izzat so?
A rescuer for the famed Louisiana Cajun Navy says looters tried to steal their boats and fired shots at them while they were trying to save Houston residents from flooded homes.
Clyde Cain told CNN that a boat broke down, and while the crew sought shelter in a delivery truck, people tried to steal the inoperable boat.
“They’re making it difficult for us to rescue them,” he said. “You have people rushing the boat. Everyone wants to get in at the same time. They’re panicking. Water is rising.”
The Cajun Navy initially made the announcement in a Facebook post Monday afternoon, but the post was later removed.
Cain later went live on the Cajun Navy Facebook page to clarify what’s happening.
“There’s looters out here, as in any time you have a natural disaster or catastrophe,” Cain said. “We’re OK.”
Because of the hostile responses, the Cajun Navy has been forced to halt some rescue attempts, Cain said.

No argument at all. When everything is paved and sealed, other than drains, there is no place for the water to go. Result? More flooding.
Maryland Rain Tax
This mandate from the EPA was mandated to the states of Maryland, New York, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and the District of Columbia. Maryland is the only state that has levied a tax to meet the EPA’s standards.[2] According to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation, the fastest-growing source of bay water pollution from Maryland is currently
stormwater runoff This tax, of course, does not tax rain but has been implemented in varying ways at the county level, such as a flat fee per property owner, or based on impervious surface square footage.

thanks, dude. appreciate the warm sentiments.
He was being sarcastic to Micabwer. I forgot you were still in TX. I knew you were going to FL for a job, thought you might be there already. Hope everything is OK where you are in TX.

1) i was being completely facetious; trolling his troll if you will
2) you know i have lived in Texas and my wife was raised there; i love Texas and have classmates and friends living in Houston; this is devastating and my heart goes out to everyone there
I hope they learn and change their ignorant policies on climate change.

You don't really want the water to go anywhere, at least not very fast.
Here in WV, a mere fraction of the rain Houston got killed 23 people, including a friend of mine. It's good that Houston is relatively flat and the water lays around for the most part. People can get around in boats and are fairly easily rescued. Even water thigh deep will sweep away pretty much everything in its way, if it's moving fast enough.
Whole valleys were swept clean by that flood. If Houston had a lot of steep elevation changes and the water drained off rapidly the death toll would be unthinkable.
Perhaps Al Gore can give them all free tickets to his movie to convince them huh?
