Yeah my twelve year old is best friends with one of the kids. We just met the rest of the family, but we weren't complete strangers. It's getting real crazy right now. There are hundreds of people a few miles away in Baytown that are trying to get to dry land, but there are only about ten boats able to get to them. There are convoys of rednecks driving around with truck beds full of people and animals looking for places to take them. All the local churches and bars are getting turned into shelters. It's not just Texans helping out. There have been hundreds of trucks/flat bottoms coming over from Louisiana. Those swamp boats that duck hunters use are very efficient in this climate.
