Hurricane Harvey is devastating the Houston area right now. My neighborhood seems to be safe, but we’re getting some pretty intense rain and very minor flooding. The people living here seem really into it, so I went out and sketched some of what I saw them doing.
(Those kids in the golf cart were splashing around on that flooded sidewalk before they hopped back onto their ride!)
JUST IN: In forceful response to critics who say that Houston should have been evacuated for #Harvey, the mayor says the can "talk, talk, talk" about the "absurd" idea of evacuating 6,500,000 people in 2 days -- or they can come help him in managing the situation.
I love these flowers but my mind is elsewhere. As you no doubt know, my friends in southeast Texas, Rockport, Port Aransas, Houston, are in a bit of trouble. They are going need a little help and you know them, they are way too proud and independent to ask. ;-)
There are some ways you can help.
You can donate to the United Ways of Texaxs Hurricane Relief Fund, which gives you some choices if you don’t want to donate to Houston alone.
Harvey flood victims in for restoration, the dresser was completely under water for 2 weeks. The others were off the ground but still in the flood. Console was on its end and you can actually see the water line across the top. Good thing these are all steel otherwise they'd be in the dumpster. We'll give them a thorough cleaning and make sure they not only look new but also get rid of the horid SMELL! #harveyflood #houstonflood2017 #houstonflood #houstonstrong #modernindustrialfurniture
#Repost from @time: Houston resident Aric Harding returned to his flooded home in Friendswood, Texas to pick up toys for his children. One of his sons worried that the piano was destroyed, but when Harding found that the piano survived, he played a beautiful song in the waist-deep water.⠀ ⠀ Source: Aric Harding #TBEHURRICANEHARVEYSBRELIEF #HurricaneHarvey #Houston #Hurricane #Harvey #HoustonFlood #PrayForHouston #Texas #Rescue #HoustonStrong #SuperBowl #cadillac #janetjackson #rapalot #ATown2HTown #Help #SOS #Atlanta #the80way (at Friendswood, Texas)

#flashback #Repost @jquasto Last night was an incredible live podcast event with @bookertfivex and @realsharmell to raise money for kids in Houston as well as local schools affected by Hurricane Harvey. Booker and Sharmell have huge hearts and are determined to help their city and everyone who lives there, so the link below is a way for you to get some great memorabilia and help the rebuilding process. Also kudos to @bradgilmore @chuckrice and @marcwarzecha for being the squad to put it all together.

Hey guys so for those who are affected by Harvey AirBnB has a tool designed for evacuees. Dallas, Austin and San Antonio are the main ones marked (??), but you can still try and search regularly if you're in need of shelter. There are BnB's in Houston, Katy, Cypress, Pearland, Sugarland, etc. that are willing to help those that are in distress for $0-$10/night. For those who DONT know what AirBnB is, it's an online marketplace and hospitality service, enabling people to lease or rent short-term lodging including vacation rentals, apartment rentals, homestays, hostel beds, or hotel rooms. I use it ALL THE TIME when I'm getting ready to travel somewhere. AirBnB provided me with a $150 coupon so I could help two friends take shelter. Not saying that is available for everyone but that shows how deeply concerned they are. Don't ask me about the coupon, they called me personally..
