      Agreed! I remember I cried when we had the hot August sun shining brightly. I told myself I was never going to complain about hot August days again. A week of cloudy skies and nonstop rain changed everything.

      I grew up in Houston. I remember when Katrina happened, and lots of people came seeking refuge. We opened our homes to fellow Americans in need, and it's good to see that kindness carried on.
      We help each other out, it's what we do :)

      ANY CATETRASTROPHY LIKE THIS IS HORRIFIC BUT KATRINA WAS WORSE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DIED AND THEY ARE STILL RECOVERING. I BELIEVE IN PUERTO RICO WHERE THEY ARE STILL RECOVERING THAT IT WAS FAR WORSE THAN THEY ARE TELLING US. DEATH I'M REFERRING TOO!!! THOSE POOR PEOPLE ARE TRULY DEVASTATED BECAUSE IT IS AN ISLAND AND FILLED WITH WEAK FOUNDATIONS ON THEIR HOUSES SO THERE ARE GONE TREES ETC... THIS IS HARD SEEING PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THIS WONDERING HOW LONG BEFORE CHRIST COMES..... PRESERVER IN PRAYERS LOVE THE ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS MINDS SOUL WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH....

I had a little boat to help people through the waters. I felt bad because the big boat was not running but we did what we could. No matter the outcomes Houston will be strong forever. #HoustonStrong.

    Harvey was devastating. My one brother's house was flooded. What some people don't realize, Harvey made landfall close to Corpus Christi and moved up the Texas coast. Pretty much the entire coastline was flooded from Corpus all the way into Louisiana. Devastating flooding. I lived and still live about 35 miles northeast of Houston. At one point my small town was at the top of the list for most rainfall. It was unreal how fast the water rose! And it was so cold, which is unusual for hurricane temps. 4 1/2 years later and there are still some people trying to recover.

We found a apartment and a lot of my family stuff was ok but we still lost a lot. I almost cry thinking about that day. I had to walk in the flood water. We called for help a few times but no one came. My family is good know and have been living in the apartment for 3 years know

I did the best I could to save our home. We were so much more fortunate than others. Just 3 blocks from the house flooding was at 6 ft yet somehow it didn't reach mine. I prayed the whole time and felt that God put his arms around me keeping me safe. Soon after we moved away from Houston to be more inland.

    The messed up thing is that home builders in Houston are still building homes in flood areas and are even covering water with soil and grass and building homes on top of it it’s a disaster waiting to happen for the owner

      Many troops are deployed. We have the National Guard, who is currently helping with rescues. Just because they aren't shown in this video doesn't mean they aren't there.

    This is crazy it’s been three years and we still haven’t got help with my mothers house she was the one going in the back of the ambulance and I was on back of the truck and my brother was the one interviewed and steering the truck. We’re still looking for resources to help her with her house. We stayed in La Quinta hotel for about a year and half afterwards just thankful we made it through it so many things could of went wrong that night . My mother is on oxygen and was getting close to running out of the spare oxygen cans she had and 911 had her on hold for literally 2 hours and then eventually just. Never answered I know they were overwhelmed with calls so I know there was nothing could do anyways. And the water was freezing it was ridiculous. But I’m so thankful for the responders that came on boat that came up with a plan to pull the truck. Hopefully I can help get her house fix sometime.

    Ive never lived in houston, but why did the city not have levees in place and pump stations to keep water from going back up the storm drains. Also, why do people still keep building at sea level when they know this will happen at least once every 10 years

      Houston lies on a fairly flat plain. During Harvey it rained so much that the bayous that empty into the Gulf couldn’t carry the water fast enough to keep the bayous from overflowing their banks. The Addicks and Barker Reservoirs were built to mainly protect western and downtown Houston. They work by collecting the water upstream and then releasing the water into the bayou in a controlled manner. Harvey dumped so much water that water was spilling into the bayou at an uncontrolled rate and they had to open the floodgates more because the dam was threatening to breach. If the dam had broken during Harvey, thousands more would have died. The Army Corps of Engineers has a very tough decision to make during Harvey and I believe they made the correct choice. They chose to sacrifice homes immediately downstream from the reservoirs in order to limit the amount of flooding that could have been done if the dam broke.

    So devastating & sad. When the governor says " Our infrastructure is designed for a 100 year flood"...that's a problem. Now they have a once in 1000 year flood. Why would anyone build a whole city in a massive flood plain? Every one donate $$$...they are going to need it.
