God help texas

Glorious E thanks for the love I have not flooded yet.

+Jordy Lunkhead Verrill indeed

O great dark lord Satan, please rescue the people of Texas from this great flood sent by Jesus the Deceiver, so that they may know the glorious power of your infernal majesty!

"prayers to texas" (feels good for saying that) (actually does nothing to help)

getfitafter50 ..prayers are real help...God Bless Maranatha Speed The Day

Neil Anderson , you are a Republican right? No one else would be that cold and heartless.

Olaide Ayeni What do you expect from a prayer? Makes you look bad, talking to yourself you know...

Tammy Goulet Apparently they learned nothing, no ordering and helping people evacuate seems lame.

No. And No.

Lib Rom You live here in Houston? Didn't think so. We're doing great! Better than anyone could hope for under these circumstances.

Chantina Dejesus well if they're waiting for god to help,they better not hold their breath!!!!!!

God is fake.

Mika Korhonen you is fake. Lol

Marchoupi your'e funny 😁damn!!

Marchoupi Funny! I hooe Danold Trump is laughing

cindy clarke It happened long time ago... climate change has been around since the dinosaur age!

Lib Rom "This was passed on by my friend Pat Rosenberg, a real civic leader in Houston. This is interesting. Cort Murray Things non-Houstonians need to understand: 1. The streets and many of the public parks here are designed to flood. We sit just 35 feet above sea level, and most of the city is as flat as a pool table. We average about 50 inches of rain a year. The streets and parks serve as temporary retention ponds, accommodating slow, steady drainage through our bayous. 2. We average about 50 inches of rain a year, but in the last 48 hours, many areas of greater Houston received 25 to 30 inches of rain. That's six to nine month's worth of rain, in two days. The drainage system, which works well in normal conditions, was overwhelmed. Officials are calling this an "800 year flood": that means there was a one in 800 chance of its occurrence. Even with advance notice, there was little means of preparing for this. 3. It is impossible to evacuate a city the size of Houston. Harris County is 1700+ square miles, with a population of 6.5 million people. How do you evacuate 6.5 million people? During the hours leading to Hurricane Rita's landfall, tens of thousands of Houstonians attempted evacuation. The traffic jams lasted for days. One hundred people died. So far, six Houstonians have died in Hurricane Harvey, all of them (as far as I have heard) drowned in their automobiles. For more than a decade, the local mantra has been "shelter in place and hunker down." That's hard, but it's the right approach. 4. Some outsiders are treating this disaster with schadenfreude: Texans helped elect an anti-big government president, and now we're going to need big government help. Houston is the bluest spot in Texas, and voted Clinton in 2016. Suggesting this is karmic payback for backing Trump is as inaccurate (and offensive) as Pat Robertson's suggestion that Hurricane Katrina was God smiting sinners. We really aren't thinking Red or Blue right now. We are taking a royal beating, all of us. Disasters don't care about ideology. 5. You are going to feel this. Gas prices are going to skyrocket. Oil refined products, everything from PVC pipe to dry cleaning fluid, will rise in price. The stock market will take a hit. New Orleans is a fantastic city, but it's not a major economic force. Houston is the center of the nation's energy industry. It's home to dozens of Fortune 500 companies. And 85% of it is under water. It may be this way for weeks. The aftermath of Katrina captured the world's attention. The aftermath of Harvey is going to grab you by the lapels, and shake you 'til you're cross eyed."

Cole Tanner The problem is, we already have infrastructure in place that is meant for flooding situations. Houston has multiple bayous, creeks, rivers and reservoirs, not to mention numerous retention ponds in newer neighborhoods. Nonetheless, if one bayou floods, then all the surrounding streets and homes get flooded. Perhaps a pump or vacuum of some sort could more effectively move water to the gulf, thus relieving the major resivoirs.

You can not safely, nor efficiently evacuate millions of people in a day or two. It would have ended up with hundreds of thousands of people stuck on roads in the middle of the storm, which would have been infinitely worse.

polok890 you know I was just thinking that 😁!!

Invigorate and yeah when god get back from 7-eleven he'll get right on it😂😂😂😂!!!

Houston has never had a Mayor Taylor

You might be right

Better than the delusional global warming comments

Zao Medong Same stupidity.

D'Ascoyne ,are you not religious?

LOL you don't have to bring religion into this. Peoples lives are at stake

KIMOCHI 気持ち Yeah but people think prayers will help ffs

Ikenna Iteogu Official "After taxes it's just a tired run down feeling".

Ikenna Iteogu Official I just don't understand how when things like this happens we're so quick to say God had something to do with it. Why is it that he always shows up here when babies being murder all the time and millions all over daily dying of hunger but some how he never shows up? ijs

And people have lost homes and jobs. People will be displaced for months, even years. Communities are destroyed and may never recover. Yes, it is catastrophic.

What about the lives lost? The children traumatized? Their memories, their family members missing. I was only able to get my mother air rescued an hour ago thank god. Shame on you.

Hannah Mellesmoen AMEN

No.

Hannah Mellesmoen Jesus Christ will help👌

Lol all your skydaddys are fake

oscar F kinda like you? LOL

getfitafter50 115 in Palm Springs !!

Are you suggesting God is punishing black people in Houston?

It's so sunny in Cali it's burning lol

getfitafter50 lolol how you liking the high and dry heat? Crispy yet?

Tony Cole REALLY!!...how stupid!!

Frederick Giordani Still not so sure on that one. Not every home got 4 feet of water. 7 million residents on flooding roads in low visibility conditions would have been dangerous and unnecessary.

We tried to evacuate for Rita, the traffic jam lasted days and people died. That would have been the worst thing to do, would have had millions of people sitting in their cars with no where to go when the flooding started. Almost 7 million people live in the Houston area, you can’t evacuate that.
