It's Texas. Usually looters are convicted and executed by the neighbors.Any precedent for that I wonder?
Valid point.It's Texas. Usually looters are convicted and executed by the neighbors.
It's important your ten-thousandth post be about something meaningful. And the flood of the millennium is definitely that event.
(Glad to hear you're still okay, BTW)
Looks very like Venice.
LEO said this A.M., looting=minimum 5 years up to life. :thumbsup;
Someone screwed up their research. Lake Michigan alone holds 1180 cubic miles (~1300 T gallons) of water, so what Houston got was a drop in the bucket. If the entirety of the Great Lakes fell from Harvey, there wouldn't be anything left of Texas.They also showed the statistic that Harvey dropped 9 trillion gallons of water or enough to fill the Great Lakes twice.
Good point!
I actually saw the sun this morning. Finally.
Our weather station says the storm dropped right about 48in although the news put it at 52in for our area.

Would have responded sooner but I was trying to get my drone back to being airworthy yesterday evening. Had a damaged motor which I replaced and some FPV gear waiting to be installed. I wanted to take some aerial shots of the flooding around here.
Unfortunately after installing everything I found out they sent me the wrong motor.
So no cool video for awhile. I can get a replacement but Amazon keeps saying the part delivery might be delayed. Can't imagine why....
Oh and:
As much as he is a christian nutbag 24/7, gotta give him props for all the help he did.
Also, for anyone that doesn't know Houston there is a man that goes by the name "Mattress Mack" that runs an overpriced furniture store (albeit, the furniture is probably the best quality in the entire city vs. chain store junk). He is well known in the city for being good at what he does as well as being generous. As much as he is a christian nutbag 24/7, gotta give him props for all the help he did. Certainly more than the million dollar televangelist retard Joel Osteen.
He basically opened his doors to his 2 or 3 locations and let everyone sleep on the mattresses in his store (which are huge - his stores are gigantic)

I mean, compared to that Ostean scammer, this Max fellow sounds like an actual Christian.
I'm going to guess you spend no time actually researching to see if that's true. Do you think they take out banner ads to flog their community work? Our little church packs 120 bags with 3 meals worth of food every Friday during the school year, takes them to area schools during the school day, and when the kids are in class, they are put in the lockers of the kids who have been identified as at risk for not having enough to eat on the weekends (when they aren't getting 2 meals a day at school). The kids getting the meals aren't embarrassed by having to go pick up food in front of their classmates - they just put the bag in their backpack at the end of the school day when they go to their locker. All the food is donated, all the labor to pack is volunteer, the delivery is volunteer.Not all businessmen are bad - but I have yet to see a church that actually gives back to a community in any real significant way other than insignificant shit like an occasional food drive.
Ummmm... Guys? We may be in for round two: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics_at1.shtml?cone#contents

We collected 90 backpacks packed with school supplies and gave them away as "prizes" to poorer kids at the local community day, as the school conspired with us to show us which kids needed the help so they could be given tickets to "try to win". Nobody is calling the TV station to get it on the 6 PM news.
There were 7 other community-oriented activities this year that were similar. We're looking for where there are needs and trying to do what we can to address them.
I'm not saying "yay us" - I'm saying you don't know what you're talking about. And I know our church is not unique in this way.
Glad to hear you survived this insane mayhem and congrats on 10K post club!. As for Harvey, this site is saying 24 trillion gallons, https://www.washingtonpost.com/news...n-texas-and-louisiana/?utm_term=.64fcce8f67c0 Jesus Christ this is just unthinkable, I donated $20 at the local Publix today during check-out, wish I could afford more TBO. If every working man/woman in the US all chipped in $5-50 it might make a small dent in the unimaginable suffering millions are going through right now.Good point!
