My M1078A1 and M1084A1 helping out after Harvey

I had the opportunity to use the beasts with the Hurricane Harvey relief effort. The Rockier Volunteer Fire Department was fearful we showed up. The M1084A1 with its Material Handling Equipment was indispensable being able to move various heavy objects to clear paths for first responder and search and rescue. The M1078A1 with its high top speed crew AC and troop seats made for a capable fuel/personnel vehicle. Communication in the area was non existent which resulted in trips from the work area to the firehouse. The region was all but obliterated by the winds and storm surge.

I intend to as soon as I get decent internet. I only have my cell phone right now no internet at shop or home and photo upload doesn't seem to work from the mobile site.

If you do any deep fording don't forget to check all the fluids as soon as practical for contamination.

Good luck out there. Don't forget to get some sleep, either.
