COLUMBIA, MO. • Six Missouri players are from Houston or the surrounding areas that have been impacted by Hurricane Harvey, including star receiver J’Mon Moore, whose mother, Betty Jones-Moore, lives in Missouri City, Texas.
Her house has taken on some water, but as of Tuesday she wasn’t going anywhere.
“My mom was told to evacuate but she’s not leaving the house, so she’s just going to hold it down,” Moore said after Tuesday's practice. “They’re just fighting through it. I’ve got some friends going over and checking on my mom. It’s a good deal.”
Missouri City is part of the nine-county metro Houston area and located in Fort Bend County, where there had been 5,000 rescues of flood victims as of Tuesday, according to the town’s website.
