            That is complete and utter bullshit. This storm is not unprecedented. It is not stronger or more intense than anything before. It is not even that unusual or unexpected.

            Stop trying to peddle alarm through ignorance and lack of perspective.

                    No... the cell phone companies were supposed to update their systems so they could allow localized warning systems for things like flash flooding, Hurricanes, tornadoes and yes earthquakes..

                    It would give emergency services much more localized warning systems than what we have now.. but Trump's FCC gave them the pass...

                                Totally normal! Nothing to see here! Houston can bootstrap they don't need any federal funds for such normal weather conditions.. I mean hey this happens all the time..

                                            Trump was mad at our governor for calling him a fraud during the election. Trump also tried to Leverage California dropping its bill to make California a sanctuary state, in return for federal disaster aid for the breached dam.

                                            The governor had to write two letters and pull many strings over many days to finally get Trump to release federal support, which California pays to the feds in hundreds of millions of dollars surplus a year.

                                                    Your "guessing" at facts based on comments from someone you would normally discount out of hand is laughable.

                                                    Even if it is the worst in 500 hundred years doesn't mean that bad storms don't happen frequently. It just means this new storm has set the new record. It doesn't mean that all of the previous bad storms get erased from memory.

                                                        Significant Houston Area Floods

                                                        List of wettest tropical cyclones in the United States (Texas)

                                                        The most serious threat from tropical cyclones in Texas residents is from flooding, from both Gulf of Mexico hurricanes and tropical storms and the remnants of Eastern Pacific storms. The worst aspect about tropical cyclones is that the weaker they are, the more efficient they can be at producing heavy rains and catastrophic flooding. Systems with sprawling circulations, such as Hurricane Beulah, also tend to make good rainmakers.[93] Slow moving systems, such as Tropical Storm Amelia also can produce significant rainfall over the Lone Star State. Amelia's storm total rainfall is the most recorded within the contiguous United States.[94] Tropical Storm Claudette holds the national 24-hour rainfall record for the United States, with 42 inches (1,100 mm) falling within a day.[95]

                                                        And, predictably, lost in the all the media hype around this storm is the fact that it has been 12 years since the last major hurricane made landfall on the US mainland. And this current storm is the first cat 4 storm to hit Texas since 1961.

                                                            RIGHT NOW this agency is tasked with telling us exactly what this storm is going to do for the next three or four days. This agency is going to tell us where the rain is going to fall, who needs to evacuated, and what resources are going to be needed and where.

                                                            And Trump wants to reduce this agency by 20%? To save money? Because, you know, predicting where hurricanes will land isn't important at all.
                                                            Too bad you do not understand English; or are you suggesting that something Trump WANTS TO DO (as in THE FUTURE) somehow affects something that is already happening?

The Medina River crested at 45 feet (14 m), breaking the record for flood stage reached on the river that was set in 1919 at 43 feet (13 m) as well as breaking the record for water flow, or the rate in which water flows down the river, at 79 billion gallons per day.[37][42] Additionally, the Brazos River had its highest flooding since 1957.[36] Records were also set for flowing on the Guadalupe, which flowed at 149 billion gallons a day, more than twice the previous record and nearly 1500 times its usual rate of 100 million gallons per day.[37] The storm total of 48 inches (1,200 mm) measured at Medina is the wettest known storm total rainfall amount for both the state of Texas and any tropical cyclone impacting the continental United States.[49] A 12-hour total of 26 inches (660 mm) of rain at Abilene was an extreme example of the precipitation.[3]

                                                                    It's what dictators do.. Now he can make it all about "him granting" Texas money..

                                                                    Trump will be removed by impeachment or by the people. One thing is sure he won't last 4 years.

And this current storm is the first cat 4 storm to hit Texas since 1961.

I know it will be hard for you to understand it so just repeat to yourself - "there is no increase in storm activity due to global warming". In fact they have been decreasing. Globally. Maybe someday you'll get it but I doubt it.

It just means this new storm has set the new record. It doesn't mean that all of the previous bad storms get erased from memory.

They are expecting twenty-five inches more. It's possible we are only at the halfway point, meaning it's going to get much, much worse.

They are expecting twenty-five inches more. It's possible we are only at the halfway point, meaning it's going to get much, much worse.

But as pointed out above hurricane Amelia in 1978 dropped 48 inches of rain. Others were also quite bad. So again, this storm is not without precedent. It is not a new phenomenon caused by man-made global warming.

                                                                                                Trump was mad at our governor for calling him a fraud during the election. Trump also tried to Leverage California dropping its bill to make California a sanctuary state, in return for federal disaster aid for the breached dam.

                                                                                                The governor had to write two letters and pull many strings over many days to finally get Trump to release federal support, which California pays to the feds in hundreds of millions of dollars surplus a year.
                                                                                                Trump sent aid and declared TX eligible for federal aid a week ago.

                                                                                                    This is a hurricane that slammed into the coast, sat there, returned to the gulf, picked up more steam, and is about to slam back into Texas. Harvey has already dropped more rain than Amelia, and we are only half way through this.

                                                                                                    Just to give you an example.... The damage during Amelia is $110 million dollars. Harvey is going estimated at $60 billion.

                                                                                                            However, I think right now our President can be doing so much more. He's signed some papers to allow some aid in, great. However, there is so much more that can be done.

                                                                                                            For starters, instead of spending the day on a photo op that won't even involve seeing Houston, why not stay in Washington DC and working with Congress on a massive aid package?

                                                                                                            Then he can start moving forward on some more long term things...
                                                                                                            - Stop talking about reducing funding for government agencies that can help during natural disasters.
                                                                                                            - Stop telling us climate change isn't real.
                                                                                                            - Set up some kind of national urban search and rescue teams so thousands of people can independently operate with their own transportation, food, water, etc, so they can operate for a week or so in floods. This would be similar to how California handles fires where local fire departments respond to large fires hundreds of miles away.

                                                                                                            All Trump is doing right now is the basics - the bare minimum. He's been in this job eight months now, he is not new to this; He has the vast resources of the entire United States government at his disposal... He needs to gather his staff together and say "What can we do to help the people of Texas AND make a long term change where we can help people during natural disasters for decades to come.

                                                                                                                            This is a hurricane that slammed into the coast, sat there, returned to the gulf, picked up more steam, and is about to slam back into Texas. Harvey has already dropped more rain than Amelia, and we are only half way through this.

                                                                                                                            Just to give you an example.... The damage during Amelia is $110 million dollars. Harvey is going estimated at $60 billion.
                                                                                                                            Yes I know that Amelia was a tropical storm. Does that somehow discount the amount of rain it dropped? One of the bits I posted further up actually said tropical storms can be more efficient at dropping lots of rain because of their generally slow moving nature.

                                                                                                                            And yes I see now that Harvey has surpassed Amelia. It still doesn't mean that it has anything to do with man made global warming at all. It's just a freak set of natural and unfortunate circumstances.

And worse still you are a denier of reality. You are in no position to be telling anybody to grow up when you approach the subject with the mentality and naivete of an 8 year old.

                                                                                                                            It should be really simple for you - look at the chart I posted further up. It clearly shows that there is no increase in tropical cyclone activity. In fact there is a slight decrease. Do you deny that or do you simply ignore it because it causes you cognitive dissonance?

                                                                                                                            It is naive zealots like you that are set to upend civilization based on a lie.

                                                                                                                                    looks now like a donkey hitting the same stone every year.
                                                                                                                                    They build houses like that in the US as well in coastal areas, but usually even those get destroyed in these kinds of storms due to wind and the house being higher up. Hurricanes are not just flooding but also high wind.

                                                                                                                                    Here are some specifically designed for Hurricanes in flood areas.. These survived because they were built for the high winds as well but as you see just being on stilts didnt save the others..

How about Trump figures out exactly who he needs to talk to in order to get this started, and demands they get on freaking airplane RIGHT NOW back to Washington DC to start planning this. Then if need be, call all of Congress back to vote on it. It's a natural disaster impacting the fourth largest city in the United States; Surely Congress wouldn't wait to take action. Right?
