Hey..if anyone hears of any groups near South Carolina/Eastern Georgia that are organizing to assist the victims of Harvey, would you please let me know? I'm looking for a volunteer organization to head there with to assist with clean up. DM me via twitter @GamecockAngelia




Special of you. I don't know how you'd feel about this, but I recall after Ivan and Katrina and the tornadoes around here, that some peple would just drive to the affected areas and jump out of their car and start helping.

I wondered how he could continue to steam the storm and not help people in need last night.


He was not set up to help anybody I have seen mentioned so far. He did not have a crane or medical supplies for hysterical people.

People were told to leave. They were told if they stay they will die. They were told there would be no help. They chose that path.

Him having a camera, a small SUV and some plumbs and apples afforded him no opportunities to help anybody.

What channel is the weather channel on Direct TV?

There also are some extra channels 361 (weather nation), 361-1 (weather mix), and 361-2 (sampling of local weather stations)

As the eyewall approached last night and we watched Jeff, that was most intense "reality tv" I've ever seen

Him dying was a legit possibility. The "car warsh" could have squashed him.

Debris monitoring and contracting companies are already there. They were there days before.

Goodwilled citizens need to leave the cleanup to the firms and companies equipped to do it. Especially with the event still active.

Channel 4 out of San Antonio is the news channel that has a crew traveling to Rockport. Its the "near Rockport" feed you see on TWC.

Can anyone find a link to that feed?

The Weather Channel has a vehicle getting close to Rockport right now, they will be doing live coverage from Rockport....

Someone needs to tweet TWC and ask them to find the blueshed!



They don't deserve to look upon "The Blue Shed"!

They must pay homage at "The Walmart" first.

Certainly, no one is advocating citizens to get into harm's way.
The contracted companies will gouge the state and local governments and clear the streets, and pick up large debris, etc.
However, there are countless follks who need a limb or two removed from a crushed chain link fence, there are some shutins that could have someone pick up ice and MRE's for them, there are folks that could use some help getting water out of their garages, etc.

I remember when Hugo came thru here. I was pretty young, yet old enough to remember the carnage it caused. It was a cat 5 with 160 mph winds and it weakened to one mph beneath a cat 5 just before it hit. There was just a cement slab left where our beach house had been. SC was absolutely devastated. Ppl came in from all over the place to help our state. So I'd like to return the favor. And since I'm a trauma nurse I could help that way as well.
