Place: KC Comments: So glad that people are checking in! I'm not familiar with all of the smaller towns around Houston - it's good to hear from our classmates who are in those areas that they are OK. I have to go home at some point before tomorrow - but I'm hanging out close to the guestbook for as long as I can today! Can hardly wait to get my new phone next week so I don't have to be in the office to keep in touch!
Place: Richardson Comments: Just saw FB post by Randall Sims, they live in Waller, TX. It's a small town NW of Houston. It's a bit north of Katy. The post shows view from his front porch. A lot of land and water everywhere but not too deep, can still see land and his truck parked in driveway. They're good. Wish we could hear from Art & Lyn and Larry Dunn.
Place: Richardson Comments: Just got word from Mary Skwarlo Goins, they are safe & she doesn't think they will have a problem with high water at their place, although they have seen lots of rain, they are good.
Place: KC Comments: Sandy - Adding Don and his mom and the rest of the family to the list!
Place: Richardson Comments: No Carol, I've seen nothing from Larry Dunn or Art & Lyn. If anyone hears from them please let us know. But if you don't have power & your cell is dead and your watching for rising water, not really able to go on FB or make calls! If any one us hear from any of our classamtes please post a quick note hear so all can see. Thanks!!
Place: Richardson Comments: I'm a nervous wreck sitting here dry & safe in Richardson while so many of our classmates, Don's family and Don & his mom are in Houston. When we saw the noon weather report Thursday Don gathered his stuff and left early Friday for his mom's house in Pasadena. Pasadena is a little south and east of Hobby airport in south Houston. His mom is 90 & not too mobile. It's tenuous at best but so far the water hasn't gotten into her house, although last night was way too scary as it got up close to the front & back door! I'm sick to death to learn this morning that Larry & Martha Lewis' (SOC 65) home got about 4 ft of water in it & they were rescued by boat. They were taken to a shelter on high ground. Toni & I talked this morning and we were wonder about so many classmates that live in Conroe and down I 45 south to Galveston and a little east & west of I 45. Glad to hear Jerry & family are safe! This is a unprecedented rain like never before and it will have very ugly effects that will take years to overcome. When this is over and the water clears, we need to see which of our SOC friends need help and what we can do to help them. Keep praying that HARVEY will hurry up & fizzle out so the water can begin to recede.
Place: KC, MO Comments: "Displaced" does not sound good - we SOCites will keep Larry and Martha in our thoughts and prayers, I'm sure. Glad to hear that Jerry and Joyce are OK - and counting on the water staying away from Carl and Shirley. Since I'm not on Facebook - have Arthur and Lyn Gentry checked in there? What about Larry Dunn? I sent Arthur and Lyn an E-mail and left a message for Larry, asking them to let us know if/how they've been affected by the flooding. If they have checked in already via Facebook, will someone please let me know? Love to all - Carol
Place: Melissa TX Comments: Richard, I got it! Jack, thanks for the update on Jerry. I've been concerned for all of the SOCites in the Houston area. Read Sandy's remarks about Larry and Martha Lewis on Facebook. They were not as fortunate but I understand they are safe but now displaced as are many others in the area. Praying for their safety.
Place: Semi dry Sachse Comments: Just spoke with Jerry Tillery. He and all his family are dry and have power. Weather keeps knocking out his sat. TV. He told me there is a creek about 100 yards from his house that is normally about 3 feet deep with a bridge over it, about 8 or 10 feet above it. The creek is now about a foot over the bridge. But the banks are wide and well sloped. He doesn't have any standing water on his street. He's in Fort Bend county, west of Houston, closest city is Rosenberg.
Place: Calif. Comments: Well, at least Sam gets my humor. On another note, I'm getting some pretty nasty pics from friends and family in the Houston area. To think they have 5 days of this before it ends is just bizarre, and the road to recovery is hard to even imagine. I try to find a silver lining in most things, but this one has me at a loss. Hopefully, we won't be getting news of casualties among those we know.
Place: NYC Comments: Thinking of all our classmates and their families in and around Houston today. Things certainly sound bad with all the rain that they have received and continue to receive.
Place: Dallas Comments: Karen, evidently the guy holding the ladder didn't get the no smoking memo. Just heard from Marvin and Shirley Mullins in Houston. The water on their street is now 20 feet from their house. Expecting additional 2 feet of rain before it's all over. Sarah has classmates from Spruce '68 who were in a RV camp in Rockport. They left Thursday and just received word this morning the entire camp was destroyed.
Place: Kerrville Comments: Richard - we do not smoke and we are really not around that many people that do. Most of them got smart and quit many years ago!
Place: KC, MO Comments: Thoughts and prayers are going out for all affected by the hurricane and for all who will be affected by the predicted flooding. If anyone hears of any classmates who might need help, please let the rest of us know. Take care, everyone. Love to all - Carol
Place: Calif. Comments: Karen, it's like I've always said; cigarettes can be harmful to your health. Just sayin'. |
