No weekly roundup this week. Given what my hometown of New Orleans went through twelve years ago this week I wanted to share links to sites where you can help the people of Southeast Texas. At this point a monetary donation is the best way to help.

I can’t begin to imagine the extent of the flooding that has happened in the Houston area and when the flood waters recede we will finally learn how many homes and businesses were affected. Keep the people of Texas and Louisiana in your thoughts as they recover from this disaster.
