Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I thoroughly dislike the city of Houston, this is simply one more reason for me to stay far away from it. Hopefully, a lot of Houstonites will start agreeing. How many 100 year/500 year floods do they have to go through in one decade before they start thinking, "Maybe I should move."
The local police force here was disgusted with a few people that needed to be saved this last weekend because they tried to drive on roads with water going over them. I'm starting to think the same thing about people that continue living in this death trap. This is all going to happen again soon.
And yeah, I know a lot of people "can't afford to move". But I've heard so many stories of immigrants moving to America with only a few dollars in their pocket, that I'm pretty sure I'd find a way somehow. This is a clearly foreseen tragedy. You just can't pack that many people there and not expect this to keep happening. Until they start putting massive public works in place to protect that area, get the fuck out.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Shit, y'all are freakin' me out and I'm starting to think the Cascadia quake is now bound to happen as soon I go into surgery...
Phew, deep breaths, that's incredibly unlikely to happen...
I heard on NPR this morning that Harvey made landfall again in Louisiana and that it might trigger tornadoes in Louisiana, Missouri and Arkansas

Geesh. And I'm right up here across from Texarkana. Last month I kept having recurrent nightmares about being caught in a tornado. But I'm not superstitious. My dreams often come true but they're never as bad in real life as in the dreams.
