Houston floods
- Thread starter Humpy
- Start date
At this moment there is a long line of volunteers outside the NRG Center in Houston to help the displaced. As the water recedes, there will be armies of pickups and vans from all over Texas, Louisiana and Oklahoma among other states loaded with tools and chainsaws headed to SE Texas to help begin the cleanup and rebuild. Houston will recover without the help of the armchair finger pointers and engineering visionaries.
With that sort of attitude the problem will never be fixed. The hurricanes will just keep on repeating themselves with the same old results, costs etc.
Maybe it is karma for all of the big screen tv's and shopping cart loads of jeans that were stolen during Katrina.
Note: my comment above is satire in response to the sick things lefties are saying about texans deserving the hurricane for voting for bush. I put this note in because the lefties here accept that ridiculous tripe and could think that someone might even make a comment like that. Sick pigeons - all of them.

It wont be long now before they blame the flood on Trump and the deep state narrative will be that he does not care about black people. The smears are endless. I estimate 50% of the population are completely hacked off with the MSM and deep state lies. Another 15% are becoming awake. The remaining 35% are firm never trumpers who would prefer to cut their arm off rather than say anything positive about him.
The Lies continue
Nazi
White Supremacist
Racist
Abusive towards Women
Russian Spy
He is not successful in business
Tax Dodger
What the deep state/MSM would say if they could get away with it
Trump is Hitler
Trump is responsible for creating Cancer
Trump is a paedophile
Trump is a sexual predator
Trump causes natural disasters
Trump is into sexual watersports (pissgate failed) lol

Muslims Opening Their Doors To Flood Victims: ‘We Feel And Suffer The Same’
“Moments like this is what I consider true inner-faith work.”
The devastation from Hurricane Harvey will be long-lasting and the recovery effort for Houston will take years. That’s why volunteers with ISGH ― including Bibi Khan, who heads the group’s social services unit ― are adamant that they intend to help anyone in need.
“There’s no religion, there’s no color,” Khan said of the tragedy. “We are open to help everyone and anyone. When disaster strikes, we have to jump on this immediately.”
At one mosque location, Khan said she was overwhelmed at seeing so many non-Muslims taking refuge in the sanctuary.
“We were so thrilled to see them,” Khan said. “[Non-Muslims] didn’t at any point feel different from us, and it was the most amazing moment we had.”

Muslim restaurants in the community have also been providing free food to those in the convention center, passing out hundreds of meals even as the hour grows late.

The ISGH immediately mobilized its volunteer committee as the storm hit. Khan said more than 400 people have chipped in to help, staffing rescue missions, distributing food, and even working around the clock at Houston’s George R. Brown Convention Center, where more than 9,000 people have sought shelter.

Joel Osteen’s Houston Megachurch Blasted For Closing As Thousands Are Displaced
The 16,800-seat church announced on Facebook that it was “inaccessible due to severe flooding.”
One church, however, drew criticism online for remaining shut. Joel Osteen’s Lakewood Church, a 16,800-seat indoor arena, announced on Facebook that it was “inaccessible due to severe flooding.”
Evangelical pastor Joel Osteen ― the head of a megachurch in Lakewood, Texas ― was harshly condemned for closing his church as the disaster first struck. He later opened the church as a shelter after facing backlash online.
“If people were here, they’d realize there were safety issues,” Osteen said Wednesday. “We were just being precautious, but the main thing is the city didn’t ask us to become a shelter then.”
Osteen and his wife live in a $10.5 million mansion in the upscale River Oaks neighborhood in central Houston. The neighborhood was hit with intense flooding over the weekend, with rescue teams coming to evacuate residents and their dogs. The preacher did not say whether his home was damaged.
Lakewood Church has previously helped with relief efforts in the city, most recently hosting a benefit concert in 2016 after heavy flooding. In 2001, the church sheltered roughly 5,000 Texans displaced by a tropical storm.
But the church’s response to Harvey drew harsh criticism on social media, with hundreds of users saying Osteen owes the city more than his prayers.
