    Lots of photos and stories. One resident who didn't evacuate prevented a home invasion by shooting a suspect who tried to burglarize the home an hour after the hurricane hit.

    Franklin's BBQ is the biggest loss from Harvey.

    I hope he's back soon. I'm headed to Austin soon-ish

    No clue until assignments. We're attached to a few units, a rescue mci supply & logistics truck, asap Polaris vehicles for rescue and transfer from shit to safe, and rescue apparatus. So it could be anything from rescues to supplies to inbetweens. Due to our training we can theoretically be pulled into the usar shit but they should have enough.

    The issue is that there is a 2 week max on deployment, so if this is a month to multi month process they could just have us be the next 2 week crew to relieve pretty much any team which also is very likely.

    In my case I'd imagine setting up the communication infrastructure for the Coast Guard or any other agencies. Most of us on the list at our particular unit are used to do doing it everytime Obama went on vacation at the Vineyard, setting up a comm center for the Secret Service to coordinate with the Coast Guard.

    Could also be doing "standard" relief stuff, but I'd wager the comms stuff will be my main job.

    Fairly casual word choice from the NWS.
