For anyone interested in helping out the Central Texas flood victims. Several organizations are raising donations locally and also doing benefits around town as well. Our thoughts are with the first responders who have been working around the clock doing what they can to locate the 161 who are still reported as missing in the area.

The number of people reported missing in the aftermath of a natural disaster often turns out to be far greater than the eventual death toll. Worried members of the public, unable to reach a relative or friend, report the name to local authorities and to crowd-sourced online databases, and it gets added to a list that can grow distressingly long.
