God Bless Texas Their Going To Need The Help to Recovering From The Storms

The Storm thats hammering the coast of Texas from the Gulf of Mexico is the worst since 2005.Katrina smashed into New Orleans and Texas along the coast.Damage was catastrophic then.

The storm there now will drop a years worth of rain in a matter of hours.3 feet of water or so in that amount of time.There's already that amount in low laying ares.Some homes in lower areas are now 3/4 under waters with people going to the attic for safety.They are being told to take an axe with them into the attic.The axe is to chop a hole in the roof for escape.That warning sounds ominous,but makes very good sense.

Many blocks of area towns have been destroyed by the horrific high winds compounded with torrential rains.These people are in a real bad situation.News casters show themselves trapped on bridges with others because the roads have been covered with rushing flood waters with strong under currents.Those folks are going to need food,shelter, Blankets and water to drink.Many who have health problems will need injuries and medical care,will need attention by Doctors.

I would hope the Government will take quicker with better action than the Katrina fiasco where people are still trying to get help.I mention this because I know that when these folks become homeless without the paperwork to prove they have a residence,Red cross and food-link will turn them away.Been there and got the bitter memories.

I hope the Texas Law enforcement does not open fire on people who are carrying their own meager belongings.They were mistaken as looters during Katrina and shot dead trying to get to safety after their homes were destroyed.I remember Texas as better than that.

I hope and pray the Texas Governor will quickly act to ensure those fine Texans the care and help they will need for a long while to come.Texans are a special breed of humanity.I lived and walked among them for many years.I grew to respect the tough hearted mindset that made them famous all over the world in movies. People  marvel at  the heart of strength that is Texas.

There's already several dead and numerous injuries reported.Many missing.Lets pray for them and hope there is not any more than what is already.My heart goes out to those families and friends of Those dead or lost.

I can almost see Those Texans  in my mind,eyeing the devastation in pain.I know that,that thought  already is thinking past the storm to rebuilding better than it was. Recovery.Not the first invader into Texas.

I was once told the Texas way was to Pick yourself up,Brush yourself off,and get back on the horse.A Texan told me that at a rodeo after a hard fall.Seemed like sound advice.

I would urge anyone who has heart to donate what you think is going to help to the organizations that  Usually help such disasters.Some folks are already organizing packages to go to those areas that will need to be using survival type products.Most Fema,Red Cross,and US disaster websites can clue you in with lists of what sorts of things make the misery seem tolerable.

Churches often get together to render aid and comfort near or far away.Phone numbers also usually accompany those sights to further your efforts.It is the right thing to do.Share what we can to those who have lost all.

The Texans will no doubt show the rest of the United States how things should be among people.My bet is that they will pull together no matter the differences.It is my most profound prayer that they will do just that.It is the way I remember them.Easy going with a heart of fire when things get rough.

Texas is one of several states that could become a separate nation if they so voted.The point is that they do not.The Texas heart is free,but still the largest American State.Like all our United States and her people,

WE THE PEOPLE must take of each other through all the turmoil and strife.It is all we have that makes us who we are.Though each of us are so very different in so many ways.We still have the fabric we call the UNITED STATES.

That fabric is still being woven with each awakening that we share.That includes time to help humans in trouble.This is a time to pull together. It's more historically important than ever before.

Once we lose that fabric,that unity we will fall to the glory of all who would seek to conquer or destroy us because of what we believe in  Texas is a historical symbol of that belief .With the same bright and dark historical highlights as any other place.Like any other place the people still occasionally need a hand to get back up and brush themselves off to get back on their feet again.

 This is that very important time to do just that.

The very first reaction movement to assist and recover.This is anyone's chance to become a Texan from anywhere in the world by lending a hand..It's what a Texan would do.

Helping is a great way to reach out to folks that you may never know personally,but it sure makes you feel the world is a better place cuz you helped make it that way.

Thanx for being here and please take care of yourself.No one can do a better job than you.

God Bless Texas,I hope one day to return for awhile there.It is on my Bucket List.

I am writing you for as long as I can.The electric power grid may fall as I write this article.New York Has evacuated many areas of the huge city.Manhattan is being hit by powerful weapons that the United States has no way of defending themselves from.There is so much desolation with wind and water in the streets.Manhattan in deserted of all people.Wallstreet is empty.Buildings have been damaged by the tremendous wind and forces of the weapons used by the attacker.

New Jersey has been hit directly as the invader breaches the shores and destroys property in its path.People are evacuating by order of New Jerseys Governor Christie.The People that have chosen to stay behind are left to their own survival.This destroyer has no mercy for any one.Old,young,infant,will be subject to harm and menace.The state of New Jersey is ground zero at this point.There is no defense for this terrible attack.
There is an overwhelming force invading our shores.

Delaware was attacked earlier today and the power grid was crashed for over 12000 households.Those homes may not have electricity for the next 3 weeks.The grid has been hit hard.6300 National guard have been called out to active duty to help survivors and evacuated persons.The service people from dozens of states and Canada to try to fix all the damage that is expected before the attackers rage is spent.There is more power yet to come.The invader is expected to join forces with two other allies to the west of Pennsylvania.The path of the invader will then head north into the middle of the New York State

This is the worst such attack on the eastern United States in history.Cellphones are expected to become useless for anything but text messages.predictions are that the fury of this attacker will increase as the day goes on.The destruction is expected to be in the billions of dollars.It may take years to rebuild the damage.
63million households are under the threat of being hammered by this attacker
 15 High rises have been evacuated in New York City/Manhattan N.Y.

We are under the attack by  the Largest Super Storm in history.It is mother nature at the her worst.The earth is striking at the most powerful nation on earth.It is the Super Storm of Hollywood proportions.This is the things of nightmares that we have watched in movies for years.There is one difference in this reality....
WE WILL SURVIVE!!!We will rebuild and prepare for future events like this.

If you are reading this ,Please take refuge in some shelter that is rated for Disasters.This is a real event and not a movie.Your safety depends on remaining calm and taking care of you and your loved ones.

You  should pack the following supplies in a dufflebag or pack,basket etc.:
Medicines
ez open foods and snacks for 3days
Water in bottles
Toilet tissues and paper towels
eating untensils
Blankets or sleeping bag
First Aid kit
Special foods or supplies ie:Diabetic snacks,etc.
Change of clothes
Hygiene it with toothpaste,towel,washclothe,
Pets need their supplies if you are allowed to take them.Meds,Food,etc

This is very serious an event folks.My lights are blinking as the outside edges of the storm hits.
I am in New York and it is windy,Raining hard and the stores are packed with folks shopping as though it was the end of the world.We finally have a reason to hear news that does not in involve the Presidential Elections.If you are told to leave,don't be stupid and stay.There is no one going to worry about you if  you are determined to stay in harms way.The rescuers have families to care for.You are slid to the bottom of a list of folks to be rescued after it is all over.Survival involves doing the things that put you at an advantage over a situation.
Please take care in situations like this .It need the smarts to use your brain and take care to live.

That is all for now my friends.I will Blog you as I can in the days to come.I'm okay and will take my own advise when Hurricane Sandy Plows it's way thru here in a day or so.I pride myself on knowing a little about survival.We "Technomads", are like that.
Pray for those in it's path ,Keep the faith and hope for the best.

10/31/2012
This was to be sent as the storm was approaching  the U.S. coastline of New Jersey.I had a large red warning that kept flashing on my blog screen from somewhere Saying,"this should not be posted".I have no clue as to who,or why.This lights flashed on and off.The cable TV in the place with free WIFI lost it's
TV portion of Satellite reception.Then about 20 minutes later,as I signed my Blog,The internet went dead.

There was various ideas of what was going on by others in the place.One person stated that the cable provider had been told to cut the cable off for National security.Another said they called the 911 to ask if the National guard was doing Martial Law yet.It got real crazy in the local supermarkets.Shelves were sold out of everything.The Frozen foods were gone(TV dinners).I really wondered how the folks buying all this FROZEN food Thought it would keep with out electricity!

The media Hyped the storm like the movies had programmed them to do so.Ok....let us go along with the hysterics for a moment.Was this storm an act of nature or was it something else that created it?H.A.R.P.?
Aliens?Was it a weapon of mass destruction.Was it a prelude to the Superstorm that movies predict?How about December 21rst and the end of the world?Would it not be a smart move to not get caught with your proverbial "pants down"if this type of disaster Actually is a omen of the future?

This may be a very good time to Plan ahead for the unexpected,even if it never happens.We all know that it just never could happen to you.It is always the other guy,right?I wonder how many folks became the "other guy" and are sitting in the dark,cold,hungry and without power today.They thought as you .Be Prepared  as best you can...That is all any of us can do..

BYE for now
