I wish there was wormhole technology to funnel the water away from Houston and into California's reserviors. It's such a shame that some places can be hurt by too much water and others by too little.

So far. This shit isnt over. Now the rivers become the issue. I am by a major river that is supposed to crest Saturday. It could easily flood my entire neighborhood. All , or most of the flooding you see on the news is above me. At dome point that has to flow down through me and to the gulf.

Crap! Hoping for the best for you and your neighbors!

Actually, riverman, Obama was helping with relief during Katrina...

Apparently mediocre man considers it OK for Trump to use cover of hurricane to overrule equal pay and overturn one more thing "the black guy" did (which seems to be Trump's entire platform) but to take notice of what he did under cover of hurricane is not OK?

Also, let us remember, catastrophic floods in parts of Asia. Humanity does not end at the U.S. borders, and those countries have far fewer resources and no celebs doing telethons. So while sending donations to Red Cross and Human Society, consider including Doctors Without Borders or UNICEF as well.

No. It's not that I think it's ok, or not ok. It's that right now, with people dying and friends becoming homeless overnight, I don't give a fuck. And this thread, about the complete devastation of the 3rd largest city in the United States, is not the forum for your liberal bullshit. Same goes for the other side. Take it somewhere else. My wife and daughter have been in a shelter since Sunday volunteering. My boys and I have been on our boat getting people out of their destroyed homes. Do you think any of us give a flying fuck who those people voted for? Maybe, just maybe, you could stop with your political bullshit and send good thoughts.

If anyone would like to donate, but have no real idea how, or what to do, a friend of ours started a bug spray drive. The rescuers are getting bit everywhere, and the water in homes and neighborhoods will be thete for weeks. If interested, pm me know and I will get you tge address to send stuff. This region will run out soon.
 
Is it too early to create a Hurricane Irma thread?

This one could be just as bad.

Way too early according to our news. Irma and Jose are two out there. Irma has a goo week until anyone knows where it might go. Jose sitting in same spot as Harvey, but only a 20% chance of developing. There is also a high pressure system coming in from the north that should push both away.

I mean, but to get technical but that potential storm that models are predicting to form in the Western Gulf isn't Jose yet. Pwople started calling that skirted N. Carolina as Irma, as it had a 70% chance to develop at one point, but it never did. Now look what Irma is.. An absolute monster.

High pressure to the north will keep Irma going westward. If you mean a high pressure system to the west that'll stop Irma from reaching your part of Texas, that's possible. However, high pressure to the west makes it hard to predict cyclone track, as it can have a stagnating effect (as it did with Harvey).

The top two hurricane forecasting model ensembles (the GFS and EURO) have Irma threatening the states, with the GFS predicting an impact between the Carolinas and Maine, and the EURO predicting a landfall somewhere around Florida.

With the way this ridge is setting up, I think Irma will impact the eastern coast of Florida, Georgia, or South Carolina. There's probably a 75% chance it makes a landfall in the US as a hurricane. It's looking grim, and sadly, one of the best case scenarios for the US is for the storm to weaken itself plowing through Hispaniola and Cuba, which would be very devastating for them.

Ya, it's going to hit something. Hoping it gets pushed out to sea.
 
This thread is for general discussion of the hurricane, including the response to it and people's opinions of that response (which obviously may be political). It can be reasonably assumed that everyone hopes for the best for those affected by it, but that's not the only purpose of the thread. I would definitely encourage everyone reading this to give any amount of money they can reasonably afford to a good charity. Though that's a good thing to do at all times--it's certainly more starkly evident when a disaster strikes.

It's only about me because people asked how we were. This thread is more about the political agendas of others than anything else.

You told us how you were. You've been in the chemically polluted water. It's just a matter of time until you turn into the Toxic Avenger.

41 now dead. The city of Beaumont has no clean water. That's a population of 120,000 people.
 
A little over 100,000 homes flooded in Houston. I don't know if they are including other cities in that total.
 
One of the major rivers through a lot of cities won't crest until Saturday
