On Saturday in Houston was announced as the next evacuation. This time because of river flooding to the North of the city. The Brazos river (Brazos River) and the Neches (Neches River) are rapidly overflows its banks due to massive rains that accompanied hurricane Harvey. Evacuation is declared in the County of Brazoria, severely affected by the hurricane beaumont. Recently placed in temporary shelters people are evacuated to San Antonio.
However, not all refer to such actions of the authorities with understanding. So, in Katy (TX), about 200 people staged a rally with the requirement immediately to let them know when they can return to their homes. At the moment, the beginning of the school year was under threat. More than 12,000 students are forced to stay at home or in a temporary shelter, since about 200 schools Houston flooded. Just this afternoon, the city opened its first grocery stores.
But there are nice moments. Caring citizens organized an action of collecting money with Go Fund Meto provide a well-deserved vacation to the district meteorologist Jeff Lindner, who fearlessly and tirelessly worked during a hurricane in the middle of it. To date, the campaign has raised more than 17,000 dollars. However, Lindner, as a civil servant, said he could not accept the money and expressed his desire to direct them to charities to help flood victims.
