They're advising to call 311 for non emergency advise and help. You might let them know your situation and see what their thoughts are.

Kiki, it appears to be tracking SSE again.

Does anyone have a Facebook account? Maybe a request could be sent to The Cajun Navy to drop off some items if they are in Kiki's neighborhood.

Here's The Cajun Navy's Twitter account. I wouldn't post addresses on Twitter, but someone with a Twitter account could send them a private message.

Forecast for the Pearland area is one more inch with a trace each day up until next week when another moisture event may occur. Regardless this event is far from over, water maybe in place for two + weeks. Water from up north has yet to drain through Houston.

Kiki said they're fine for now, she'd rather the Cajun navy focus on their rescues. She said the rain has stopped, and she's having trouble getting online, but her home is still dry.

I sure will. I have been texting her and let her know everyone was concerned. And I asked if they needed a supply drop from the Cajun Navy which is when she said to let them focus on rescuing for now. They're still doing fine so far, watching movies and being hilarious.

For our BYC poster from Ireland and Australia--- you are right about alligators.

Anyone who's been to the tourist attraction near Beaumont -- their two biggest alligators are in trailers.

The article has some good advice about the wildlife -- if you can leave them alone--they are just taking a breather. (hopefully) -- and they will leave. Watch for snakes in the water.

Check out the internet for things that you may not automatically think of in emergency-- you may have ice cubes in the 'fridge that you can melt for drinking water. They say that toilet tank (not bowl) water is relatively safe to drink. Wishing you all well, and the aftermath may be as bad as the storm as everyone tries to get back to normal and the rivers crest.
Take care y'all.
