I drove from Austin down into Houston yesterday, helped a friend extract his 80 year old dad and his two dogs. I offered my LC in case we needed to drive through water, we strapped a canoe on top if it was needed to reach his dad's house. His dad had lived in the house since 1982 and for the first time had water in the house, about 8", on Sunday. By the time we got to his house yesterday it had receded and we did not need canoe, just hard to find routes in and out of town. I felt pretty good after getting his dad and dogs and finding a way out, but since late last night and early this morning I feel very guilty as I realize we should have taken more supplies to donate and stayed to help others. We didn't really plan it out well since it was spur of the moment after hearing his house had water, if I had thought about the overall situation I could have done more to help others. Kind of a screw up on my part. My friend is at least more at ease knowing his dad is safe, his mom had passed away just a couple months ago so his dad is dealing with a lot between that and house flooding.
Good fun spinning all 4 axles in the slop though
