However the numbers affected by Harvey look small alongside the havoc wreaked by flooding across southern Asia during the very same period. More than 1,200 people have been killed, and the lives of some 40 million others turned upside down, by torrential rain in northern India, southern Nepal, northern Bangladesh and southern Pakistan.Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-48258161989384535852017-09-05T00:05:29.392-05:002017-09-05T00:05:29.392-05:00Cosmetology School.

More information please - put it in a post when you are short of ideas....<br />I appreciate your comment about Mexico offering help, we would never hear about that down here with our parochial, filtered and managed news. Thanks Rick. <br />Even the smallest of offerings are welcome I'm sure - and Ruby was so right. Prayers are fine but wings are even finer. Bit of bad grammar there. And while I'm on the comment roll, the idea of reading your writing aloud will make a very great difference to the end result.<br /><br />Alphie<br />Alphie Souphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17041492283753978975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-30408349837997095992017-09-04T23:25:12.378-05:002017-09-04T23:25:12.378-05:00

It is strange, much of Houston was not effected, but the part that was will be in recovery for years. I met a lady a few years later in the Tennessee mountains she had left Nawlins and was not going back. She was settled in the Tennessee mountains. jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-44975423055149469122017-09-04T20:48:42.211-05:002017-09-04T20:48:42.211-05:00Our church is collecting donations for Samaritans ...Our church is collecting donations for Samaritans purse to help relief efforts.
