Hurricane Harvey We Evacuated But Will Probably Lose Everything

in life •  7 years ago  (edited)

It Started As A Tropical Storm And Now Will Hit Super Fast As Cat 3 Plus Hurricane!

It is literally almost a direct hit. We were fortunate enough to board up the house and hopefully everything will be there when we get back but it is not likely that we will return to anything. You flood models alone ill probably destroy everything and who knows how it will hold up against 100 + mph winds. At the time we left it was just going to be a cat 1 and debated staying. We left and beat most of the really bad traffic. The bad news is that we might have not went far enough north yet. Back on the road in the morning hopefully to safe ground.

Our area is going to have around a 10 ft storm surge and 28 inches of rain. Everyone was forced to evacuate about 3 hrs after we left. Your thoughts and prayers are greatly appreciated. @binkgirl makes our escape video for me. We are devastated to know that everything we have worked so hard for will more than likely be destroyed.

@steemthat should run smoothly and other services should work. I might be unable to do bot audits for a few days . In the event @steemthat misses an upvote because of a server failure I will audit and issue refunds as needed. I'm not expecting any issues with that but I'm not going to be able to handle customer service issues very effectively for 48 to 96 hours as I normally would. Please accept my apologies.

We got out to safety but some people we love dearly stayed behind. The hurricane is still strengthening possible category 4 when it hits now. Our little town is probably washed to the gulf if it is as bad as they say. 30 Inches of rain expected after the 12 -15 foot tsunami waves. We lived at the top of lavaca bay just north of Port Lavaca. There are so many people stuck on the interstates . They did not make it mandatory until too late between Rockport and Corpus. Just hit category 4. Might go to 5 now...WOW! Very Dangerous!

That is some bad power that hurricane got.
I hope people find safe places to ride the storm out, this is the worst loosing every thing and not knowing if you're love ones are OK.
Be safe

No need to apologize, it's crazy what you are going through. My thoughts with you and your family. I really hope it stops. God bless.

Be safe and Godspeed!
