Putting Hurricane Harvey In Perspective

We don't have experience with the new normal, and that's a big risk.

My old perspective on Hurricane Harvey: It's bad. . . . My new perspective on Hurricane Harvey: It's really, really bad.

I was here in Houston through the storm. I personally didn't have any flooding, but many other neighborhoods here were not so lucky. I was hoping you were actually going to cover how much flooding other storms have cause throughout history, so as to be able to determine if Harvey was out of the ordinary from a long term historical perspective.

I live in Texas and remember watching live forecast and saw the instant that Harvey was rated a cat. 4, it was scary yet amazing.

I like how the description of the damage doesn't go beyond catastrophic damage. It's like the one who made it was like "If wind speeds go up between 130-156 mph, the damage would be catastrophic! It would be insane! And if the speed would go beyond that, it would be...! ...uh... VERY catastrophic! Yeah!"

Hurricane Harvey: one of the most powerful and destructive hurricanes to hit America. Hurricane Irma: '"hold my beer. I'm taking a shot at this"

My heart goes out to all people who were affected. My house had water over the roof and we had to bulldoze it, I now had to move school districts just to find shelter and we are trying to move back to that city. So to anybody who had it bad I’m so so sorry

I am a video producer in Corpus Christi, Texas. I was out riding along with AEP crews less than 24 hours after the storm passed. Seeing the destruction on video doesn't accurately capture the horror of what it was like in person. As bad as it was, had the storm trekked just 10 miles west before landfall, it would have been way, way worse. The storm was originally forecast to come right up Corpus Christi Bay. Rockport, Port A, Aransas, etc.... all those towns that took a direct hit would still have been decimated, but so would Corpus... .a city of of almost 400,000 people. As it happened, Corpus got incredibly lucky. Fences were blown over, power lines knocked down and a bunch of trees fell. That's it. It's amazing the difference just ten miles makes.

If you are in a hurricane and can't evacuate stay in your house and wait for the whole thing to blow over.

so like i’m from the south houston area and i’ll never forget the devastation of that night , my house flooding car drifting down the street in the water but the worst part.... i was super drunk and sluggish from the may weather and mcgreagor fight

I live in Spring and close to the creek and it basically wraps around my whole neighborhood. Luckily, My area of the neighborhood was quite high. So, when Harvey came along and the creek flooded, I was on a Island.

Man that fish-eye lense makes that hurricane look super massive relative to the curve its applying to the horizon!

I live in Texas and was in its direct path (I live relatively close to the Houston area, the beach is an hour or so away) and the day before everything transpired I had a gut feeling it was going to be bad, but everyone told me “you’re overreacting, it’s nothing.” I remember the roof of our townhouse caving in, the bottom level flooding with a few inches of water, and no power for a week. A guy tried to connect a large generator outside and apparently it was overloaded or something, and it exploded. It was so strange, everything so desolate.

I feel so proud donating ten dollars for harvey

27t gallons was the only thing that put Harvey in perspective 😂

RIP Cassini.

You definitely had your eye on the storm.

When you start filming a video about Harvey and then right in the middle, Irma comes in to screw with the record books.

I thought this said let’s see Steve Harvey for a second, I was like wtf is Steve Harvey doing

I've been in Hurricane Harvey in Houston. It was just huge downpours of heavy rain and endless thunderstorms that lasted forever for days.
