Bloom Alums In Harvey Flooding

The Bloom Alumni Association has kept n touch with its alums thru the internet.

Historic flooding continues to worsen in Houston as the remnants of Hurricane Harvey douse southeastern Texas with rain. Emergency personnel used motorboats, airboats and other vehicles to rescue more than 2,000 people in the greater Houston area on Sunday.
Harvey washed over major highways, including Interstate 45 seen above, as flooding spreads. Houston has a population of more than 2.3 million.
As Harvey lingers around Texas' Gulf Coast, where it is forecast to remain for several more days, it is drenching parts of the region with a year's worth of rain in the span of a week. (https://www.cnbc.com/2017/08/2...)

Here are FEW MESSAGES FROM FORMER CHICAGO HEIGHTS RESIDENTS...

Diana Wilson-Szakacs My cousins are in Montgomery, Conroe and Weimer. So far they are still okay, but this is so stressful. My aunt and uncle use to live in Spring.

Pat Heath Hope they stay safe. Jim's brother is outside of Houston, too, and so far is safe.

...."Yes, We're safe but no parts of me trust this system we live in, they never tell you everything and history repeats itself. We should've left... I don't like anxiety and right now I have It! However, We're here for a reason...we gone stay safe, prayerful and appreciative..." Ryan W. Holmes Sr.

..."Living on the Gulf Coast since 1973 I've seen my fair share of hurricanes and flooding. However this is the worst I've seen since I've lived down here. As with any national disaster please set political differences aside and become as one nation. People down there are suffering. Homes are lost, lives are lost and dreams are shattered. I am in constant prayer for my city, my state and my nation. One nation under God..." #prayforHouston

Two years ago My wife and I visited my brother (David and wife Rose) in Galveston and the Southeastern Texas area. This place where this picture was taken, is now underwater. (Galveston post card)
