It easily could've have been Houston. I was here for tropical storm allision which flooded the whole city. Just doing what I would want someone doing for me.
it is easier for them to buy in bulk at a discounted price than it is to ship donations to the area. they are people volunteering here driving supplies over to shelters. a lot of people want to help. I have to drive by the dome tonight. we'll see how chaotic it is.
