I have been in your shoes before. It was scary and I would have to catch myself when I would start thinking the worst. Thankfully my people eventually turned up. Praying for your loved one and everyone over there living this nightmare.

This takes me right back to 2005- sitting on a curb outside the La Quinta trying to reach folks by cell/text - boss, friends, family - while understanding I have a wife and 2 yr old up in the room- will i even have a career now? an absolute avalanche of "What now" comes rushing over you and it can be quite paralyzing.

This sounds incredibly familiar right down to the 2 yr old and wife while wondering if I would have a job in the future and if I would get a paycheck to pay the bills that were due in a few days. I recall being more or less paralyzed for 4 or 5 days. And that was without still being in the disaster area with limited access to food, water, and electricity. I know it was much worse for so many then and so many now.

And yeah, I'm feeling some PSTD just thinking about it again.

and we had just moved into new house we bought June of 2005 in Madisonville. We actually were moving in the weekend of when i think it was TS Charlotte made landfall.

Hell, Sat morning- 8/28 - Hurwitz Mintz delivery truck showed up at 9 am to deliver living room- I said " ummm dude yall not listening to radio?!??!" take the furniture back to warehouse and get yalls selves out of New Orleans. Im not taking delivery. Poor guy had no clue what was going on. We were on the road out not 2 hrs later.

yeah maybe a SR.Com fundraiser in order for a small town that could use it? or maybe WCK?

i dont know the first thing about setting up a fundraiser. But ill certainly contribute
 
My family member just contacted me on Facebook messenger. Theyre alive,but landlocked in the Brood river area. supposed to be having supplies brought in. We lived in abita for the May 95 floods and she reported it was 100 times worse than that. Helicopters everywhere. I havnt slept more than a couple of hours for 3 days now.
