Hurricane Season 2017

[BS Wildcats]

Irma now forecast to make it into the Gulf.  Still being forecast to make a northeasterly turn.  All bets are off now though, as it was also forecast to make that turn long before making it to the Gulf.

Irma, Jose, and Katia are all out there now.  This last few weeks is about to get worse.

Back to Harvey.  My SIL went to a co-workers flooded home in Pinewood to help out today.  He said the swimming pool had bass and perch swimming in it.

This cool front saved us.  If not for it likely all three would've hit somewhere on the gulf coast

A friend of mine sent me a picture of the Kingwood high school students changing classes at Summer Creek today.  Absolutely shoulder to shoulder wall to wall.  Both schools are going half days, with KHS in the afternoons until 6.  

Below is a video of Kingwood beginning their first day on the SCHS campus.

Not sure where to post this and maybe some already have.  I hope some of you will see it especially some of our local high school athletes.

I saw of lot of young people out helping during this Harvey disaster from Lamar University and from some of our local high schools.  I was helped in a small way by some local high school athletes (realized later they are quite the star athletes as well);  anyway, this kind of gives a good feeling about humanity and especially some of our young people.  Some of these were just 14 and 15 years old but they had strength and able bodies to help - there were both male and female so thanks to all.  It was almost unreal the caring and compassion they showed like they were trained professionals.

I will be especially following the ones I saw and their careers - and will wish them all the best unless of course they are playing against the teams I pull for.

Again, sincere thanks and may you be greatly blessed for the good things you did.

From the NWS.....

9 day total rainfall from Harvey in Nederland.....64.58 inches

26 inches in one day (max.)

7 inches in one hour (max.)

U.S. averages 39 inches of rainfall per year.

Nederland's average yearly rainfall is 64 inches.

Nederland holds the world record for rainfall during a tropical storm/hurricane yet no one was elligible for FEMA trailers. Must be white privilege.
