TX/LA Flooding!

TX/LA Flooding!

I am still kinda on a break right now, but I wanted to get this shared. There is sooo much on the news that is awful, but a lot of it is too dark to share here. The one thing I wanted to point out is the massive, record breaking, will-be-a-historical-event, flood in Texas. Not only that, but as of yesterday, it was announced that western Louisiana is being affected. Fortunately, the deaths have been very low (9 people last I checked, 6 of those due to a family member only caring for himself). Yet people are having to be flown out and rescued. The navy is getting involved now, I read from BBC this morning.

If you are in or near these flooded areas, please stay safe! You all are in my thoughts. As for everyone else, please keep thinking about Texas and Louisiana, all the people.

As a note, this hurricane hit Friday, and now according to BBC the slow moving path will end up hitting as far as KY by 1:00 on Saturday. Cedar Bayou, TX, alone has reached a little over 4.3 feet of water (about 1.318 meters).

So PLEASE, please, keep these people in your thoughts. All I can think of are all those people, including some I know of (Youtubers and such, but still true, true people).

And again, if you are in this, please be safe.

To explain goddaughters: You know how Cinderella has a fairy godmother? Cinderella is that fairy's goddaughter. Mother, daughter, godmother, goddaughter.

Do you know what a Godmother is? A Goddaughter is the same, only you're talking about the daughter, not the mother. I don't know if that made any sense, lol! xD :)

Oh, and we've heard from my family in TX! They're doing fine! I don't know if they had to evacuate or not, but I do know they are okay! :D

Florida is also flooding right now. The county where I used to live had to close schools for a day and it stated raining at my new school the day it was closed, and I had to take my shoes off to walk on the sidewalk because I was literally wading through the water. XD

It's been super hot. It reach 109, 111, 110, 108 in the last week. It also been very smoky. Let's pray for the people with asoma in Californa, and the homeless in California.  It's really bad for them right now.
