Wisconsin’s Red Cross and U-S Coast Guard stations have sent about 80 people to Texas to help those flooded out by Hurricane Harvey. Patty Flowers, C-E-O of the state’s Red Cross chapter, says she expects to see a “lot of devastation” when she arrives in the Houston area in the next couple days. Flowers says shelters are only being placed where there is not much flooding, and her volunteers will only go where it’s safe. The state Red Cross has sent almost 60 people to the hurricane region, and many more are waiting to be called out. The massive rains in the Houston area have pretty much ended, but the hurricane is expected to make a second landfall further east at the Texas/Louisiana border in a place that’s already had lots of rain this summer.
