Hurricane Harvey

RE: Hurricane Harvey
City sewage is overflowing so we broke down and bought a few cases of bottled water. I've never done that for any other hurricane here. Also, everything is closed tomorrow so we get to sit around and watch it rain.
Everything I needed to know about life I learned on Dagobah.

RE: Hurricane Harvey
Dear Texas,

Remember, you voted for him.

Quote:Trump struck down Obama’s flood risk regulations two weeks before Harvey

Quote:Trump’s decision to roll back the Federal Flood Risk Management Standard was praised by business groups including the National Association of Home Builders, who felt flood regulations had pushed up the cost of housing, but faced criticism from environmental groups, Reuters reported.
Former director of public affairs at the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Rafael Lemaitre told the news service at the time that Trump was undoing "the most significant action taken in a generation" to protect infrastructure from climate change.
"Eliminating this requirement is self-defeating; we can either build smarter now, or put taxpayers on the hook to pay exponentially more when it floods. And it will," he added.

And it is.

I specifically voted for the other person on the ballot.

So did Houston.

I'm sure you ain't pollutin that much during the storm. This should all be clean gulf evaporate by now. 

Plus what's a little toxin when you're facing dehydration and death. 

Live Man, Live!!!!

I hope everyone in Texas, apart from the extremist Republicans, come through unscathed and safe.

RE: Hurricane Harvey
Not sure why we are making this about politics when people's lives are on the line and their homes being destroyed. In times like these, it's best to remember that we are all human rather than concern ourselves over who voted for who.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
