Asking for help for her friends in Dickinson, three ladies, one of whom is 97.

The communities are wonderful ♥️

Social Media really has helped, if not saved, so many people.

Next time before someone complains about 'today's technology',

I hope they reflect upon all these Twitter/Facebook posts

during this time.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT! @sidsmom

Word is out already that the ladies have been rescued. Audra has more than 193,000 followers. It IS amazing how social media can help.

@Noel7 @sidsmom

DD gets onto me because I believe in informing people. In the process sometimes people misinterpret (they don't fully READ) my posts and think that I am in the middle of the storm.

'Oh well, the more information that is spread, the better.

If I were sitting on a rooftop, waiting to be rescued, I doubt very seriously that I would be chatting on FB.

So I feel I am helping by informing.

If more people were aware of the detailed dangers of staying during a bad hurricane, perhaps more would be saved.

Hi @LTT1

They aren't chatting.

They are sending out desperate calls for help and both strangers and neighbors are rushing to help them.

I would use any platform that works!

During the tornado super outbreak in 2011, we found out we couldn't make calls on our cells phones but texting worked.

I used Twitter and Facebook very little back then but if i needed help and I still had some charge on my phone I would use anything possible to either get rescued myself or try to get my family rescued.

Bless Audra and prayers up for Texas

"Amen" to that, @sidsmom and @Noel7.

Prayers for all who are in peril and for all who are offering a helping hand.❤️

Social Media is working to rescue people. They are not sitting there chatting it is being used to alert the authorities as to where they are

Most people don't condemn all social media but simply point out that it is misused by and abused by so many that it is significant and not a positive asset to life when used that way or in excesses that cause neglect in other aspects of one's life.

Like most things in life, it is not all bad, and it is not all good. Sing it's praises where appropriate, but don't defend it's evils or abuses either.

Say what?

I have to wonder where this came from. I don't see anyone defending evils.

In fact, I saw this story as a good woman using her connections to save lives. The rest is crazy talk, imo.
