“Houston is our home
and we stand alongside or neighbors”
Houston, TX — The city of Houston, Texas, the fourth largest city in the
nation, has witnessed immeasurable damage and its people have endured
gut-wrenching hardship at the hands of Hurricane Harvey since Friday, the
26 th of August. There is water everywhere, more than chest deep in some
neighborhoods.
Other cities and towns have also suffered inconceivable devastation from
winds, floods, and even tornados, including Rockport, Texas, which by some
estimations now has 40% of infrastructure described as “structurally
unsound” and unusable.
As an attentive and giving nation watched the disaster unfold, they saw folks
everywhere rally to aid the people of
Texas. Assistance has come from as
far away as New York, Kentucky, and
Louisiana, but Texans themselves have
been out in force helping their
neighbors, even as some themselves
have lost everything they once had.

Texas’ favorite sons <strong>ZZ</strong> <strong>Top</strong>, aka, Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank
Beard, issued this statement earlier today:
“Houston has played host to <strong>ZZ</strong> <strong>Top</strong> as our home base since we first banded together
more than four decades ago, making us especially concerned with the plight of so
many of our fellow Texans in the wake of the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey.
We are encouraged by the city’s and state’s recovery efforts from this tragic event
and stand alongside our neighbors. Long ago, we recorded a song called ‘Heaven,
Hell or Houston.’ We’re confident that, in the near future, the first word will describe
the title’s third word and the middle will soon be overcome”.
