Tropical Storm Imelda VS Ima Survivor Sanctuary: WE WON!

- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- 40 inches of rain in 12 hours and we come through unscathed!
Plan A, Plan B, and Plan C were all implemented and worked to perfection! Lessons from Hurricane Harvey!
I love that Ringo claimed the couch 🛋 in the house. He looked like he was about to relax, turn on the TV 📺 and ask for a beer. Lol. Glad y'all made it through. Sad watching these old videos, seeing faces I miss seeing. :(
Lester, we lost almost everything in Hurricane Harvey also. My horse Ranger and miniature donkey, Jack-Jack had to be swam out. Our 3 big dogs and my then 76 yo Mom, my sweet husband and I got into his very lifted pickup and drove just about 8 houses away (acreage property so some distance) to safety. I shake and tremble every time it rains now. I know we aren't alone though. So many fellow Fort Bend and Harris county neighbors and so many others had the same thing happen. It's terrifying, but we did survive. That's why I follow y'all and your critters. I feel hope and love with every story y'all share. We'll all just be family; no we didn't start with blood, but we all share the same love of our critters and this wonderful state. Thank you for taking us all on this journey!
Thanks for sharing your story!
Bless all who are Protectors of animals bug and Small !!
I tried to get my parents to buy a house in Cinco Ranch & not where they are now. But turns out very little flooding in mom & dads area & poor old Cinco sank. They live right off Clay rd. I remember when we moved back in 78 & how it flooded on Clay. That’s before all the subdivisions. I miss the way it used to be.
When you were braving the storm and calling out for pig Trudy the sense of emotion was all consuming! The lump in my throat made swallowing a difficulty. The tears accumulating in my eyes made seeing the screen almost impossible. Forget the dramatic drama series on Netflix. They're all acted. Real life is so much more intense. It raises the emotions. Raises the pulse. Raises the concern. The sense of relief when Trudy was found was overwhelming. Good lord! Phew. I can breath again. Love you guys so much from the UK. ❤❤❤
You are such a caring soul and have the heart the size of Texas. The love you have for your Farm Family says a lot. And I am so sorry that you all had to go though that heart braking ordeal again. Sending prayers -
So glad you were able to learn from the past and do what's best for your animals ❤
I am SO happy to hear this. Y'all were in my thoughts and prayers. Keep up your good work. God Bless You!!!
Bless your heart your saving their lives I think most people would just save themselves but u saved everyone thank u truly
you can tell Shirley really loves her daddy.
Poor Annie* she looked so scared. Hope you all are safe!
This is so frightening! I’ve never been in a storm like this. Great job protecting everyone.♥️
The way you all care for the animals is so admirable. So glad that everyone is ok, I'm in San Antonio and was praying and thinking if you all!! Keep doing the amazing work you do! PS Annie's sass is so strong even in an emergency!! :)
It's 3 yrs later and it's just as good a video as when it happened. Thanks for your ingenuity Lester and Jamie!🙏❤🙏
Jamie so pretty even without make up ❤️
Yes, she is!
We got hurricane Hanna back in July, the mosquitoes were so bad the next week I moved a goat into my bedroom with me. Every one else seemed to be handling them okay, but Bonnie would not stop screaming. So I had to put her inside with me.
Thank you for making not feel like a weirdo for bringing her inside with me that night lol
You guys are such wonderful people♥️♥️♥️ it’s officially on my bucket list to come see y’all and volunteer and do what I can to help you. You give so much for these animals, the least I can do is help give a little back.
Be sure to arrange a visit. Surprise visits can backfire (you arrive in the middle of a Morrow family party! Embarrassing!)
@@julieenslow5915 seriously?? Your concern is she will just do a pop up visit??? First off Im gonna assume that if its just a reg ol visit type thing she'd make contact first ... Gotta get address an so forth. But in an EMERGENCY .. Im sure No One would care if you call first when you come to help wrangle up animals an help with whatever. What I found as an irritant in reading the comments was your "karenish" way of stating your call first.
Personally I dont like it an wont do it to others. I once had a fam friend stayin with me for a bit. This one weekend my kids were at dads an I was enjoying my quiet time in my room watching movies playing online games whatever. My house an cell phone had rung a couple times each of which I was choosing to ignore. Next thing I know my doorbell goes off an my "roomate" decided to open the door. She then knocked on my bed door which I didnt respond. Then she started texting me ... As shes having to entertain the guest who just showed up even tho I hadnt answered any of her calls. So then I started getting texts saying I have company ... I finally responded sayin I dont have company she does she let her in. And thats where it ended for me I continued my day an im not sure how long it took for my roomie to get the uninvited guest to leave... But my point is ... Yes I agree with your call first dont just pop in. But I dont agree with you making your shitty comment to someone who just wants to help. Honestly they probably hear that ALOT an it never happens. Ok my opinionated rant is done lol
@@blahblah4248
So you wanted me to give her a harsh reminder of basic courtesy? Did you catch the video when they commented about people that do just show up? It is one thing for a friend to just show up. I always welcome that. But a stranger?
PS
If a friend does show up that you don't want to see - the way to keep the friendship is to just tell her: I don't feel up to company right now, I should have told you that when you texted, please forgive me. Then she leaves and you go back to your day.
@@julieenslow5915 because she was my friend she already knew my stance. If I dont answer my phone then Im not available. See what you younger people dont understand is back before cell phones ... We had land lines an believe it or not no caller id or answering machines. Meaning you called it could ring 100 times no answer hang up. Or if they were on the phone you got a busy signal. An you just calling until someone answered. So guess what this mentality that we must answer the phone or text right away is completely annoying. Besides Im a grown ass woman an well I'll do it if I want to its my choice. Not rude just a choice leave a dam message an Ill reach out when Im available. I could be working I NEVER loom at my phone while at work or at Dr appointment or visiting my great aunt whatever it is if Im not available im not available. Get it?
That little trailer ark is a very smart idea! Very good back-up plan for emergencies.
SHIRLEY!!! Were trying to save your little life 🤣
Shirley: 🐐
So scary and thank God yall pulled thru. True survivors. I lived down your way during the hurricane Rita times. That anxiety feeling came rushing back watching you. You did well and grandpa is watching and is very proud.
"SHIRLEY! WE'RE TRYING TO SAVE YOUR LITTLE LIFE!" #LOL
Have you ever considered a huge barn that's elevated a few feet higher, then have ramps into it..
It would be safer.. I know that would be a lot of money, but as many people that love what you do, I'm sure they would donate for the cause.
I was thinking the same thing. Maybe raise it 7 foot tall or however tall it needs to be without water getting in .
Exactly, or build a emergency shelter/ark to find security for all the bugs and littles
An emergency shelter that’s 4 foot sounds good but 7 foot tall if to y’all for tornado
I’d donate.
I have never seen this one. Lester and Jami I am glad you rescued all your babies! God bless your heart!
You guys are truly a blessing from God. To open your house for your animals is wonderful and shows the true love that you have for every single on of your babies. They are lucky to have you. Praying hard for no more flooding.🙏🏻🙏🏻 Keep doing what you’re doing and PLEASE keep us updated.
The way you talk to your animals when they’re terrified and you probably are too… you remain so calm! I just know they all love you so much
Ollie was enjoying a bowl (barn) of Kitty-O's! Good thing you kept busy Lester...staving off PTSD panic attack talking it out your plan with your fans. I love you guys. Jami's got your back!
Ringo makes my day!!! He is one of my favorites
What you two do to care for these animals is unbelievable!! You have to be so proud of yourselves to save all these animals while risking yourselves. Thank you for caring so much. These animals are so lucky to live at your sanctuary. ❤️
This video popped up today.. Thurs 4/18/2024. I recall this and loved Lester's Ark. Horrible Storm that was.. But.. so much better prepared to bug out. Lessons learned from Harvey was at work on this day 4 years ago. Much Love to You Both Lester n Jami, Miss Cat 🥰🐾🐾🥰😻
I love Shirley Byrd 😚❤️. Bless you both for what you do for these beautiful babies.
wow that lightening is really something. i bet you never thought you’d have goats in your kitchen.
I can't believe that Annie went inside the house! Wow you guys did great.
I have been thinking of you all. I’m so happy that this is all you got this time!
Your love is something quite a few of us need to have.
This video popped up & I took the time to watch it again. I just don’t know how you kept it together. I know you were shaky but based on what you’ve been through last time it would be so easy to panic & freak out, justifiably so. But you didn’t - you kept your cool, you were critically thinking, able to narrate calmly and just get it all done. And even with a couple of laughs. I so admire your mental strength! 💕
I have never experienced anything so devastating as y'all have. We do have tornados here but have been lucky. On a hill? Oh my, your entire area is flat. Atlanta has hills. Prayers that the rain waters never ever come near this height again. Ollie is stress eating lol. Now for the clean-up. I send you and Jami happy vibes, calming nerves, and no damage whatsoever. You guys rock! I'm so glad you two found each other. Two earth angels.
FYI - that is not the jitters, it was adrenaline. You were out there in full paternal caretaker mode, as defender of the herd/flock/et al and your body was pumping adrenaline. You were handling it perfectly, no worries. Just realize what's going on in your body and if after the storm has passed it is still flowing you may have to do something.
The rush then the fall.
Olee's stress eating...he's just not sure when he'll get his next snack! 🐷🐷🐷

Ollie is actually a girl. Just saying
I am So Glad that you were able To roundup all of the Bigs & Littles. And That You Were Able To Guide Them To Safety !!
I know the situation must have been Extremely Stressful. !! But, I Know That Lester and Jamie work Well together as a team. I can tell that Lester Truly Loves His Animals, And Jamie Does Too.
I also can tell that all of the animals see them as their Protectors and the animals all Feel Loved , EVERY day rain or shine.
LESTER & JAMIE , AT "IM-A SURVIVOR SANCTUARY ARE WONDERFUL , CARING PEOPLE" !! If I lived in that area I would surely be proud to be their Friend.
OMG, Lester and Jamie you guys were Hero's saved to all your babies... glad you have LHL no where you can move all the animals if you need too in future 😊... most important is families 1st ❤
You should build an Ark! Or something the animals can use to get on higher ground next time this happens, I would totally donate towards it and get everyone I know to donate too..
Like the comic movie Almighty with the Ark / The senators .was Hilarious 😁
Amazing idea, must be super steady though!
They had the trailer.
There are co that sometimes give tons of soil away from nee construction/rd improvements all they need is a dump location. Check with your counties flood control dept . or road projects dept to get addit info.

Love how you love and take care of your animals how you let them in the house when it's flooding .
God bless you all. You’ve been through so much and yet, you keep going.
Thank you!
You guys are wonderful people to do the things you do for your animals ❤️ I love animals and to see you guys love them to makes my heart melt. Jamie and Lester God bless you ❤️❤️
Lester:fly little birds
Me:place them down don’t throw them in the bucket
Yea
Enjoy your videos very much. Wishing you the very best in the days ahead!!
You guys are brave and have loving hearts saving all the animals.
Now, I really don't know about farming so please forgive me-these are just ideas but perhaps you could build a very large but basic simple emergency pavilion at one of those two very highest points on your land near your house. A pavilion that is raised up with a roof and troughs so they can eat and ramps so that even the cows, horses and donkeys have a dry spot in worst case scenarios. Also instead of having to cut fences nxt time after this storm make additional gates leading directly to that high piece of ground with the tree to the right for easy access. Maybe keep a small boat against side of house too. You guys are the best and your animals are so lucky to have you. You take great care of them and they are very loved. Sending positive thoughts and best wishes. Sorry you and yours are having to go through this.💕💕
My heart literally hurts for you watching this video, Lester! I know you are trying to be strong, but inside you have to be a wreck. I cried when I saw you shaking! Bless your heart! God bless you all, and keep you safe!
Obviously I know nothing. But would it be worth working on building a super Higgs ground somewhere around the property near the house ? Like make your own hill that would be a good place for the big animals to stay.
I can’t even imagine going through something like that more than once! The animals are so lucky to have you.
Bless y’all, I’ve been watching your hurricane videos all afternoon 😢
This was a heard video to watch, after knowing about Harvey… I’m so glad you had a place to take all those babies… ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Man I had nooooo idea this happened! Your vids are so amazing
Thank you so much for helping out your neighbours horse
LOVE watching you guys with your babies
Thank you for having such big hearts and big ideas! 💜
A blast from the past! Your anxiety is understandable Lester!
But look what you and Jami did to help them babies. I knew the outcome so I could laugh at you bringing the goats out and they would run back in, only to have you carry them back out again.
Ringi the couch goat! Even Annie Bananie came inside during Imelda. You learned so very much from Harvey, the good, the bad and the tragic, that you had it going on for Imelda. Love y'all so much! You put all your experience into the purchase of LHL. Count your blessings for your, in your words, your Jami Cakes!! A blessing you had no idea was coming your way my friend!♥️
💚💚
I think I found your page after Imelda. I’ve seen this video after that. I think it is amazing how you and JamI were able to get all the animals to safety and how well you worked together. Once I found your page I started watching and just love it. From this page on, I can’t believe all you and Jami have done with the farm and the babies!! I just love this farm,the animals and all the work to keep these babies safe I know where this story goes and so many people will find it inspiring if you stay with it. I know I did!! -😊🙏💕
I saw a video of a guy a few years ago that bought an inflatable dam that he surrounded his house with. I wonder if that would work to protect the immediate house, a small area for the various animals and some supplies.
It's expensive but if enough people donated it could be done.
The problem with those inflatable dams (they are actually filled with water, not air) is that it takes too long to deploy them and they can only be deployed while weather is still fair and ground is dry. I believe it takes like almost 3 days to set up and fill them (great if you know a heavy rainfall far upriver is going to be sending water your way in a week or so and your yard is firm and dry to deploy it, not so much otherwise), and you have to keep water pumps running to pump water that rains on top of your roof out of the dam. Point being, by the time you realize you definitely need this dam, it's usually going to be too late to set it up in time to do any good! I thought about one for my house too, but realized it would very likely be of no value.
Wow! How scary, after you all experienced hurricane Harvey! I have never seen this much rain ☔ Holy mackerel! Glad it all worked out, you all are the best xo
I'm rewatching this for the 3rd time, and my heart still speeds up and pounds even though I know it's all gonna be great the next day. How very proud I am of Lester and Jami for not panicking and just doing what needs to be done to save all the babies and with no help from anyone else. They care so much about their (and our) babies and had to be very scared themselves but remained calm and just followed their disaster plan they had come up with after hurricane Harvey. Everyone was safe, and it was a beautiful testament to who they are-Angels taking care of all the little angels here on earth! Love both of them!💝💝
Looing at the fences and the open fields as they are back then and looking at the fields as they are now, it shows how much fencing work you've done - WOW
I smile every time I see you carry out Shirley bird and she turns right around and goes right back in, but for me the real kicker is seeing Ringo standing on the porch,waiting, you know he would not have normally gone up there he must have been scared, he did not move an inch, he knew that is where you guys come and go. Poor Meg so scared- she had been thru the worst with Harvey and must have thought it was going to happen again. You guys are so brave,. I would have been on the porch with Ringo, or with Annie in the house. I would no more know what to do in that situation. I guess you learn fast what has to be done. I'm just so impressed with you both. Glad everything worked out.
You guys are so amazing......the animals are lucky to have such loving & caring humans. Thank you for everything you do!!!
I haven't seen this before. You and Jami sound so calm. I would be a nervous wreck. God bless you for all you do for your fur/feather family. I hope the new berm will be a relief in times like this.
I think I'm in love with you and Jamie. You do what you have to do. The fact that you opened up your home, has me a lifelong fan. One can always clean, and replace. Those lives are worth everything.
I agree with Nancy Patrick. You have 66K+ subscribers if we all sent 5$ you could build a big barn/or roof only which could house the hay during dry period also.
This was a rewatch for me as I hadn’t figured out RUclips then. Between heart wrenching because we now know why the river did such a drastic overflow and funny as the goats just kept following you into their barn.🤣
This just proves to be grateful for everything!
17:01 "-LEAVE THE DUCKS ALONE!" "BUT I LOVE THEM!"
I love y'all. 😂
Bless you for being so brave and caring for the babies. I live in East Texas also so I know how scary it can be.
Wow!! What a storm! Amazing to see all the changes at iss since this!
May God bless you and your animals forevermore... Amen!
Y’all have come so far since this! Hard work pays off!
Omgoodness I laughed so hard every time you would bring a goat out they would go right back in they just kept doing it over and over and over again 😆
It is their "safe place". They don't know the water will keep rising and turn it into a trap!
Take goat out, following him back. Take the goat out, follows him back. Take the goat out, follows him back. 🤣
why??? i was DRY, you made me WET!!! repeat repeat repeat.
I remember this Lester and Jami it was so scary to watch back then we where all so worried !! So glad this time turned out better than the last time for you all!❤️🙏
I love these people they're God sent .we need more folks like them. May God bless them in every way
Lester and Jami ARC. I AM SO PROUD OF YOU ALL FOR SAVING ALL OF THOSE BABIES LIVES. TAKING THEM INTO YOUR HOME AND DOING WHAT IS NECESSARY. GOD BLESS.
I love these people, my kinda people! I love that they bring all the babies in the house during the storm😍
Watch this every now and then. It's inspiring. 💗💗💗💗 frightening but inspiring. Good on you guys.
Amazing what you did, it's just amazing
It breaks my heart when I see what you all have to go through because of all the flooding and danger to all of you. May God protect you all always. ❤❤❤
Love this whole video!! 2022 and still love
I am just CRYING CRYING CRYING. BABIES OMG. LESTER YOU ARE SO GOOD. I LOVE YOU GUYS
Always careful and take care you, Jaime and the rest of your family. God bless Sir🙏❤
New to your channel so just found these videos, and it is raining. It looks so refreshing seeing you barefoot strolling through the barnyard checking on the babies. Just realized you're close to Houston so you are below sealevel and this is why you flood so easily once the ground gets saturated. I'm sure this is not your first rodeo and this is one of many more to come. I'm enjoying watching very much.
Wow! That was rough. You all did a great job taking care of your animals. I hope they all survived.
Oh my God oh my God I cannot believe it. Wow I don’t know what to say but wow.😮 Lester, you and Jamie are awesome. Awesome people I can’t say it enough. Wow unbelievable
I never saw this one! Don’t know how I missed it! Great coverage. God is good! 🙏❤️✝️🙏🤗
Wow 🙏🏾God bless you. What an amazing family
As a huge fan from the UK I love the thought of flying to Texas and offer to to help ya'll out. Obviously this would be something I'd need to arrange with you guys but my concern is that pretty much everyone is armed! Imagine a stranger with a British accent walking down the wrong driveway. After 10 headshots (to make sure I'm definitely dead) call the cops! Lol.
literal meaning of "god willin' and the creek don't rise"..
No, was stated when Europeans were infiltrating the land of the Creek Natives were fighting for their own safety & land. "GOD willing, if the Creek don't rise".
Your brave walking in water with lightning❤️. You love your babies so much❤️
That's hysterical !!! The critters are probably just nervous an eating helps that. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I don't know how I missed the Run Maggie Run video and remember seeing this one. I remember being worried about Trudy when you all was trying to find her. It's so weird seeing how the farm looked then too. Like it seems like it always looked the way it is now. Amazing really how you all transformed ISS to what it is today
God Bless you all! So scary. Thanks for sharing this video.
Jamie and Lester I seen this video when you all videos this after the storm . It brought so many tears. I've sent prayers 🙏🙏. But still seeing this still hurts me a lot. Don't you wish you had a third of that water now.
Showers of Blessings alright and blessing to yous for the love and dedication to the animals
Odd that this video came up as a suggestion to me just now when all of you are right now preparing for potentially the worse flooding you've faced since Harvey! I've been glued to my laptop looking for updates from various creators and this video popped up. Praying you will get through this new challenge safely as well!
I'm so glad you were home to save them. ❤
