Shocking Photos from Hurricane Harvey!

The following pics were taken from an area North of the San Jacinto river in Houston, Texas where the flood waters from Hurricane Harvey has turned the freeway into an huge, raging river.

For those of you who have a desire and the means to help, please reach out to one of the official charities that have been set up to help.

And remember that Houston is NOT the only area that needs help. The lives that have been destroyed by this terrible storm cover an area from Corpus Christi to the South and continue North to New Orleans. Please help however you can.
