"Texans are waiting to dry out, see power restored, and rise above the impact of Hurricane Beryl," said Nim Kidd, the chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management
Houston is well-known for flooding considering how Overbuilt it is and covered with concrete in Asphalt. Everyone should be thankful this wasn't a much larger and stronger ...👍 I've been through six hurricanes, one of which was Andrew.
@@LifetimeNewYorker ....You should really withhold your comments, you're not as smart as you think you are. I never mentioned I live in Houston or Texas at all. But considering you list yourself as a New Yorker, I can see where the self entitlement comes from...👍👍👍🖕
3 am tonight will be 7 days.. I am 50 years old,was born and raised here,I have seen some bad storms come through in that time.. In those 50 years this is the first time I have been without power for this long. Usually you see trucks staged before storms,I did not see anything staged this time.. Staging equipment is a good tactic but costly.. It looks like they went with the 'hope' tactic.. It's a terrible tactic but much cheaper on the front end.
Why does the power ALWAYS go off during inclement weather in Houston? I’ve never experienced constant power outage without changes/modifications to the norm.
@@richardmesser1091 1800'S COWBOY DAYS????? HAHHAHHA NO THANKS, LET YOU SUFFER, I LIKE 72 DEGREES WHILE ITS 105 OUTSIDE!! AND NO STINKY REFRIGERATOR FILLED WITH ROTTEN MEAT!
It's too bad that they didn't have some kind of system for where it floods like a pipeline that will pipe the water somewhere to a huge retaining Pond so that they can reuse The water for when it's Really dry
No it's not. Per NOAA: On the century time scale (e.g., since 1900) there has been no significant trend in annual numbers of U.S. landfalling tropical storms, hurricanes, or major hurricanes (Fig. 1). A decreasing trend since 1900 in the propagation speed of tropical storms and hurricanes over the continental U.S. has been reported. Basin-wide annual counts of tropical storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes since the late 1800s show strong rising trends, but after taking into account changes in observing capabilities, studies suggest no strong evidence for a significant upward trend
Right. I remember just a few short years ago, there were no hurricanes on the gulf coast, no tornadoes in parts of the country that have been called "tornado alley" for years and years, no flooding anywhere. I never understood why those houses on the coast or near rivers were built on stilts years and years ago. Just blue skies year round.
