Texas’ favorite sons ZZ Top, aka, Billy F Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard “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 26th 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.
