    With 98% of flood damaged homes being uninsured against such occurrences it is going to be an expensive cleanup.

    The people in charge of these Dams, should of released the dams at least 6ft, way before the rain came in, and many people could of been saved from losing their homes. They knew this weather was coming 2 weeks in advance!

    Why are some American people still building houses on low ground? Their houses will always get damaged by floods.

    Gerrymandering, and restrictive voting rights makes Texas red. There are more Democrats here than Republicans. But more importantly, we’re just Americans. For all those sending us hate and wishing us ill will, FU. To everyone else, appreciate yuh. Peace Love Happiness

    Let's make sure that Texas don't request or receive any federal assistance...
