Lived in Houston some years ago. The Texas upper gulf coast is a magnet for natural disasters on a scale that I have never seen in other places where I have stayed. It seems that this region suffers a statistical once-in-500-years catastrophe every other year. Now,I start to see stories on the web about area residents suffering from anxiety and PTSD-like symptoms each time rains begins to fall. At that point, it is time to get the hell out.
Here's a great idea.
Build a huge city in a severe flood zone and act surprised when 1000s of people get flooded out of their homes.
And they will turn right around and build even more homes and businesses ............... And then brag about how Houston is one of the fastest growing cities in the country.
@@kansasthunderman1 Not exactly the brightest bulbs, are they? Still, people go to great lengths to eke out a living, wherever it can be found. Lord knows that I had done it for several years before coming to my senses.
@@prairiewolfedogg I bet there's LOTS of churches on every street corner.
Winnie isn't in Houston. Houston did pretty well considering how much rain fell.
Am I seeing this right?? She’s nonchalantly wading around in the water in her home with the electricity on and lighting striking nearby???
Yeah that was scary.
Not real bright
I’m freaking about that the loss she suffers is terrible. But I’d be with electricity off. Flashlights candles. Prayers .
There are a lot of people who are trying to eliminate their DNA from the human gene pool.
That was the first thought in my mind as well, when I saw her walking around the flooded interior by electric light. Which is more hazardous, danger of electrocution or sitting in carcinogenic swamp water? God help them.
People for your info. Still haven't recovered from Harvey in the Houston area and .many have not been able to return to their homes, have even been flooded since Harvey .
That's what happens when people build a huge city in a severe flood zone and act surprised when 1000s of people get flooded out of their homes.
And they will turn right around and build even more homes and businesses ................ then brag about how Houston is one of the fastest growing cities in the country.
Rebuilt twice is not an option for flooded neighborhoods in Houston
Best thing to do is to go live in the north area. Praying for God to bless financially this lady and her family .
How far north? Certainly further than a hundred miles from the coast.

@@prairiewolfedogg its not always about the coast its about how far you are about sea level and what the soil is like, some places the ground wont suck up as much water or not fast nuff. just have to look at this stuff, its what sciences and all that crazy crap like math and engineering that people hate to listen to is about. but as you can see houston area or w/e this is is not safe same said for new Orleans but you cant change how people want to think and where they want to put citys at
i know some people cant move, but its best to just move away from these coast flood citys just move the businesses and people it will be cheaper in the long run
Is the President they probably voted for going to help them, or will he go golfing again at the cost of $2 million a weekend? Are they going to finally realize climate change is real and not a Democrat/Chinese hoax? What's it gonna take for people to realize and vote for their own welfare instead of a lying psychopath?
@@signalfire6 listen, most people are either fools, ignorant(not an insult its just means dont know about something) or just lazy, they dont care about issues unless it affects them and even then some dont cares bout issues just what is gonna help them,
thats the prob with 90% of people in this world they don't care HOW things happen only how to fix it, or they do care and know how things happen just dont want to sacrifice or pay for the means to prevent it
iv given up on people you should too and enjoy your life, it wont change just get worst
I really hope these people make it somewhere safe this is horrible
0:23-0:37 "I cant see the road" That's the exact view i had for 10 hours in the drivers seat wile rescuing people all night long Wednesday 9/18/19 in Winnie! Couldn't see 20 feet in front of you the rain was so hard, and it didn't let up all night long, neither did the lightning! The flood waters were getting deeper by the minute. It didn't rain that hard during Harvey. Now imagine having to drive down that road in a 13K lbs vehicle with strangers lives in your hands and those lives depend on your decisions! Men, women, young, old, new born babies, bed ridden elderly, wheelchairs, dogs, cats and all kinds of pets! We were the only two trucks able to get through the flood waters, with a whole city in need of rescue. @4am i called a friend closer Houston to bring his truck to Winnie to help with rescues.
I want nor ask nothing in return, its simply neighbors helping neighbors and just a sliver of the whole story that you wont hear on the network news.
one idea if you live in flood prone areas. find a cheap cabin type boat on a trailer good hull. water tight and stocked with emergency dry clothes and water dry place for everyone can sleep. a floating camper.
I live in winnie and my property has NEVER FLOODED, until this storm. I got 10 inches of water in my house for the first time ever.
global warming and climate change is REAL
Prayers for all of you. Pray everyone is safe.
Carolyn M Scotti
I pray for Houston hope everything and everyone is safe that guy was so sweet . This looks terrible I hope this stops ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😭😭
My heart goes out to the people whose been affected by this storm 😔
I pray for you all and bless you
How come days before the rain, every newscast said it will be horrible. Seem like they were caught by surprise. How is that possible? Texas is weird!
Because we tired of the news lying. We hear it's bad prepare and it do nothing.
Bless you all
Very sad now houses should be built 20 feet high, Mr.Algore warned 15 year ago regarding environment but mafia rejected his efforts
condolences to the people of Houston going through this tragedy. Be safe now think about it you're walking in water and there's electricity so just be careful.
Allot of those cars are screwed. Depending on how much water entered the cars the water can lead to engine trouble, electrical system failure, and major component malfunction. Water can also lead to rust & mold issues. Some of those homes are pretty bad. I hope they have flood insurance.
They may have flood insurance .................... Until their insurance company cancels it.
They'll sell them at auction and not let people know they were flooded. Be VERY careful if you buy a used car. Pull the Carfax report, open the trunk and lift up the carpet, smell for musty smells.
When you can get out, Leave the area forever. Go to higher ground, and don’t be LOTS WIFE.
Ronda Kelly you mean sodim and Gomorrah all over again? Same results.
Prayers for all. Don’t judge people because they stayed. They need support and prayers now
Well it looks like some kind of judgement is on these areas! Like Tornado Alley, they just go back in and rebuild the houses & in a year or two later here comes the tornadoes again! human beings are supposed to be the smartest and yet we just keep redoing the same disasters!
a tropical storm is worse than a hurricane :/
Tropical storm Allison flooded over 70 thousand homes in 2001. Houston / Galveston is ground zero for natural disaster.
This is so so sad
Woooooow Really sad to see someone,s home like this.
I dont understand why after allison harvey they did not move out of texas
Wow, that woman from Winnie is so composed!
So terrible that in a modern country, governments allow homes to be built in areas - for profit - that are not fit for human habitation
Tenzin Nordron this is a huge reality and it’s the truth. The corruption in our government is so unacceptable and, they just want to keep having us in one spot no matter what! All is related to have us under control. So sad. 🤦🏻♀️ The Lord Help Us All 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

But when I was into "tiny home videos", I "learned" Texas was best cause areas were free of zoning and housing codes. 🤠
Tenzin Nordron I would like to hear more about it. If you have videos, please share. Thanks 😊and have a great weekend.
Faith Love Hope i watched a lot of tiny house videos in 2017. Two from Texas had locals praising complete "freedom" from pesky regulations - one in rural/small town area & one from major city. I'll try to find.
God help those folks.
Here's the thing. People who had 0 problems in the tax day flood and Harvey were totally flooded. After the tax day flood, which was higher than Harvey for us, ppl in Houston were like "It rained?"
Now they are getting it and now there is barely a person in this area who has not been affected by these floods.
Heartbreaking 😥😥
The planet is already 410 + PPMs and rising fast to unsustainable temps....this is just going to keep happening more often and with more intensity. In the last few years The Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and now the Bahamas have been crushed ....sadly....rough times ahead.
Jeeze...that is scary...caught them off guard.
How can these people afford flood insurance? Or is the rest of the country now subsidizing them?
I was there when Harvey hit..it was bad..should have know...it would do it again..
Floating around in all that animal feces, the electrical equipment, perhaps freon from the fridge is a death trap.
Stranded people need a boat I think we all should get one these days John boat little motor I don't have one
Thank God I was safe from every major event. You have to move in elevated areas.
Wow a bit more and water would reach kitchen counter top.
Why oh Why are city's building home's in flood plains
Irish citizen
Derek Mulready 2 words “Corruption & Greed” This is unacceptable after so many huracanes and storms and they still allow people to rebuilt again to lose it all over again!!!🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

kansasthunderman1 it’s so sad, I live in a condo on the 5th floor and I even got affected with the water. I left this town for good and unfortunately I had to come back again because my condo didn’t sell and after Hardy and now this one, who knows when we’ll be able to leave this city once for all!
@@HopingforGodsreturnsoon Walk away. Find work somewhere where the weather isn't trying to kill you. Get training in something like nursing so you'll make good money and can move anywhere you want. If you don't want to do nursing, there are other hospital tech jobs (and just plain tech jobs) that are viable going forward. Hospitals are begging for workers.
Houston was founded in 1837. What you say wasn't even a question back then.
That 40 Acres and a Mule doesn't seem like it was a bad idea compared to this and what's coming ;-)
2:05 well, I WOULD be scared; of being electrocuted!! Turn off the electricity, lady! Y’all, I live in SETX and in Houston some young people went into their flooded house and died because they got electrocuted because the electricity was still on and water got into the electrical wiring which created an electrical current in the water. It is SO dangerous. NEVER stay inside with standing water and if you do, then make SURE ALL electricity is turned off at the breaker box. This goes for all areas such as sheds and other areas besides your home.
America needs to look into themselves. SERIOUSLY!!!
The ice cap is melying the water has yo go somewhere the ocean is already full.move to higher ground. Thay should be everyone concerned
Damn not the cigarettes !
Margie Carroll video- WOW!
Damn.
Abba Yah have mercy👀😥 Every body should be praying in repenting The Most High God is furious with the 🌎! He is speaking thru Nature so sorry for all yal going thru my prayers are with u all!
Please prayers for us in Texas when you lose everything but still have your mind babies screaming crying people have losted everything they owned whole city under water staying in a shelter can be ALOT and very over whelming im thankful we may have losted but were still alive at least please pray for better days feel free to bless us $PrettieArtistEdith
BLESSINGS : LORD JESUS HAVE MERCY .!
wow lets rebuild again and again lol
You got that right. Here's a great idea.

I was there when Harvey hit I left..your in a flood zone you leave
The solution is to lift the house, some people fix the House and flooded again.
@george washington Yep. Jamaica beach has houses raised and Harvey took them down and flooded them anyways. Climate change is real and Texans keep voting red and denying the evidence.
The La Quinta takes pets
5 dogs and a few cats?? Doubt it
when I saw the headline I thought they talking about a bunch of whiny people in Texas.
Time 2 put a 2ed story on the house
people never ever learn: ( feeling bad for all the folks who are silly enuf to wait it out
Life worth stuff person worked for gone ruined jus like that,As much as Houston gets flooded You would think govt must have done something to stop flooding happening from again n again,But In Harvey I know someplaces my street didnt have no water but today everywhere.
Nevada, home.
No, too many tarantulas in Nevada that migrate in droves across, well, everywhere. Also, Nevada (actually most of the western US) has the opposite problem of the gulf coast - too little water. Colorado river is running dry and people all along it want to siphon more water from it each year.
Maggie.... *real world problems* : (
The rain and wind will get worse and worse
This giant shi' storm is on its way to north Texas, innit? GAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!
Trump; "This is a disaster.....ok, time for a round of golf."
Life goes on for those not effected! FEMA can not do anything til the storm is done! Emergency personnel can rescue trapped people, set emergency shelters , then help with clean up maybe rebuild and get flooded out in another storm! Even congress( democrats) are still carrying out their attack on President Trump, maybe even spending twenty some million dollars more investigating ,what the Mueller report could not because there was nothing wrong just the democrats could not accept they lost!
Trump needs more exercise and less golf..dude is a little heavy.
John Smith Karmas a bitch
@@davidklimek7999 - No party is without sin. Both the Democrats and Republicans are corporate whoring sellouts to the likes of Big Pharma and the military-industrial complex. They are both parts of the so-called swamp. America would be better off without them including their greedy-elite puppet masters. Edit: And as for Trump, I am no supporter of his, but I will absolutely credit him if he deserves it. And so long as he stays out of more unnecessary wars - fuck John Bolton, by the way - then good job.
What makes it so bad though is it's like seeing all your stuff go away like that and that water so black Lord have mercy yahshua have mercy
just move to a higher ground lady because it's gonna get worse in the future
🙏🏾🙏🏾
I'm not a person who promotes trends or any type of bullshit, but to me it's obvious we are as it seems to me to be living in the end of days or may I say end of what ever is going on
Hey I have a great idea Lets move back to TEXAS 🙄 NOT & NEVER AGAIN❗
There are parts that never flood.
That's what happens to last storm that hit the island month of two ago they trying to killed us all of the sources.
I believe the Indians warned you can not live on every blade of grass...,
#CLIMATECHANGE #CLIMATECHANGEISREAL THING ARE JUST GETTING STARTED WITH EXTREME WEATHER
Well harvey wasnt last year so I dont know if your memory is that great
@UCIj_od55_Rq5cYzjPiT8W8w what really matters is understanding that all storms are different and that just one really bad rain band over an area can make it worse than others
you are domb it's OK this world did it Amen
you are domb......it probably seems like yesterday.
MAN MADE STORMS !
Ask Andrew Yang, Texas.... Ubi will help... Yang 2020
"WHiney Residents" ?!
I guess every one needs a boat for these times get in pets all papers money get some were buy a car and leave if can
Weather warfare period

Stop complaining!!!
Other people have it worse, I just broke my I phone!!!!
That’s Disastrous!!!
There was a weatherman on the Weather Channel telling people don't worry it won't be that bad, just wait it out sit back eat popcorn you're going to be just fine.
Because he's woke. He knows Climate Change is a hoax created by Ren & Stimpy. And unicorns are real.
@@ro4eva I love your answer. ☺️
*REPENT ALL PEOPLE AND BELIEVE ON JESUS HOLY NAME AND BE SAVED THY IN THY HOUSEHOLD ACTS **16:31*
Go to a motel or family/ friends.
Get what money you can together.
One option , buy something on wheels to live in which will Give you time to figure out what to do and where to go unless you can live with family for a while.
Pets are most likely confused and scared, Google pet rescues and pet shelters.
Get them safe and secured while figuring out what to do..
Seems like these weather events are going to keep on coming.
Get out of low lying areas.
I'm so sorry for those who are suffering . Humans and animals.
Take sides with God. Do the right thing.
Revelation 11: 18 God will bring to ruin those ruining the earth.
Psalms 37; 29 The righteous will possess the EARTH and live forever on it.
My heart goes out to all those in BEAUMONT and surrounding areas that are being flooded beyond what humans should have to endure. a good you tube channel for Living on wheels is '" CheapRVliving"
Yes, thank you for the channel suggestion.
dee b Amén 🙏🏻 We need to come back to him in our knees and repent for all the things that are wrong and we accept it as right. People don’t understand that what they are missing is not material and not from this world. But that we need to repent or one day, we will lose all our blessings completely. Is not just in Houston, and floods is everywhere with fires in the West Coast 🔥, and floodings all over the East Coast. God Bless Us All 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
@Liza Tanzawa Your welcome.
@@prairiewolfedogg Your welcome.
@@HopingforGodsreturnsoon ❤️
We have to pray for all these families that lost it all. Very sad to lose everything but most importantly they save their lives, that for sure is irreplaceable. We really need to get in our knees and repent of all our sins. We keep having these events over and over again here in Houston. Believe me is not climate change is lack of God in our country nowadays. We are loosing our blessings accepting all the wrong things as good. God Bless Us All 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
But even bad things happen to God’s people. Think of Job. And this world isn’t perfect and is coming to an end someday. We will be free from pain in the end, but as for now, I don’t think we can completely avoid bad things in our lives. I do believe we can avoid some of it if we’re right with the Lord, but even then, bad things have purpose and God works all things together for our good.
Why is it so hard to believe in God and science at the same time? What if this is Gods way of letting you know that you need to get out before something big happens because climate change is real. What if God is giving you another opportunity to live so that you can pack up and move your family to safer grounds? Climate change is real! Did you see what happened in the Bahamas?
I pray that people come to their senses and realize that they need to move. Just saying.
Miss_B Hello we’ll in that case we’re doomed because we’ve destroyed everything he’s created. It’s sad that half the world actually want to do something about it but the other half just want to sit there and let it be. Carbon emission is the devil and global warming is real!
stacy vang I believe in Science but I believe everything happens because God is in control and He allows things to happen. Imelda was just a tropical storm and nobody and I men’s “NOBODY” not even the news predicted that it was going to be so bad. All that is happening now, is Biblical and as a Real Christian, I don’t believe in any Global Climate Change that has been debunked by REAL SCIENTISTS and unfortunately the news keep brainwashing ppl with these theories. You can’t even find the “Real Scientists” from all over the world talking about these incidents related with the sun and how it change over the years. We even had the Ice Age, and nobody talked about humans creating that then! It’s incredible how brain 🧠 wash this world is with this nonsense. Btw, WE here in the USA are one of the cleanest country in the world and why in the world nobody is telling China & India, the worse countries that are filling our oceans and rivers with trash, plastic, debris of all kinds and the sky with all the pollution they have, why nobody is telling them to stop that. I’ve been there the Yang-Tse River is disgusting filthy and in Beijing you can’t see anything one kilometer away from where you are, but they want US the USA citizen Taxes to pay for climate change and then stop having meet PLEASE give me a break!
stacy vang Global Warming is a fallacy, brain wash. Carbon Monoxide is amazing for plants and that’s what they feed from. Fossil Fuels come from nature and if we THE USA 🇺🇸 we didn’t created and invented electricity, back in the 1800s nobody in the world nowadays will have it. In order to have all we have in our houses, we need electricity and in order to have electricity we need external power to created (water, wind, fossil fuels,sun) the cheapest and more efficient is fossil fuels. Did you know that electrical cars will contaminate our fields and lands even more when they discard their humungous “LITHIUM” batteries? They are doing it now and they are POISING for the water, the land fields etc. And how do you think a electrical car will have the power to be charged? With electricity provided by Fossil Fuels. Just think about cell phones 📱 why do you think they are telling you to dispose them in special centers? Because of the lithium batteries 🔋 are POISON ☠️ Now Imagine the car batteries and all the batteries made by lithium that need to be built to have electric cars... not only that solar panels need them too in order to function. Just think about solar calculators, how they get charge? With sun but the sun recharge the lithium and there is a point they don’t get recharge anymore, like the cell phones. Please read other reports about this fallacy of this false climate change theory, listen independent radio and media, and don’t let CNN NBC CBS MSNBC etc, Brain 🧠 Wash You and if you believe in God, believe God has a purpose for everything that is happening and He Created Us and Created the World, we can’t be so ignorant as believers to believe that we can destroy what he created. For sure we can destroy a lot and damage a lot and contaminate a lot, but we “cannot” destroy the world that HE created. Read the Bible, everything is there and Revelations predicted earthquakes, volcanos 🌋 natural disasters, famines and the world trying to control everything with one ☝🏻 just 1 World Order Gov Currency and Religion. We are close to that. God Help USA 🇺🇸 help us all and open the eyes 👀 of all that don’t know his word and are still seeing but are blind by the lies. 🙏🏻
PRAY, GIRL, PRAY...ASK GOD TO FORGIVE YOU & YOUR FAMILY FOR ANYTHING YOU MAY BE HOLDING AGAINST ANYONE...IF YOU HAVEN'T ASKED THE LORD IN TO YOUR HEART, ASK HIM IN...THEN, PRAY FOR DELIVERANCE & FOR THE RECESSION OF THIS FLOOD...;)
Turn to the Lord
Repent
The King is coming soon but he’s bringing judgment because he wants souls saved and it’s going to get worst all over the world.
Pray please
Fck you!
@@eveharris30 The light shines into the darkness, but the darkness heeds it not.
Trump has over 70% support from Evangelicals, if that's who those cretins worship then your religion has failed mankind.
if your have problem call jesus pray repent all sin jesus is coming soon judgment god is coming soon
Your sky monster hasn't helped anybody.
@@eveharris30 You pitiful, man - pitiful. All bitter and hopeless and dry inside. Why don't you ask for the help of the Almighty for anything that you need, even now, in your present unbelieving state? God can surprise you with an answer that could change your life, and you will like the change.
