Last week Texas was hit hard by Hurricane Harvey. Although the storm was terrible in its own right, the flooding that occurred afterward was absolutely devastating. The storm did not affect us personally, but it did touch close to home. Mr. Woodard was to return to Houston for chemotherapy on the day the hospital flooded. As he had been diagnosed with a rare, aggressive form of cancer we were all concerned that this delay would drastically change his prognosis. Fortunately, he was able to get in today and started treatments immediately. We were glad to hear that the delay did not change his health status and will continue to send good thoughts his way.
This week another hurricane has made the news. This one followed the alphabet to I and was named Irma. It should leave Houston along this time, but threatens to make landfall on several Caribbean Islands, Florida, Georgia and South Carolina. Mass evacuations of Miami have already started and Meg said that one of her camp counselors has already made it from Southern Florida to Orlando to ride out the storm. Bethany participated in a Hurricane Harvey drive this week. Cam took in our diapers, cleaners, blanket and canned goods today. I wouldn't be surprised if there was another drive next week for Irma. The news reported that this could be the most horrific hurricane in United States history. Hopefully, this will not be the case. Thankful that they have had so much warning and with Hurricane Harvey fresh on everyone's mind I know that most in the path of the storm should take it seriously.
