I've watched Harvey since August 18th and I'm just an idiot with a Hurricane App on my phone, if you live 200 miles off the coast of a major body of warm water( Gulf of Mexico), common sense needs to prevail.
Major news networks need to take some heat as well, on Friday night instead of focusing on Gorka and Arapaio, the focus should have been in this storm.
There is a new storm forming as I type this off the coast of Florida.
Only a 40% chance of that developing into anything. Unlikely to become much.
You are absolutely correct and Thanks so much for all your compassion for the people in Houston, Tx
I also blame President Trump for not stopping the Rain and for not putting a giant umbrella over Houston to protect it. He issued the Disaster FEMA relief 2 days ago, but he failed to arrest the City Leaders in Houston who issued the "stay in place" orders.
Trump should have just stopped the Rain.
Well, I mean to his supporters he is god, so he should be able to.
Talk about compassion maybe you need to look at your own posts. Reading some of these silly political comments make me realize what is important. I may have to evacuate soon...
As far as evacuating Houston; lets say that they can fill all the 120 busses with about 60 people each. That would be about 7200. Houston has a population of 2,300,000 (not counting the outskirts) and they would need 320 trips for all 120 buses and trips to where? The rains look like they are over a very large area so, if it is even possible, you would need to transport all those people a very long way. How much time would it take to make 320 trips? Of course some evacuated early and wanted no part of the storm so that would be fewer to be transported; but then you still have the surrounding areas. They would need considerably more than 120 busses if Houston did need to be evacuated. Are there any roads out of the Houston area that have no problems?
The one thing I have to say about the video I have seen on the TV is that everybody is pulling together. I am seeing our Whites helping save Black lives and the other way around and many Hispanics are also in the mix as well as other nationalities. Nobody is protesting that they were saved by another skin color! While Charlottesville represented the worst in our Country; Houston represents the best. I wish them the best of luck overcoming this disaster.

So was Harvey when it started around north eastern South America, ( eastern Lesser Antilles), Harvey didn't reform till 8/23. Anytime you get a tropical wave near the Gulf there's a potential for disaster, and its worth keeping eyes on it occasionally.
The point is, in a political forum people will tend to comment from a political frame of reference.
I don't understand your remark about compassion, I'm afraid. Sorry....
