Sucks to see the city I grew up in like this.

It's unbelievable. Houston has always been prone to flooding but this is like somebody dumped a lake on the city. Houston mayor will have to shoulder a lot of blame for not asking people to evacuate.

To be fair evacuating a city that size is problematic to say the least.

thanks. A friend in Houston sent this to me yesterday. I thought he took it himself since he was at the airport. Apparently not.

Sadly, this is the just the beginning. We will only more and more of these events in the coming decades.

5 days of rain non stop.

The dam seems to be close to a fucked up stage.

What a crowd! What a turnout!

The hurricane is apparently circling around after regaining strength in the gulf. Going to hit again.

Apparently that's what happened yesterday. It seems like Harvey is now moved to Louisiana.
What a nightmare it was.

Actually the second landfall happened earlier this morning but in southwest Louisiana. It's forecasted to move to Mississippi with NOLA in its path.

I was there for Rita, trust me the evacuation was a nightmare, it took us 24 hours to go 200 miles, there were no cops and the whole thing looked straight out of mad max.

 

[Dostoevsky]

So how bad is it? Damage? Death?

Well, I agree that evacuating the entire city is madness. They could've evacuated more flood prone parts in south of Houston, Galveston, Sugar Land, Missouri City or near the reserviors. He literally told people to "think twice" before leaving. Voluntary and mandatory evacuation orders came so late that there was no dry road anymore.

Death toll seems to be around 10 so far. But from what I heard from friends in Houston the damage is unbelievable. Everybody I know there either had their house flooded or they know somebody that did. This is only Houston though. Coastal areas where hurricane first made landfall got the worst of this.

EDIT: at least 18 deaths so far.
