"Built to withstand a category 5 hurricane" *gets destroyed by category 4 hurricane*

Heartbreaking. I hope they recover fully

The reporters standing in the wind are just plain ridiculous. we can get the idea looking through a window. Until one of these dorks gets their head cut off on camera by fyling debris, this will continue I suppose.

Ugh. In the midst of one of the most destructive hurricanes this year all people can think about is their stupid political affiliations. If people wonder what's wrong with America today, this has to be it.

Houston is the 4th largest city in The USA. Have y'all ever seen 26 million people trying to evacuate a city in 3 days? 4 days? They did ask for voluntary evacuations from certain areas and mandatory in others. They have used Houston metro to get people out. Where were that many people going to go? That storm was enormous!! Half of Texas is flooded. It's devastating, but were Texans!! We will survive, rebuild and be stronger for it. We may have to rebuild like a new Venice, but we will make it through.

"Why didn't you evacuate?" "We just didn't have the money."

Heartbreaking to see such devastation from across the pond. Stay safe, Texas, as well as other states affected! Much love from the UK. 💓

No earthquakes No Hurricanes No tornados No drive-bys No Incoming nukes No mud slides No planes hitting buildings..Remember that guy you told "Canada is America's Hat?" ..it's a dry one Eh?

God bless everyone who's going through hurricane Harvey time to come together as a community and help each other

Please keep Texas in your prayers, lets lift up those who are going through such a difficult time.

It's is such a relief that red cross step in. But to rebuild the town and damages is a lot.

And they still build houses from cardboard... Nothing without a good old brick and concrete.

Start a Mud Army! I live in Brisbane, Australia. About a million and a half people. The last flood we had, which looks like Austin at the moment, the city council asked ordinary people to lend a hand. The response was overwhelming. "We became The Mud Army. So many people who hadn't been hit badly got buckets, spades, tools, brooms mops etc and the council ferried them on buses to the worst hit areas. The worked alongside the army and the council workers with the heavier equipment. Others made sandwiches, and coffee. Others opened their homes to those who no longer had one. If you were injured helping out, you got free medical care. It was a massive success. Nearly everyone pitched in. Instead of expecting the city councils and army to do everything pitch in and lend a hand. Ask how you can help.

It's stupid to believe you could evacuate hundreds of thousands of people and no one get killed from flooded cars.

Blessings to Texans and all involved to be safe, dry and well - from Australia.

I'm so glad we don't have hurricanes near where we live.

Prayers to the families! And Texas!!! 😮😮😮😮

Went through hurricane Hugo in 1989......the noise from the winds is something I'll never forget. Mother Nature is not to be played with.

I was born in Houston and lived in it till i was 4 year old before we go back home 😭 i will keep Texas in my prayers .

I live 15 minutes away from Rockport in a town called Portland TX and my house is basically gone. It's like a surreal out of body experience or something. I have insurance but I've lost so many irreplaceable things, I'm just glad my family and pets all evacuated and survived.

I swear. I thought Hurricane Matthew was bad, it flooded half of my home state of North Carolina, and now we are having Harvey. I was in my dorm for 3 hours before we were all encouraged to evacuate (later we were forced to evacuate).

Man this is so sad,. God bless and hopefully they can recover quickly

Im praying for ya'll, God Bless all of you.💖🌟💫

Heartbreaking. I hope they recover fully....and Please..God..Stop it raining...

🎶 In the eye of a hurricane, there is quiet. For just a moment. A yellow sky 🎶

Its so heartbreaking to see your entire city flooded and destroyed and here in Houston we were so luck to come out not flooded

I'm a truck driver and I had a load from Washington to Florida keys I have no idea if it was even close but I'm in Nebraska right now on my way home

I woke up at 4AM Thursday and packed up to leave. We monitored this storm and it was an easy decision to leave. Left at 2PM same day. Estimated to be 40 to 60% of the residents stayed in Rockport. On a side note, the linemen are all supermen.

wow... prayers for people

Prayers for Texas.

The amount of hate twords one another in the comments is disgusting. Here we should be thankful to be alive yet heartbroken for others and all some people can do is take shots at other via KZfaq. My prayers for everyone affected by the storm and prayers for all the bitter rude selfish people who would want help but don't want to give it.

Wonder if i could fly a kit in that kind of weather there i always liked box kits they was my favorite...

I guess you could say...Houston, you have a problem hue hue

When the woman said that they didn't have the money to leave, that broke my heart. They couldn't leave because they didn't have the money but now they don't have a home and no money to rebuild. That would be me and my family but it's so sad to know that other people have to go through worse. When Maryland got that tornado on the Eastern shore I almost cried because I live in Maryland and I never thought that could happen here. Then to see Texis like this hurts even more. I want to help them so bad but I just can't 😭😭😭

I live in San Antonio and I gotta say that me and my family dodged a major bullet! We only had light rain and some gust.

Unnelievable how devasting hurricane Harvey is.

is this Austin?

im glad im moving out of Texas next week

Texas:We had the worst hurricane recorded in history! Miami:Hold my beer....

My heart goes out to all those affected by this horrible storm. I just said a prayer for all the victims and their families. May the God of all comfort be with you in this scary time (2 Cor 1:3,4)

I feel so bad..

I'm a young adult and I don't know what I can do to help, where can I send my care packages to? Thanks in advance 🙂

I live here in Houston.didnt leave because the eye of the storm wasnt coming at us.Houstonians deal with tropical storms, floods, n hurricanes every hurricane season.Secondly, the mayor told us to not evacuate.Flood waters reached record levels super super fast and by then most ppl were flooded in.I currently am.So far my home hasnt taken any water and I parked my car in a parking garage on level 5 so I am ok so far..Still raining here and everything is flooded around me.No stores open at all and I running low on food..

This is so sad wow prayers for Texas ❤

I recall this article saying its forbidden to feed the homeless in the US....

I can't believe what I'm reading as I am scrolling through these comments right now. I am from Houston and I just found out today that my house is flooded and completely underwater. If you have the audacity to make jokes about something that serious then you obviously have never been through any kind of devastating event like this. Shame on you. People are losing their homes and even their loved ones so before you make some kind of horrible comment why don't you put yourself in their shoes? I promise you you won't be laughing then. God bless Texas.

Yes, I question areas known for floods and tornados/high winds and will still not prepare and each home built with wood and materials not for this weather. Nor having each county always prepared for their own county needs

Better than watching any action movie!

Those who evacuated well before the hurricane hit were a minority. Those were the people who left everything behind as soon as buses were available to transport them out of the zone. Most people hit the road in a rush, after they had wasted time packing as much as they could. Then there would be massive traffic jam added to their confusion. It happens every time a devastating storm is approaching.

How can we make sure that these cars will NEVER be sold as normal? After everyone is safe, this needs to be an official federal government priority.

Now that is a room with a view

11 Trillion gallons of water is 28% of Lake Tahoe. That is ALOT of water!

Literally there are helicopters flying over my neighborhood rescuing people from flooded houses

So many rude and dumb comments! Blah blah blah. Advise is free because it's worth nothing

I can't believe they didn't cut the power off those power lines hours before the eye hit... Isn't it standard procedure there to cut power before these massive hurricanes hit?

My heart is with the people of Texas tonight .

"Why didn't you evacuate?" Where's the fleet of buses? How fast could that fleet of buses, drive out of harm's way? ?

it's so sad to see all this CATASTROPHIC damage. we us Americans, need to HELP one another.. GOD BLESS THOSE who are in NEED.. let's all get together, & HELP OUT...

Why when declaring the emergency, not forcing the evacuating and cutting all power sources ?

0:56 The Blue Shed!

I feel bad,everyone was making fun my brother almost drowned in that flood.#prayfortexas I'm glad we didn't move there this year.

Very sad lots of peoplel lost their home,and is not over yet

Welcome to what is going to be your future. Respect the environment.

Things would be better if everyone had just left. Saving people in trouble is so hard.

Why give a deadly hurricane such a friendly name

In a twinkling of an eye, you can loose everything. Set your heights on things above...

What a mess. Houses in the US are clearly not more than some wooden plates nailed together. That doesn't help less damage :-( Hope all people there will get back to normal lives soon.

Texans are strong people and will gather together to get this cleaned up.

It makes me so sad to know they have to rebuild everything now

Hopefully every state helps them rebuild their structures and businesses.

poor dude died in a house fire in the middle of a HURRICANE.

I will pray for Houston Texas . they have everything on the internet saying help them help them but when Hurricane Katrina came no one helped us people in New Orleans what understand what I'm saying other people won't

I saw too many flimsy and poorly thought out building construction materials used in this and other videos. Build solid, avoid future wide spread damage. Surely there are building methods available that can be adopted in these areas that can withstand high winds? I mean these buildings pose a threat to life when ripped off and thrown around!

Houston, we have a problem!

"We just didn't have the money" heartbreaking.

Money truly gives u safety in a storm it's sad

The only good thing about hurricanes is that it makes it impossible for Kim Jong-Un to aim his doomsday missile.

Build spherical houses, they are hurricane proof. Nothing for the wind to catch onto

Didn't have the money? There were free buses to move people out. And, the evacuation shelters are free as well. Not having the money is't a reason.

that's messed up 😲😖🤕😢

All the flooding reminds me of what happened to Louisiana a year ago

CNN will no doubt blame Donald Trump for the hurricane.

this was on my bday yay

Tapl?

Most of the houses were not built for this kind of weather.

Sir, You put your camera at the right place. Everything but the show hey ? the show, THE SHOW THE SHOW THE SHOW THE SHOW THE RATINGS THE MONEY THE FAME THE SHOW. Well, Sir , you got my point.

I lived there at the time

Dam

What about the BUSH's properties???

NO REPORT OF THE LOOTING??????

I was in that hurricane 😢

Major networks keep repeating old news. The social media give you news as it is breaking, often provided by amateurs.

Why allways greenscreens?

watch out if a second hurricane shows up next month.

I totally agree with you..they NEED TO build STRONGER home's LIKE Puerto Rico... NO More wooden home's.. concrete IS the WAY to GO!!

i m loving it

And not only do they still build new houses just with wood, they don't screw it together but just use nails. Its cheap, fast and looks good from a distance. But as soon as a little wind comes up, its all gone. And then all those who are strictly against regulations, because regulations are all bad, then beg for help from the government if they've lost everything. Having that said, its still sad to see people standing in the ruins of their existence. I hope they will get help to start over.

Don’t be sad! Because God sends hope in the most desperate moments.

Do these people have any insurance? if they have, so do they will build their house again in the old land?

hope my friend Mouse is ok she lives in Texas
