So sad
This is one of the saddest photos that I have seen of the mess that the Hurricane has been racking on Texas. This senior home was flooded, and the residents were sitting in the water before help arrived. One of the women was knitting, that would be my way of staying calm.
Thankfully they were all rescued. Airlifted out. This shouldn’t have happened. Stay safe Texas.
Oh, those global warming deniers, just ask those who got over 30″ of rain.

Just can’t wrap my head around this. Just can’t. In my home town, in the early 80’s, we had a terrible snow storm. The snow mobile club brought staff in to the county home in which I worked. I volunteered to be picked up and a guy pulled in and off we went! I worked in food service then, instead of the recreation therapy that has been the other half of my life. There were cereal boxes strewn throughout the kitchen as the night shift prepared breakfast for 180 people. Cots in the corridor for staff. We all chipped in. I got paid triple time that day because I wasn’t scheduled and it was an emergency. I don’t understand why these fellow humans had to wait. I don’t understand why they weren’t evacuated as a preemptive strike for their own safety. Heartbreaking.

That is very sad, you just wonder why they weren’t moved sooner. Hope they will all be okay.
