Anybody heading that way, or out that way that could use some help. There's a bunch of Rover folks out in the Lone Star. Be safe, be well.

I worked in the old Phillips Petroleum Building in Houston for quite a few years. If I could get to Texas I would certainly come there and help out even at my tender age, what has happened is an enormous catastrophe. Stay safe and good luck.

I've seen the pictures on the news. I can't imagine being there. Hoping for a quick recovery.

Things are finally trying to get back to normal around here in Beaumont/Vidor. Power has been restored, city water is drinkable again (no more boiling water), traffic is back to normal, and fuel isn't a problem anymore. Some businesses are still closed or recovering from Harvey, and a lot of people are without their cars, homes, or possessions.

Car Dealerships have empty lots and they've got nearly 1.5 million cars sitting in Baytown, TX awaiting their fate at the scrap yards.

I was extremely lucky and had no property damage, all 5 of my Land Rover's made it, and my family and I were safe.

I got to see what my 99 D2 could handle (deep water wise) and it performed flawlessly even though it didn't have a snorkel! Made me proud to be driving a LR.
