If anyone is headed down alone and needs a deckhand to assist getting people in the boat shoot me a PM - I will be glad to jump in with someone leaving from DFW or East to Tyler. I'll also help absorb the costs of getting there and operating. I'd take my boat but my heavy ranger would be more of a hindrance than help.

On zello, try the "VV Friends" channel for north and west houston info.

I saw a line of truck pulling boats on the news yesterday all heading to the Houston area and surrounding cities. I believe it was on Highway 90.

Whoever goes, watch out for and help abandoned pets please! IN65

We just rolled back into town from Orange after hitching a ride back. We had minimal service, zello was sketchy, and we lost contact with some people I had been talking to. We ended up putting our truck into 5+ foot of water on a freak accident going into a drainage ditch, we tried draining everything, replaced all filters, oil, and we think we blew something up the motor about 2 minutes after getting it running again. We had to abandon it. Going to try and come down for it this weekend with a trailer. Everyone be careful down there. It is seriously crazy. Have people wade where you're going to drive if you have ANY doubts about how deep it is. God bless everybody down there, you're all heroes.

https://youtu.be/lkp8dacT_dc https://youtu.be/lkp8dacT_dc there is so many people down there with boats it's on real Jewel why you won't go 5 feet without seeing somebody with aluminum boat I was lucky enough to go the opposite direction as everybody else and I actually saw some stuff by myself but everywhere I went there was helicopters to right by me so the helicopters were getting everybody I just took them water and food or anything they needed. You have to watch out for the crackheads that want to ride to the hotels that are underwater because they having a big party on top of the hotels and their just tearing it up there's some guys that need a ride to the spots where they're going to get all high and there's a bunch of girls up in the hotels and it's a big mess in Port Arthur and Beaumont

From someone down there. He said NOT to go down. Someone got stabbed trying to help others was the report he got. Also State Police are taking over a lot of the areas and they will not even let firemen go in right now. This is from him first hand. He is well armed.

better get all your shots.....that's what the dr. are saying.......

For all that did help and went thru high water make sure you check your diffs, both of my trucks had plenty of water in them. The front diffs were the worst.
