    It was way more than 50 inches. 50 inches was the lowest amount some areas received. I heard that some scientists believe that 60-70 inches is how much rain actually fell.

    The human chain really hit me cause those people saved that elderly man’s life from drowning. If it wasn’t for those people he wouldn’t be here. I thank them for their hard work and effort💖 God really sent his angels down.

    I live here in Houston and one thing I do know is that they need to stop tearing down the trees and wetlands because that’s where they are building the new houses and that’s where the water will stay
  • @joyjoyoo
    My god the houses were submerged

    Even for people in a code red medical emergency, there were not enough helicopters and there were zero ambulance boats in most areas of this city, so you have to prepare for extreme heat and flooding here.
