3 Martino sisters safe from Harvey

Janice Hoffman, Class of 1967, who lives in Salem, Virginia, reached Joette Martino Bowie, Class of 1967, who lives in Spring, Texas, 25 miles north of Houston, and reports that “she and Ron are staying home and safe.”

Joette’s reaction: “We are good, as are all our families. The rain has been unreal and is still coming down.”

“All our families” includes Joetta’s sisters, Karen Jo and Suzanne, who also live in the Houston area hit by Hurricane Harvey’s heavy, horrific rainfall that has turned streets into rivers in southeastern Texas.

The sisters are daughters of Joe and Virginia Martino. Another daughter, Toni, lives in Fairmont.

Gerald Pulice, Class of 1974, is keeping a close eye on the Martino sisters. They are his cousins.

Anthony Pulice, Jr., Class of 1945, is Joe and Virginia's cousin.

Previously, Janet Duncil Skarzenski, Class of 1966, wrote:

“All good at our place (Cypress area, where a tornado touched down briefly). My oldest son & family are also good (I-610 & Eldridge area of Houston). My daughter & family live near Brazoria and had to evacuate but are safe.”

On Tuesday, August 29, Jan posted:

“So much better-looking today. Rain is little to nothing. It almost makes me feel like the sun is out.

“We are fine. The reservoirs (that were breached by the floodwaters) are more south of us. We personally have not lost power through any of this. Street flooding, yes but we did not get any water in the house. Our street appears to have been spared as far as I can see."

Carmella Catania Allard, Class of 1947, who lives in San Antonio, 150 miles from the Rockfort landfall of Harvey, writes her sister, Mary Catania Heywood, Class of 1945, who lives in Covina, California, reports:

“Thankfully for Carmella and her family in San Antonio and Austin they have not had any problems.”
