the-ground Harvey help, too.</p>
<p>Lastly, it&#8217;s another hard truth that people falsely claim to be &#8220;helping&#8221; but are taking money instead. Be vigilant! Use established agencies and caution your church groups or organizations to do the same.</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>Thank you for posting, Jenny. I donated and hopefully it will help a little.<br />
Also, the Houston Food Bank is currently closed but the San Antonio Food Bank is coordinating donations for the area(explained in link you posted), so I donated to them instead since they can likely get the funds allocated faster. Hugs to all affected, please if anyone local knows anything else we can hive mind help with let us know! I will volunteer to personally help get the word out too, although admittedly my reach is not so huge 🙂 I think the main issue is that people give initially, and then forget after the media leaves an area. Recovery will be going on for a very long time-I know I am going to figure out a plan to help with more long-term stuff.</p>

I&#8217;m up in New Jersey, and everyone I know has donated, mostly to the Red Cross.  You know, politicians want to divide us, but we are all one people with shared values.  New Jersey ❤️ Texas!!!<br />

		<div class="comment-body"><p>Thank you to commentator 14 for the Austin Pets Alive! suggestion.  I rescued my cat after flooding in upstate NY in 2011 and we were both so happy to make a donation to an animal shelter rescuing other animals (Seamus was born in a shelter, which flooded, so he had to be moved to a new shelter, so he saw a lot in his first several months of life).  I love that they prioritize animals with medical issues (Seamus has a contagious kitty disorder &#8211; controlled but he cannot be with other cats, but with lots of people. which suits his fluffy, Maine Coon soul just fine). SO, thank you so much for the suggestion and prayers for good deeds to follow from so much bad news.  Mr Rogers said “When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, &#8220;Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.&#8221; To this day, especially in times of &#8220;disaster,&#8221; I remember my mother&#8217;s words and I am always comforted by realizing that there are still so many helpers – so many caring people in this world.”</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>We had a little flooding and a lot of wild critters coming into the house for higher ground. I&#8217;m exhausted from trying to get the water out of the house. Even so, it makes me feel guilty to only have a little flooding when one of my close friends is separated from her children (3, 6, &amp; 10) while they wait in a shelter with their grandparents and she sobs on the other side of the city. It always feels like it only happens to other people. Until it doesn&#8217;t. And, then you&#8217;re just so tired it&#8217;s hard to keep pushing.</p>
<p>Today, I spoke with my mom on the phone and she told me everyone who didn&#8217;t evacuate was stupid and it&#8217;s our own fault. I can&#8217;t even make her understand. Even if there wasn&#8217;t the &#8220;shelter in place&#8221; edict, being a judgmental asshole doesn&#8217;t help anyone. It just causes suffering people more pain. So, if we could all just be kind to one another, especially now, that would jut make this a little more bearable.</p>
<p>(Love my mom; hate judgmental assholeism.)</p>

		<div class="comment-body"><p>Donated to Portlight bc I know how extra hard it is to cope when you have special needs, and to Austin Pets Alive bc when Katrina happened, it broke my heart that people had to leave their pets behind. At the time I had a furry family member with multiple medical issues, and I could not see me ever leaving him behind (he wouldn&#8217;t have gone feral and survived, he&#8217;d have been dead within days without his meds). I still tear up thinking about it.</p>
<p>Half my country is below sea level. I feel for you all so, so very much ❤</p>

A coworker and I sent out an email yesterday about what is most urgently needed (diapers/wipes, new socks/underwear feminine products, hygiene items) and just 18 hours in, we already have $60 towards the goods, plus items coming in from our sales reps and colleagues.</p>
<p>Even if you don&#8217;t have funds but are healthy and can donate blood, summer is always a critical time for blood banks. Each pint that is donated helps 3 people in need.</p>
<p>We can&#8217;t do everything, but everyone can do SOMETHING. Go Team Bloggess!</p>

<p>The inside story of what it took to keep HEB running in the chaos of Hurricane Harvey. I didn&#8217;t understand the significance of  &#8220;chip-cutter&#8221; at the end of this URL until I realized he was the  writer at Linkedin, I saw this story at: <a href="http://www.notallnewsisbad.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.notallnewsisbad.com</a></p>
<p>Reading this story made my cry when I think of what everyone is going through. Hooray for HEB, I had never heard of this grocery store chain until I read this blog. You are all in my thoughts and prayers and I am contributing every time I go in my local grocery stores.</p>

<p>Scanning and uploading photos to a secure server &#8220;cloud&#8221; can be a safe place to store your photos. Pick one where your data remains yours and put a huge password on it, like one of one hundred characters, to discourage hacking. Be well</p>
