After Katrina hit I heed the warnings now.Jason P said:My uncle lived in Rockport where the eye hit. He didn't leave because the last one that they hyped he took his RV inland and was in a tornado storm while the coast took little damage. Anywho, got a text Saturday that the town had been leveled and he was going to try to move inland but have not heard back from him since then.
I hope your uncle is ok.0 -
Shit. Well at least you heard from him after the town was leveled, so you know he wasn't leveled along with it. Hope he's dealing with things okay! I imagine it will be a long hard road back to normalcy for a lot of people affected. Floods are just so fucking devastating.Jason P said:My uncle lived in Rockport where the eye hit.

It's a horribly designed city, but proponents will tell you about the affordable housing and sketchy zoning laws.JC29856 said:everybody makes money on urban sprawl, then more on rebuild. water has nowhere to go except on streets and in homes.

I didn't take the photo as politicizing or offensive, stuckinline. I found it sad as well. My Mom was in a home like that one. Even though she's been gone over 13 years now I thought of her when I saw that photo and realized, shit, this is terribly sad. This is someones mom. No, I was not offended at all.stuckinline said:
I agree, I did not intent to politicize this horrible situation. The photo I posted made me so very sad. Sorry if it offended anyone.pjhawks said:too early to politicize this. those people in that region are suffering a monumental event that won't let up for 3 or 4 more days. Let's worry and give our thoughts to those people first before politicizing. it's a horrible situation.

Has Canada jettisoned their environmental regulations? Gutted their equivalent of the EPA?JC29856 said:

Terrible! What a nightmare for those folks,JC29856 said:http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2017/08/climatedesk-theres-an-unbearable-chemical-smell-hovering-over-parts-of-houston-and-experts-are-worried/

It seems like we have at least learned a little something in the response to this. Only 10 dead so far is pretty insane, though there are many many more to come, once the waters recede and they can go door to door. A glimmer of positivity. So many pictures of amazing humanity of folks helping other folks.
But yeah, development is an issue

I will be donating to this fundraiser by Houston Texans superstar JJ Watt.
I'll encourage you to do the same.

Disgusting. If there were a hell, people who do this would go there. I know that's against the law in Texas, but who the hell is available to enforce that right now?JC29856 said:
