Great post—thank you!
It was VERY interesting watching the local ABC13 coverage / news, at (IIRC) 5 pm today, followed by ABC National News. ABC13was showing a great many things, but overall with a take that the worst was over, at least in terms of ongoing flooding, and that in some areas, cleanup was already in progress.
The National Newscast was totally sensationalized - you’d think SE Texas had been demolished by scores of large nukes. Or, maybe it was Atlantis, fait accompli.
