It is probably safe to say this might be far worse than Katrina. Houston is being destroyed. I can say with authority that any wooden structure with a foot or two of water darn near a total loss. I bet this is half of the city.

Last night we had 3 tornados within 4 miles of the house. Puts a Texas on edge.

They will never use the term, “Biblical.”

Though maybe they will if they see some guy with a beard loading pairs of animals on a large wooden boat. :>)

The MSM over-hypes every major weather event in the Northeast because 90% of the MSM lives in the NYC or D.C. metro areas. Hurricane Sandy was one of the few weather events of the last decade that actually lived up to the media hype.

Glad to see those people were picked up. Ridiculous. It seemed like nobody realized how bad this was going to be.

That’s another aspect of Harvey that is somewhat unprecedented...the period of time that Houston has been under a Tornado Watch and will likely go through tomorrow. A storm that is inland , but stationary but continues to be fueled by moisture from the Gulf that keeps it going! From a meteorological perspective, this is one for the history books.

What did Trump and the Russians know and when did they know it?

Good map. Nice snag. Thanks.

I think the media likes to inflate the significance, to help the locals feel better about the situation. If you think you’ve just gone through something worse than anyone else, you’ve at least got that. To hear it’s no worse than other storms kind of reduces the pity-me argument.

I don’t say this to delegitimize the significance of the personal loss down there. It’s a sad thing to see others in trouble. My observation simply addresses a psychological mindset.

The folks down there know this is part of the deal when they live on/near the coast in hurricane alley (so to speak).

These events can put a massive dent in the insurance pool. I have mixed thoughts on the massive exposure to loss, by choice.

I’ve never seen a storm the nation has been better prepared for - nor a President offering more leadership and support to those in the storm’s dreaded path

The amount of water that has been brought in from the Gulf is stunning.

We’re supposed to be getting a lot of rain tonight. I hope the bayou behind the house can handle the load.

Just got

That’s mighty mature of you to say while we have FR folks down in TX going through this hell as we speak. Mind you, this extends well away from Houston...what a sick response.
