Lmaoooo gonna get cut off from town/train station by torrential rain and flooding hahaha. Like we're probably gonna be fine but I will miss my train and have to stay in this fucking bug infested 'house' for another three days so feeling pretty stressed.

This is my favorite stage of cleaning up a lot of fucking water. When you pass the "...i KNOW something is happening bc the shopvac is filling with water but it LOOKS like i'm making no fucking progress" stage and into the "OH I CAN MOVE THE VACUUM NOW" and past that into the "there are dry patches in the floor and you can tell where the floor is lower bc the water is settling in there and there's a small enough amount that you can make stripes of wet and dry areas." The RELIEF that comes with that stage is so nice.

My second favorite stage is after the floor dries and everything else is done and I get to sanitize the floor. The last step :) And then it's CLEAN again!

I hate making this kind of post, but I'm at the point that I don't really know what else to do and I have exhausted all other options.

Last year, on July 10 2023, my hometown was devastated by catastrophic flooding. All surrounding towns were hit, thousands lost their homes, and it's taken us a whole year to rebuild.

Yesterday, the anniversary of the flood, it happened again.

This time, my mother in law's house (above) was washed away entirely, along with everything she owned as well as her two cats. Roads were catastrophically damaged and washed away, making travel difficult. Our water systems were destroyed, meaning that we all need to buy jugged water now for everything we do. I'm also taking care of my girlfriend's cat & apartment one town over, but I have to drive out of my way to get there (extra gas costs) due to the destroyed roads. I also took in an additional family whose house was damaged in the flood last night; a 6 year old girl and her Dad.

I am disabled & live on a fixed income with my 3 kids, and I really need your help right now. All funds are to be used towards food, replacement clothing and personal care items for the kiddos in my care, and for transportation costs.

for those who are able to donate, every penny is appreciated!

Thank you for your shares & care. Hug your loved ones & stay safe

My kid's grandmother lost her house, pets, everything.

Here is a video she took of the flood just before evacuating (there's usually 25 feet before the river below that balcony)

And a picture from approximately 20 minutes later.

It's just. Gone.

I will be setting up a GoFundMe later on, she did make it out and everyone is safe, but we're still collectively assessing the damage as a community.

This is. The one year anniversary of our last catastrophic flood. Christ help us.

So I won’t be making it home for possible hours ( maybe not until tomorrow ). For now I’m stuck at an HEB parking lot

I was already swept off the road this morning ( water bent my LP ) and I sprained my wrist pretty bad
