Huge storm, yes. Unprecedented? No.
Every one who wants government handouts should head to New Orleans in a reverse migration.
“Rains”?
What’s with the plural?
From Katy, tx west of Houston.
This is a very tough situation in the Houston area.
Genuine sorrow for lost lives and homes.
But this weather stuff is part of the design for earth, on god’s spinning mud ball.
Or in other words, “It is what it is.”
I think this is NWS-speak for significant loss of life. It is hard to see how that will not be the case, unfortunately.
About 2,000 rescues. And we still have two or three days to go.
Prayers would be much appreciated.
Trump’s fault!
The White House bungled their response to Hurricane Harvey, allowing the storm to stall over a major city!
Women and minorities hardest hit!
A list of moderate totalitarian leftists is calling for President Trump’s impeachment!
This atrocity will finally spell the final end of Trump’s bumpy political career - peak Trump!
[Those points probably will be the highlights of tonight’s news.]
The Galveston Flood hurricane of 1900 killed between 6 and 12,000 people and wasted Galveston. is that precedent enough? how about over 1200 in Katrina which flooded out New Orleans.
On aug 24th there was a prediction of 50 inches of rain.
Did anyone in media..politics or weatherman predict it publicly as early as Thursday
I was watching the weather channel earlier when they announced the NWS message, they were pretty shocked and at a loss for words.
The thing I have noticed it’s neighbor helping neighbor, anyone with a kayak or anything larger is out rescuing people. I have also not heard one report of looting imagine that.
Huge storm, yes. Unprecedented? No.
How many storms of the century can there be in one century? In one decade, even?
One of my boys is in Houson. First thing he did was park in the highest spot in his apartments garage.
I told him “Park high, wade low” by analogy to the conditioning saying, “Train high, sleep low.”
Thus, their history is in their sheltered snowflake lifetime.
This is going to be so Trump’s fault, it will be unprecedented.
I’m in San Antonio for my niece’s graduation from USAF basic training. There has been just light rain and moderate wind the past few days. Unfortunately, they have restricted all new airmen to base because of the uncertainty. All these airmen and their families are crammed into the BX complex and movie theater because there is nothing else to do. About an hour wait in line at Starbucks yesterday AM. Still better than being in Houston right now. P.S. Why do they have the anti-American CNN on the tv at the on base Burger King???
The entire Texas coast for miles inland is a "Floodplain"FLOOD
PLAIN
It became a "FLOODPLAIN" because it regularly floods over geological time. And it floods because of tropical storms including hurricanes.
The remnant of hurricane Irene was stalled for days over parts of upstate New York and that was bad enough. I can’t even imagine this.
Prayers up.
Have they blamed Trump yet?
