There have been a few comments about Harvey but no dedicated Thread so here it is. Harvey is still kicking around and the water is going to continue to rise for another week.
While watching Fox reporting from the Convention Center, where all Evac/rescued people moved to. In the background was LE doing pat downs and searching all bags. What are they looking for? Drugs, alcohol, weapons. A lot of folks in Texas have guns and if I was in their situation I would have a couple with me and ammo to feed them. In Fl there is a special Law that allows carry during evac without a permit.
I looked for info/Rules on Harvey Evac Centers, specifically firearms but only found locations, dogs allowed and not much else.
We know during Katrina what LE did, trying to confiscate all firearms. What are they doing in TX? We know a lot of these people are going to be relocated.
What are they doing in TX?
Seems like not much. Yea, thats a real photo. They've been rescued since, but...really? Who's choking this chicken?
The general population was told not to evacuate because last time (Rita), as many people were killed in the evacuation as the hurricane. Nice uninformed, shameless, attempt to make it all about politics though. Jeez.
So you already knew the answer to your own question. Feel free to start another 5 page "Your thread is here" diatribe to explain it to us. "Respectfully" of course.......
Texas politicians in General failed under this storm. Whether Republican or Democratic they all failed. Days before Harvey came ashore The National Hurricane Center was forecasting Harvey to stall over SE Texas when it came ashore and meander for days. The forecast stated the steering currents were going to totally break down and Harvey was just going to meander over SE Texas, places East (Houston) of the center would see the greatest rainfall rates. This was the forecast at least 3 days before Harvey made landfall. The said there could be widespread areas with 30+ inches of rain with some areas seeing over 50 inches. This was forecasted for areas like Houston and points East who made no evacations ahead of time. Instead of evacuating the high risk areas and places like Nursing homes at high risk for flooding the did nothing. Houston and other areas of SE Texas floods easy with all it's rivers and reservoirs and politicians of the towns that flooded new that and did nothing.
