Hurricane Harvey

[JohnTRourke]

50 (fifty) inches of rain expected

that's 4 feet

that's insane

[Gman]

Alvin, TX holds the US record for the most rainfall in a 24-hour period (tropical storm Claudette, 7-25-79, 43 inches). This isn't a new phenomenon, just the most recent. I lived in Houston for a while and later Spring, TX in my yoot.

Was just reading that it's estimated 52% of the damage will be uninsured, since many residents don't live in "federally designated flood zones".

Prayers go out to those folks.

I'm surprised. I thought everything was bigger in Texas.

I'm sick of these idiots that think history began on the day they were born ... Galveston 1900 motherfucker ... six to twelve THOUSAND dead ... sheesh.

I know, right?

wtf?

Having grown up and lived the first 28 years of my life just southeast Houston I can tell you events like this aren't as big of a deal to the people living there as they are to the outside world. It's not like the people living down there aren't aware that this type thing happens. If you live anywhere along the coast anywhere on the Gulf of Mexico or the southeast coast of the Atlantic Ocean you can expect this sort thing. Just like earthquakes in California or blizzards in the northeast. Just part of life.

I feel for those that are on their rooftops waving for help. I really do and I hope they get help.

But WTF are you doing there, you asshole? It's 2017, not 1900, so you knew this was coming. It's not like it a was big surprise. If you listened to the Mayor and stayed put, you're a moron. Katrina anyone?

I don't wish harm on any of these people, but come on man...TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF and get the fuck out of there BEFORE you need to be rescued. Jeeeeeeeez.

I bet StagLefty wouldn't have any problem selling his belly boat in Houston.
