If you are a senior citizen or have another problem that prohibits you from sandbagging you can always do what my husband and I did. We took some soda, water and ice down to the sandbaggers. If everyone in our subdivision who cannot help sandbag would just stop by with just 1 12 pack of soda, a case of water or ice it would help these people out.
There are 314 homes in Baysore and most like ours are not in danger of flooding but it would be nice if everyone would help in some way.
They are all working really hard down there to save homes.

I think we got Bayshore shored up pretty well. Stacie and I got a babysitter and helped out where we could. I ran into Brian Waldrop at the Houser's home on Tenbrook, and he said they looked good with labor there, so we drove up Telegraph looking to help. |The ends of June, Kathryn, and Nancy I believe are all in the flood plain, however, it does not look like anyone has bagged there, but they did have sand delivered, so they may need baggers tomorrow. It was dark by the time we got over there, so I could not see the water, so not sure if it was close.

I do worry about the homes on Convair that back up to the Park. The lake and creek are rising, but they were not bagging nor, did I see any sand. I think as of now, the predictions have the water 3 feet higher than their elevation there.

Anyone that knows of any folks that need help, please keep us posted. Stacie and I, and I am sure many others as well, will be around tomorrow to help anywhere needed. It was awesome to see people just stop by to help, from both inside and outside the community. A driver for Hey Taxi showed up while we were bagging in Bayshore and helped bag between taxi runs.
