I followed this for a short time on the Internet, pretty scary!
But you're right cat, I often am surprised in the threads of how little interest is shown for some topics especially as important as this!
You don't even need to have an opinion but just a good luck wish wouldn't hurt!
The latest I've seen is it has not let up yet and seems to have stalled.

After listening to the cry babies in New Orleans after Katrina for years I don't really care about storms in that area anymore. People don't learn or what to help each other out. They know the risk of living on the coast. When we get storms there is very little warning and people chip in to help others afterwards,and we get over it. I don't hear a lot about the drought and fires in the Northwest but they are getting thru it. Its not like they are just going to change this storm, its up to the people to understand what they need to do about it.

Ok, what is the situation there now? People still in need of rescue I've seen on the news?

Right now it's stalled and they are expecting more rain and flooding. Could last for several more days. Over 1000 people have been rescued so far and the weather channel is saying three died from the storm.

It's down graded to a Tropical Storm.

Here's the weather channel link

the footage of water accumulation is unreal

No wonder ya'll are tough mofos in Texaland

"When it's floodin down in Texas" Stevie Ray Vaughn played best.

Stevie Ray Vaughn was killed 27 years ago today.

thats here in houston now too... been raining for about 3 days straight, lots of flooding around

Your lucky to have power. They are opening places here in Dallas for victims. How bout the mayor telling everyone to stay home. If I lived in Houston, I'd own a boat.

The news here 07.10am shows pictures of major flooding in Houston, a care home under 3 feet of water and to old residents are still sitting in their chairs!
Take care

yes, but it's not that bad in all areas, where I'm at, nothing is flooded, but mostly around where the rivers and creeks, and areas with bad drainage... it floods the same areas all the time, and the news acts like they've never seen it before... just last year, it flooded about the same, and if you look at the ariel pics from then, you'll see it's always the same areas by the waterways that flood. . That pic with the old folks is a lie, staged for attention.... they would have been the first to be evacuated, the old folks are always first in line...

I can't speak for others but speaking for myself...I am in Texas and have loved ones in the hurricane area. I am in it in real life. I don't need to discuss it here.

Thanks moe, the media only show the bad bits as usual. Was it bush with the saying "shock and ore " media like to "shock and blame "
The little old ladies did look a bit bad sitting in there chairs, water up to there boobies!

I have family in Houston who are thankfully fine. Acts of nature happen all over the world and we have to endure them the best we can.

Mikey comes into the room carefully :
I think some on here would like to know how you're doing though?

the media just shows the worst of the worst, buts not all bad... but it is bad for a lot of folks here .. glad your family is ok

I never said others wouldn't be concerned. I was speaking for myself amd my family. All we hear is about the storm, we keep checking on loved ones and are following it intensively. I was referring to why others aren't concerned. Not those that post

Not sure about the eye rolling though.

Yes, I understand that. Think we went through the concern of others in other posts. I was speaking for those who have posted really. I like to hear about it. not that anyone can actually do anything but it's on our mind
I was looking around the room with the eye rolling making sure it's ok
