Going into Rockport-Fulton tonight

Going to retrieve my mom and stepdad.  Really bracing myself for what I’m going to see.  They have a curfew set in place by the Texas National Guard by 7PM.  She hasn’t been allowed to leave the past few days because the Guard wouldn’t allow them until they met with FEMA.  Of course she gladly needed to meet with them anyway as they started at least fixing part of the house up so it can remain livable, however, with her generator almost out of gas and not even FEMA or the TNG being able to provide that as a commodity (there is no gas in Rockport), she’s going to be without.  Gonna grab what groceries we can salvage and get her the fuck out of there.

Back at work today

Shit is cray but we got this. Got to speak with a few of my brothers and sisters in uniform today that serve with the Texas National Guard and met two of them that personally helped my mother as soon as she got back home to Rockport. I don't think I've cried so hard since my grandmother passed away, for the kindness that these people have shown my entire home town and my family just slays me. We got phone numbers and we're going to be exchanging texts and keeping in touch and it's a beautiful thing.

Last couple shots of South Texas. Shrimping and fishing is a big part of the economy here. And makes for beautiful shots for a photographer too! #rockporttx #rockportstrong (at Rockport, Texas)
