Well, if that's the case, I have a small goatmilk soap and other skin care products company, I would love to send you a sample to see what you think.

Personally, dogs, cats, sugar gliders and an African gray parret. Other members have done every kind of live stock you can think of. Two nights ago we had to pick up a guy in his kayak that was trying to rescue his calf and got swept away. We found him with that calf draped over the front of his kayak and and to haul him, the calf, and the kyak back to dry land.

It can be touch and go with communication. With our group is great, but we work with the sheriff's department all year long so those lines are well established. With other civilIan's it's crap. We have so many task force guys, FEMAA, feds and other resources that civilians aren't needed by the powers that be. With that being said, if you want to help your fellow man, go for it! Just be careful, we have had to pull a few "Texas navy"/"Cajon navy" people out of harms way. I drive a lifter 1997 f250, but not a monster truck like on the from page.

Deaths, no where near the last major storms. My county we have 0 direct flood deaths. Houston has very few. Now, if Houston was told to evacuate, they all would have been stuck on the road and a ton of people would have died on the road. As it is, there is a lot of high water rescues because everyone is in their homes but for the most part they are safe in their homes and just need to get out before they run out of food and water.

As for the areas directly hit, they were a lot less populated than Houston or New Orleans so the death toll is lower.

Economicly, we are in for a big price tag. Places that have never seen water in the county are flooded and the water is still on the rise.
