This hurricane has been a disaster. It just stopped and is sitting over Houston. Brazoria County's levee just got breached. The record for rainfall from one storm has been surpassed and it will be days before the rain stops.

If any of our [USERGROUP=2]Registered[/USERGROUP] members are from that area, I hope you all are safe.

I'm in Abilene, and we haven't had much other than a welcome drop in temperature. Kinda crazy that this state is so big that you can have a major weather event in one part, and nothing at all half-way across (I'm in the middle). Lot's of people gearing up to help out around here too. Already starting to take refugees.

I live a little over 2 hours north east from Houston. We are started to get more rain and could see some flooding now.

I have a lot of friends and a couple family members effected by this storm. It's heartbreaking looking through Facebook right now.
 
Don't personally know anyone who is being affected, but this is certainly a historic storm.

Good luck to everyone there.

Does all that rainfall mean floods?

Some a****** from ABC called the cops after seeing people getting food out of a flooded supermarket. They weren't stealing TVs they were taking food that will never be sold. Hope that guy drowns.

Isn't that still theft?

Yes... but no. Food is going to spoil anyway and people need it. It is a different thing when people are stealing electronics and such.

If the supermarket has any flooding, most everything gets thrown out anyway.

Looting is a major problem though and the people who were smart and left should have their property protected as much as possible though.
 
Call me old school but I don't take stuff that doesn't belong to me or stuff I didn't pay for. Those people are thieves taking advantage of a situation IMO.

What would you do if you and your family were desperate for food? Keep in mind that food will never be sold. It will either be stolen or trashed.

Would you think its wrong if these people were taking food out of a dumpster right now?

Taking advantage? By f***ing EATING?
 
FWIW I know a guy who's a meteorologist down there and I've only had spotty contact (obviously) but he's totally shocked the death total isn't higher and he's basically saying that they simply haven't found the bodies yet. Plus the water is still rising in places.

Sometimes our news likes to exaggerate everything, but this looks to be a historic event.
 
The James Webb Space Telescope is chilling (literally) at Johnson Space Center so please be careful.

I don't know anyone personally down there. A Facebook friend of a Facebook friend (and former TXB user) lives in Corpus Cristi. They got out before it got there though but rip anything left.
