This is a thread to talk about what is happening.

It’s not propaganda.

AF1 can land at any of a number of Texas AFB’s, then take Marine One to his destination

Few black people engage in boating activities, and fewer than whites are able to swim. Are you saying the boats arriving fairly quickly are owned by white supremicists? And the mayor actually asked for help from “white supremicists”, by label?

you can see the pivot point over Harris county where the storms start to turn west

if Harvey moves more east southern Harris county may Geta break

more south...more rain as mid level flow over runs the boundary I talked about yesterday

“It” is not happening, and that photo is being used for propaganda. The people were rescued many, many hours ago. Don’t come in here and post old rehash.

Adding an escape hatch to a roof is easily doable without shorting the integrity of the structure. The hard part is getting a bank to finance the house that is built in an area where you might need such a hatch. Or an insurance company to cover.

I have done water rescues on people when we were up to our waists in the house and the lights were still on. Yes there was concern but we were just trying to get people out ASAP.

My sarcastic remark was to demonstrate that most of us get along....black or white. The national press and poverty pimps and leftist politicians have created a fiction as demonstrated by the mayor and those who helped.....black or white. I am expressly NOT saying they were white supremacists and that it is a simple example of neighbor helping neighbor.

I love the expression on the hawk: "I ain't flying back out there, you fly back out there!"

In the late 1970s my late husband and I bought an eleven room townhouse in an almost all black neighborhood in an urban area for $21,000. My husband was a tough ex Army officer and he used to chat with local numbers man about math and other things. One day the guy came up to me and said he had hauled my kids off a dumpster they were trying to crawl into. I thanked him profusely and gave the kids a good scolding. Twenty years later I ran into the guy at a Subway shop, and we sat down and reminisced about the old days in that neighborhood. Turns out he was a college graduate. You just never know.

First, DON’T YOU EVER TELL ME what to do, post, etc.... I am not your ex beta-cuck husband that you walked all over.

Second, this is a discussion thread about the hurricane!

Did this really just happen? Answer, Yes and it’s why I posted it! To show the devastation and you some how think this is a political attack on President Trump?

You obviously do not understand the difference between a live discussion thread about an active event and enemy propaganda.

Here is the National Weather Service radar loop I pulled up 10 minutes ago. The storm has lengthened all the way to New Orleans, and if you click to the left it is extended farther south along Texas coast land. All that warm Caribbean water evaporating and coming down. Hope the global warming people are wrong, since warmer water sends more rain. Scarey.
