HOUSTON—Tropical Storm Harvey continued to pummel Texas, paralyzing greater Houston and testing it on every front as the region braces to take on more water in the coming days.
Desperate rescue efforts were still underway late Monday, even as the city strained to perform basic functions. Mayor Sylvester Turner said Houston Police had rescued more than 3,000 people during the storm, including 1,000 on Monday alone, while the city’s fire department said it had received more than 2,300 calls for service since midnight.
The death toll remains unclear. On Monday evening, Mayor Sylvester Turner said three deaths in Houston had occurred during the storm but could not confirm reports that a family of six had died in their vehicle. Authorities said they fear the death toll will rise.
Today is August 29th, the anniversary of Hurricane David. Not a word about it in our media. The same thing happened on May 29th……oh how quickly we forget. The calyspsonian Dice says that a history that is forgotten is one that is doomed to be repeated. Lets not forget what we have been through and how far we have come…….
ADMIN: We publish stories on Hurricane David every other year. Here is our last one, which was published in 2016 and which we updated today:
