#Texas #Flooding #Weather
As a native Texan I have to say, I never expected west Texas to flood like that. I hope everyone’s safe.
Well it's a good thing you Texans don't believe in climate change. One could say "god" is punishing Texas for something no?
I remember driving past the salt flats somewhere between El Paso and Van Horn. Oh the fond memories of driving across Texas whenever my Father got new orders to another Army Post! Sometimes it still seems crazy El Paso is closer to Los Angeles than driving east until you leave the state of Texas. Houston is almost as far away from El Paso as is Los Angeles. However, back in the 1970's it seemed like it took forever to leave Texas when we moved to Florida.
no offense why would someone even attempt to drive through that
@@jameseverly8501 It may have been a flash flood!
Poor Governence lack of proper road planning & infrastructures plague corrupt dictatorial governed red states that keep their residents poor & struggling enough to control them.
The People of Texas will be glad to hear that Thoughts and Prayers are on their way.
Don't forget the ™
LOL That was savage!
Yea, that’s what they need
Your amusement at yourself is part of why you'll never get it.
This is the first time this comment has been applied to RUclips.
Why are those people even trying to drive through that?!?! Turn around, don’t drown! If you can’t see the road or how deep it is, don’t proceed!
And then abandoning their vehicles into murky waters. There are gators in Texas.
I wouldn’t know what to do, myself. Don’t they have public service announcements what to do? Doesn’t this happen quit a bit in TX? All I know is never drive into standing water….
It didn't look that far to the other side. Figure people would stop. Maybe they couldn't back up? My guess is that they just drove through it amyway
Do you have to ask, people in Texas are not really known for their smarts now are they?
Everything is bigger in Texas, why wouldn't ego be to. "It's just some water, I can do it, I'm Murican tough." all I imagine going through their brains as they drive into a river. Three things we learn in Asia, if looks like river don't drive in to it. If it's raining hard enough, chances are the water will be overflowing. Lastly, if you don't need to go out during a storm, stay freak home and bing watch tv. Same logic applies here in the PNW as well.
Which part of "never drive over standing water" during floods did they not understand?
It happened within seconds
Everything is bigger in texas
it's Texas
@@grahambibby1895 are you saying none of them still tried to cross? 🙃
Amen!
One day I was driving on I-35 in Fort Worth, TX on a good day when all of a sudden it began to rain very hard and within a minute I was driving in flood waters up to my car windshield. A few minutes later the sky cleared up and I was no longer driving in water so, for those who have never experienced a flash flood it happens all of a sudden.
I have Sean it rain so hard the that there were place on 199 from lake Worth to Azle that would flood
@@victorbailey6233 yes Sean, than you Sean
Flash floods are sneaky.
Hail, Storms, Floods.... looks like God is very unpleasant with Texans! Just like Iran, Iraq m, Afilrica and many other places. Especially when it's continous, this shows God is getting ready to start annihilating many of you soon!
This is West Texas, where the average rainfall is 19 in (49.3 cm) a year. This amount of rain is way more than normal. This happened in the span of an hour yesterday. They didn't willing drive into it so much as they couldn't see it, with how heavy the rain was. And though it may not look like it, this road they're driving on is a major highway. It connects the bigger cities together with tiny towns and fields spread out around them. To not use this road means an extra hour or two of drive time using back roads to get around. Thats if they're not flooded
Drivers are told, time after time, do not try to drive through water that hides the road. And yet…..
Why do these people think they can cross this
Remember that you fktards said “ global warming “ is a hoax! Now enjoy the swim
Couldnt see it, I had the same problem months ago at Dallas Love Field heading out on Mockingbird Lane in a low area, at night the rain was too much to see.
They are called "Flash Floods" for a reason... The way West Texas's water handling system (rivers, creeks etc) it can have a huge rain 50+ miles away from you and it can cause the creek that normally runs about 1 foot of water to SURGE up to 15 feet.
Why would you even try to drive through that
It's called a flash flood. Google it
@@ctvxlthey drove through it while it was already flooded dipsht 😅
Because they're Texans and they let "jesus take the wheels" lol
Do you think these Texans are gonna let a little rain stop them from freedom?!?
cause god will use all that prayer power to levitate the car to safety, but just the white people.
I was caught in this storm in Albany TX a couple hours ago. Lots of Hail and structure damage in that area but luckily it didn't flood quite this bad there.
Glad you're ok! They said western Texas.. but failed to mention the area of west Texas.... That was wild waters I'm sure.
@@kbrown5218 Lubbock
@@kbrown5218 She very quickly said "Lubbock area" once. I had to go back and listen again to catch that. It's like they don't realize how much area encompasses West Texas.
Many years ago my dad worked in Dallas and had a coworker from the UK. His mum flew over to visit, but when she reserved a flight and they asked her which airport in Texas, she told the agent, "It doesn't matter, my son has a car!" She thought the different states in USA would be similar to the different counties in the UK in size.
Sadly, Texas has self relegated
itself to CC Riding ever worse
Storms! Something bout Mother
Nature's last deserts!
Why do you habitate in a Flood and Hurricane zone?
I live in the area… it has been raining a lot here lately. On Thursday I was stuck in the water while driving down those same roads! Luckily I was ok… I’m praying that everyone will be ok!
Youre the person we're laughing at.
@@HandleThiSS88 you're laughing but in Texas if you don't show up to work; you get let go. Corporations are the overlords in the state & employees are just peasants.
Abbott blamed Bud Light for the rain.
Which roads? Seriously. I have family in Smyer. Which roads flooded?
@@ladydeerheart1 Call them.
There was a similar nasty storm 4 years ago today when I and my man were in a road trip and spending the night in Amarillo. We watched the roadway flood and traffic cones float away during an extended supper.
The Next Top Situation ist on the Way and the Next step comes with more Power and that many more on the Way is, that makes the Nature Visible.
Ok, i'm from Europe and i feel like i don't understand this situation.
Did this person see a traffic jam in a lake and decided to join them?
A traffic jam combined with a flash flood and a mud slide. All it takes is a few minutes, and the water can increase exponentially.
@@branflakee4257 like stupidity
It's okay. We don't understand Texas either.
That's exactly what happened, over and over. You just don't appreciate Texas' quality of "education".
I'm from the U.S. and I don't understand it either! I think your theory might be right. We stupid sometimes.
I hope Ted's flight to Cancun isn't delayed.
The cretin has probably been there months before any rain fell😏
As my Grandma would say this is their "divine retribution" for doing what they're doing!
Let them die in floods of fury. 2nd revelation
Only some are doing it the ones in power
@@grahambibby1895 You are proof that there is no hate like Christian love.
@Jennifer Ilene Perry we will all die someday. Human activities just speed that up. Poor go first. Rich go second. But the rich will still live in a diminished world with pockets of colonies surrounded by water
@@JenniferIlenePerry Not true. Most people in Texas don't vote. If they did those people would not be in power. Voting is a responsibility, and if you don't vote, it's your fault.
As someone born and raised in Texas I am sending everyone good wishes for them and their families health and safety. I Also hope Cruz is having a terrible time on his vacation.
Quick, check the airport. Is Ted on his way to Cancun?
So he went to Cancun. Lots of Texans go there.
I was in Livingston Texas a few years back in Dec/Jan and didn't know that they can get tornadoes that time of year. Two had touched down about 50 miles west & north of me.
That is so crazy/scary for people to take their chances driving through that horrible flood!! ✨️🙏🙏✨️
Well, you never know when flooding will occur, I hope and pray for the best!!✨️🙏🙏✨️
Keep praying. Ted Cruz loves you from Cancun.
@@walkfaster Lord have mercy!!
For some, I think, more gust and no brains or whatever they call themselves doing!! 🙄 🤔

"Let me drive into a river where the road use to be. Sure nothing can wrong with driving into a river." Mindset of an average Texan.
Sure, let's pretend that innercessory prayer will have an impact on their situation.
THE WAS A ACT OF GOD A WARNING FOR WHAT'S TO COME🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
As a person who lives in a constant flood for 30 years, I can say that you are not recommended to pass that flood. It's almost 1 meter high and the stream can be very dangerous.
When you say west Texas, this is the South Plains of Texas and the Panhandle. We were in drought for a long time and about an inch of precipitation for the year until a couple of weeks ago.
And we’re still in a drought. Hopefully we learn to conserve this water better and our aquifer gets some much needed replenishment.
Most people don't understand how dry ground and water mix, or don't mix, I should say.
@@ladydeerheart1 we are getting intermittent rain most days. The ground is not as dry because of the way it’s been raining. Plus, in my area where my house is at least, it has rained intermittently over the past year and snowed. The soil was not as dry as it had been in previous years. Playa lake nearby had been seeing steady levels most of the past year unlike previous years. Very important asset they are for recharging the aquifer. So, hopefully we can continue seeing steady and not to heavy rainfalls throughout the summer.
Where did this all take place?
Woah 😮
If the weather gets any worse in Texas Ted Cruz will have to take another vacation in Mexico 😂
You mad because you can't afford to go to Cancun.
But he will blame it on his

Prayer and thoughts do not help when this flood could have been prevented by building the infrastructure instead of politicians embezzling taxpayer money while brainwashed Texans stupidly follow superstitions. Being skeptical to science is killing Texans.
That water is looking awfully brown. Texas about to be calling for the flood waters to be deported.
They'll just transport it in buses to Martha's Vineyard, with promises of shiny new jobs
Lol. That’s funny. It’s nothing but farm and ranch land through there.

@@K162KingPin "Thoughts and Prayers" is what the GOP says every time theres a mass shooting. It's their slogan.

@@STaSHZILLA420 Oh i got it, just adding to it.
The type of thing you see in Houston frequently. Especially around Buffalo Bayou/Memorial. We lived there for several years and it got old. Now in eastern Florida (West Palm) and it doesn't flood much here but we do get our share of t-storms and rain.
You do realize Houston was built in a swamp right... Bayou city for a reason. Now it's all concrete great for flood waters.
Changing weather patterns did someone mention this in the 70s and 80s being told no big deal.
Yes if I remember correctly in the 70s or 80s they thought it would be another ice age
The problem is that the climate fanatics were not born yet and so they have nothing to remember.
Considering the global temperature has be rising steadily for the past 17,000 years pretty much anyone in all of human history could have said the same thing. No rational person denies that the climate is changing or even in what direction. They only deny how much impact humans have on that change considering it has been happening for millions of years, long before humans were ever around.
@@porsche928s4 honestly an ice age would be better than an over heating planet with melting polar ice caps which contributes to rising sea levels which leads to more tropical storms, in my opinion tho.
@@ikurasugarbooty2331 speaking of the ice age how'd those end? 🤔 Don't think we had anything to do with those but the world heated up
Dang I have to take a load to Littlefield, Texas and be there Sunday night. I hope it will be okay.
stay safe brother

Stay out of the water and be safe Kenney
On the flip side, we in Ohio haven’t seen rain in like two weeks
Soooo did Ted Cruz escape to a dry desert this time? Place your bets!
He is either in Cancun or at the local grocery store filling in for a cart boy putting groceries into peoples car. That's how he deals with disaster situation.
It amazes me that people would drive through a flood especially with a car
Twice in TX & once in OK I pulled off the Hwy fast & got to high ground because it started raining hard. I know better than to be on low ground.
Not so many years ago some idiots used to ask if anybody "believed in" climate change...
I think it's happening...🤥
Do you people not know anything about weather manipulation or weather warfare? You need to read up on it
They still do. The Conservative party in Canada voted against recognizing climate change in March 2021.
"Climate Change" is a phrase with several meanings. When people say "they don't believe in climate change" what they are really saying is "I don't believe that humans have a significant impact on the rate of natural changes in the climate". Obviously that is a lot to try and say so it was simplified to "climate change". No rational person doubts that the Earths climate has been changing since the atmosphere first formed billions of years ago. What is debatable is "IF" and "HOW MUCH" human activity has impacted the rate of that change.
The Earth has been hotter than it is now at least 4 times in its history hundreds millions of years before humans existed. Clearly we did not cause those other heat increases. Scientifically speaking the Earth is still coming out of the last Ice age. There were similar sudden increases in global temperature both 13,000 and 17,000 year ago. Obviously human industrial activities were not responsible for these.
So while any rational person will agree that the climate does change, and even that human activities must have some impact, the question remains if that impact is substantial, or insignificant. Personally I believe that humans are having a significant impact on the rate at which the climate is changing. However this is inevitable. We can't stop it from happening because we can't control people all over the world to that degree. I also believe that based on study of Earths entire history the climate was going to continue a warming trend for the next few thousand years and at most we are just accelerating this, not necessarily making it any worse. Even this may scientist agree on but is impossible to "prove" meaning that it may very well be an incorrect conclusion based on variables we are not properly considering.
@@K162KingPin So many words with very little fact. Of course, when we say "climate change", we are referring to global change in climate due to pollution caused by humans. And we already have scientific evidence how much change humans have contributed. You are just conveniently choosing to ignore it. Do your homework, listen to scientists and not politicians. Follow the data, and not the money.
My anxiety level is so high due to those high waters😢SALUTE to our Rescue Hero's!!!!! This is so sad I wish them all well.
Nice roads Texas! Superior drainage as well. Kudos to your government for investing in their state and not into childish nonsense like some other states are doing. Good for you, Texas! Keep doing exactly what your doing. It's a pleasure to see.
They are doing well in Texas ! Nice comment !
I know, right? I've never seen such a well-planned road system. It's so good, it probably built itself!
Good for you. Keep fighting the good fight in the youtube comments. You are using a flood to prove some dumb opinion you have about a state you don't live in. Grow up.
I bet your life is spectacular..loooooooooooooool
@@jamesnewberry1191 BS. I live in Texas. Thank God, I live in SE Texas.
that part of texas does not usually get this kind of rain.....in houston we flood all the time
Houston highways are the worst in rain…
A few years ago the mayor of Amarillo hired a flood engineer to help with the flooding. The engineer asked "how much rainfall they get in a year." The mayor said "10 to 14 inches." The engineer said "that's not much rain!!" The mayor said "well you should be here on the day we get it!!!!"
It always amazes me to see how many drivers think that their cars are able to turn into boats
Prayers for all affected 🙏🏾🤍

It's that global stuff the libs have been talkin about since forever. Could they be right?😱😱😱
someone else already said it's divine retribution and I'd have to agree!
There are more people to be affected by it. Think about it, there are 8 BILLION people on the planet now. Just 100 year ago there were only 2 billion. That means there are now 6 billion more people to be affected by serious weather situations. Add to that the ease of disseminating information, the fact that everyone is carrying around a camera and can instantly post videos of drastic events making them available to everywhere in the world. So more people, more people reporting, ease of reporting. Is weather really worse than it was 100 years ago?
Husband: "What? I can make it through."
Wife: "Kids, open your TikTok Apps"
My brother lived in Midland for 10 years. He said they got 11 inches of rain, average, each year. He said that last year they got it on a Thursday.
Why, WHY would anyone drive thru a flood that massive??? Do people just not understand the power of water?? There could be no road underneath and you'd never know it until it's too late!! Man!!

@@theirmom4723 Like Uvalde?
Keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 hopefully it comes my way😅
Makes you wonder how many people understand what happens to your active engine when the front end of your car goes under water.
ICE require air to function.
A flood can happen faster than you think. You genuinely might not be able to tell if the water is 2inches or 2feet deep. At night, in headlights, it may just look like a sheen of water on the road. If the person in front stops or stalls, you may be boxed in by other vehicles. Just because my vehicle can make it through, doesn't mean you can. (But at least you might gauge the depth, so let me by) There was a country stretch where I grew up that commonly flooded. It made the road appear flat even though there was a dip filled with water. If you didn't know the road/weren't really aware, people drove straight in. Just because you can mentally connect the points where the road should be, doesn't mean it's still there! The foundation may be completely washed away leaving a muddy chasm.
Not a weather expert at all, but I find it odd that a tropical depression would form in the upper gulf and then move south. It's normally the opposite, is it not?
I think oh my god it is a flat earth.... No I think it's high pressure from the north that's actually pushing the system back and forth like a washing machine. It's incredible.
You said it. That is why science is hard - it is not obvious.

If only some scientists had predicted that climate inaction would lead to extreme weather events becoming more common do we could take steps to reduce our environmental impact... if only.

Do you think scientists can convince the government to pass pro-environment bill without a violent reaction from greedy corporates??

Scientist warned us in the mid 1970s how exhaust from engines, propellants in aerosol sprays, the greenhouse effect and depletion of the Ozone would have a greenhouse effect/climate change age. Some took action by removing lead from gasoline, floracarbons from aerosol sprays sparking the "roll on" deodorant era, now new Ozone safe propellants have emerged. Unfortunately factories worldwide, refineries, incinerated toxic materials, dumping waste matter in the oceans, etc. Even now a lead-free gasoline car, just one, emits 3 - 4 tons of CO² into the atmosphere yearly. That's one car! Multiple that by the number of cars globally. Oh, we were warned 50 years ago about climate change, but profit was, is more important. The same greenhouse effect has been happening over the past billion years on Venus. It's gas emissions depleted its radiation blocking atmosphere and have made Venus hotter than Mercury. We're next.

Texas. Having lived in Texas for a few years and being native of Pennsylvania, the speed limit on most of the highways is 80 mph. Which is good because if the speed limit was 65 mph, it would take forever to traverse Texas. The main problem with Texas drivers, during an extreme weather event still want to go 80! I lived in the "pan handle" part of Texas, northern Texas where it snows about 3 - 4 times in the winter. You'd think since this happens every winter you'd drive to the weather conditions, not in Texas. Every snow event there are hundreds of car accidents from driving too fast. It's like the heat of the summers fries their brains, especially the common sense sector. All these driver's caught in a flood, the road probably was already flooded and they tried to drive through it anyway, at high speed. This stuff is not surprising to me. Loco en la cabeza! 🤯
My home town of San Angelo tx in west Texas..had a Noa ark flood in September 1936 when the Concho river raised 50'!! Destroyed everything

You'd still ruin your car's electrical systems. Water past the door will still get in and ruin your carpet. Unfortunately the best thing to do is just avoid it at all costs. Even if it means adding a lot of time to your journey
@@saramae9878 depends the vehicle. it's fairly easy to make a vehicle "water tight" most vehicles are water tight. besides smaller cars with no door seals.
Florida can take on 20 inches before flooding, but Texas is drowning in 5 💀💀
West Texas is primarily made of rock. That's why so few people live there and why so few people are affected by flooding. Florida is made primarily out of sand. Guess which one absorbed more water. Take your time, think it through. Most of Florida will also be under water withing the next 50 years due to raising sea levels as most of Florida is barely above sea level. Only about 3% of Texas will be affected.
We know you can take down "20 inches"
In Asia we know three things well.
1. If it looks like a River, it’s a River.
2. If your road looks like a River, it’s a River.
3. Unless your car is a boat, it doesn’t belong in the river.
Lucky numbers are 3,5,32 special is #5
And they're complaining because? It's West Texas. Be thankful!
It’s flooding in the western part of Texas 😮I’m in east Texas it ain’t foooding over here but I want to know how flooding works like how in the world is it flooding in one area of Texas like where does the water stop to cause it to flood an area asking for a friend lol or I could just google lol
If you Google United State Geological Survey you can find several elevation data maps in total 3d. Some are even already color coder for water, dirt etc.
I know it's flat out there 😮I was told that when the land has been dry for long periods and the rain comes down all at once, it can't soak it up fast enough. 😮 I love the rain I hope we get some 🎉🎉🎉
Edit: My cousin is I. East Texas near Jacksonville 😊
Nacogdoches just experienced a terrible flood in East Texas a week or two ago.
Ya know, they kinda have voted for these events to keep increasing in frequency and strength. Just say'in...
We could use the rain ngl this wet spring has been a blessing
yup
I guess you mean that climate change is real? Or that Joe Biden is the best President to ever destroy the economy and the morals of the nation? Not sure what you mean, but I guess you think global warming is real just like it was back in the 1920's.
I hope everyone is safe ..
Wow, .... Westen Texas, what a good job of defining a place where the floods are. .... Good Job NBC, .... everybody should get a raise in pay for making this a story that anybody could understand.
I get it if a someone didn't realize it was that deep. But who are the idiots behind that person that saw the water up to the window and said "Hmmm, he didn't make it but I can!"
Oh those poor anti-climate change voting Texas people just got hit with extreme weather... So so sad.
You really think this has never happened before? Nothing the govt or anyone in the world could do to change this. It is called nature.
Same suddenness you can get in Albuquerque, which loses people in the arroyos regularly. But what a lake! Unbelievably huge! Off to the right you can't see the land. This water goes right over the curvature of the Earth!
prayers
Lol maybe they can call the flooding woke and try to deport it. Thoughts and prayers
hahhahaa i love you
MAGA enjoy...if you advise them to invest in a better infrastructure they will tell you.
"its against unborn child's right".
blaming trump lol
Another childish comment.
That's the argument they use to keep the 2nd amendment limited to defending property. The argument here is "That's socialism"
Prayer and thoughts do not help when this flood could have been prevented by building the infrastructure instead of politicians embezzling taxpayer money while brainwashed Texans stupidly follow superstitions. Being skeptical to science is killing Texans.
