I worked as a snow plow dispatcher in central Pennsylvania for twenty years, from 1992 to 2012. An executive from AccuWeather once told my boss that ANY weather forecast past three days is a crapshoot!

Beware, of flood damaged car sales, you may unknowingly buy a vehicle, that's been in a flood, components, wiring, and cables, are not sealed against Water intrusion.

Thank you for this! I needed a good laugh. Pinned and saved. As proof! You have crystallized the true essence of being a Texan. At least I know I'm not crazy now.

A lot of people are coming out now in Texas and saying that they did get the weather alerts and it was on the news even though certain celebrities like Rosie O’Donnell are bashing the Trump administration and saying that he’s to blame for all of this. Of course those people are delusional and we don’t listen to them anyway. This is a great article. The point that I like most is that everyone should be using your common sense. Pay attention, use your own eyes and just have some damn common sense about the situation

This is the reason for the flooding in Texas.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is mounting an investigation into secret weather manipulation by your CIA and the WEF,

(a HAARP culmination).

I'm giving everything we have to her.

Amen.

But in the modern world, it's ALWAYS someone else's fault.

Especially if that someone else has a somewhat orange tan.

Thank you

I am no longer in Texas and over a span of 22 years saw exactly what you are speaking of.

Turn around don’t drown was a campaign started in Texas, now hearing it used a lot,but not enough!

Maintenance on flood mitigation, when it is finally done after 10-20 years is not always well maintained, and causes bigger debris problems.

People have gotten complacent, as You rightly pointed out! LOOK AT THE SKY FOLKS! YOU are the one responsible for you and yours safety!!!!!!!
