Well it's 2:05AM Saturday and I can't sleep, my oldest son lives in Rasharon, Texas. He is finishing his first year for the Houston police department three days a week, and with United Protection Services on Friday and Saturday night at a gated retirement subdivison on the NE side of Houston. United and eight other security service started at 6:00AM Friday morning and each company took a different zip code, they were furnished with medical vans and Hummers for nurseing home evacuation in thier asigned area. I heard from him again at 7:15PM , said they were going to check with the other groups to see if help was needed, and then they were going to hit I-48 I'm thinking he said and I could not change it from MSNBC or the Weather channel and they showed the highway that he had said and it looked GRID locked!!! no movement. Well fore six big guys that are trained to handle disasters, I had no trouble hearing the fear that was in ALL their voices, they sounded like Curly, Moe and Larry Stugis! My Sons in-laws live in Katy, TX. His mother-in law, his wife and two kids were sent to Dallas where her sister lives and they would be there just as soon as thay could. His father-in law stayed behind to hold down the fort, which Katy is south of Houston and they said that it wouldn't get mager there, that's not saying it wasn't going to get a little hairy. So at 7:40 (i'l call him Rob) his father-in-law left out useing the back roads and finlly got to the guys and they said he did 100 MPR trying to get back to Katy. My son and his family live in a place called Rasharon, TX. So if you bring up a texas map and look for Rasharon, I think you will realize that my son and daughter-in-law are going to be looking for their home for a LONG time, cause I really don't think it's there an more! All that matters is their lives, but he risk life and limb to rescue the thirty-six inch LED TV! It would really be wonderful if every one came through this safe!
