    Heartbreaking to hear the stories coming out of Texas floods. I both can and can't at the same time, imagine the pain families are going through.

    We're just listening to the reports. Awful news.

    We can follow some of developments going on over there. It is such a tragedy.
    Mind how you go, Marlin.

    I also second those concerns. They might never be found but hope that they do, dead or alive.


    Trump will not say that it's climate change, he'll blame it on something else or someone else.

    Thank you all for your concern. We are nowhere near the flood area, but certainly feel for the displaced people, and those who are grieving.
    Trump has promised federal aid. Wonder if he's going to come and throw rolls of paper towels at unaffected people like he did in Puerto Rico. State and local officials are finger pointing and saying "not my fault" because there was no warning system in place. Texas can spend millions on the "border wall" and nothing to warn citizens of impending disasters?

    Heart breaking. I have no words. Sending prayers for those who have been thru this terrible flood. Can’t imagine ever having to deal with a disaster of that magnitude .

    Well, when the supervisor in charge of sending flood warnings to everyone's phones gets fired... politicizing it is warranted, Imho. Lives , all of them, could have been saved had evacuation notices been implemented.

    So many lives lost due to Politics.
