Osteen using armed guards to block survivors' access to donations

Search on youtube for adviseshow on Osteen. They've posted cell-phone videos of church corridors lined with bins and boxes filled with donated supplies.

I never heard of this group before and have no idea how reliable they are.

I wonder how many of Osteen's church members have been flooded out. I read Osteen lives in River Oaks, the area where Rice is located. A video of the campus I saw early on showed a bit of flooding.

Rice is south/east of Highway 59/69. In fact, River Oaks is north of Westheimer, which is north of Hwy 59/69.

I would lump Rice University in with West University Place. Or maybe even Bellaire, considering the division by major thoroughfares.

On Edit: Lakewood Church is just south of River Oaks.

I think I was told that if we walked across the street from Jones College we would be in River Oaks, with private streets and where Oveta Culp Hobby lived,

southern boundary.

That's several big roads to cross, with smaller streets between, Bissonett, the 610 loop, etc

Maybe you are thinking of Boulevard Oaks?
