      Why in hell would you tether a horse where he couldn't get away if he had to?!!!

    Polk county TEXAS is subject to severe flooding when the river goes over its banks above flood stage. Unprecedented repeated heavy rains . They are worried the dam could collapse. Stupid is as stupid does. They must want somebody they love come toss some paper towels 🧻🧻😛🤣💀

    Let them stay on their own land. They didn't need first responders 100 years ago, they don't need them now. These people know how to take care of themselves. If they don't want to participate in government evacuation, they shouldn't have to.

      😅 There is a Polk County in Iowa, but I highly doubt that is the one they are referring to here .

    If they don't heed the warning then first responders shouldn't come to their rescue when they can't leave! Period! I'm a floridian so trust me I know when to listen!
