Houston got a year's worth of rain in 3-4 days a week or 2 back thanks to Hurricane Harvey, and parts of the city are still under water. <br /><br />We were astoundingly fortunate. Water never got into our house or our vehicles, unlike thousands of our neighbors. Homes just a few blocks from us had 4-5 feet of water in them. We couldn't go more than half a mile from our house before the water was too deep for safety. Good friends have lost everything they owned with 5-7 feet of water in their homes and their vehicles submerged.<br /><br />Our problems were minor. Our dogs were going stir-crazy because classes and dog events were cancelled. A local comic con I had planned to attend was cancelled because the building is being used as a shelter. We're having to shuffle responsibilities at our training club because some very active members lost everything, and they don't currently have the time or energy to deal with dog club stuff. I think I have survivors guilt for getting off so lightly.<br /><br />Now I'm watching impending disaster for Florida. Pray for them to survive Irma. Pray for Houston to recover from Harvey.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=zubiemom&ditemid=28540" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
