Full Documentary: Cruel And Unusual

My dog was a stray rescued during Hurricane Harvey. She was flown to Washington State with other animals, she is my soul dog and the love of my life. She is still terrified of water and storms, I can’t imagine what she went through and what everyone had to go through. God bless the rescuers, everyone who was lost and all of the people affected.

[@facepalmdaily4404]

I'm a video producer in Corpus Christi. 24 hours after the storm passed I was teamed up with an AEP crew going out to document their restoration efforts. We were among the first to enter Port A and Rockport after Harvey left. I'm tell you right now, the real story of Harvey isn't the destruction. It's how the community came together and made people whole again. That was the most inspirational things I have ever seen and taken part in.

[@tara382]

I was nearly 8 months pregnant with our 5th child when Harvery hit Sugar Land. We were told if we didn't evacuate, we wouldn't be rescued. We left when they said. It still took like 8 hours to get from Sugar Land to somewhere in north Houston. Most roads were already impassable. We had to go the wrong way on the highway in some areas. Cars were abandoned right there in the middle of the highway. It felt so apocalyptic.

[@Schumanized]

Maria came here 🇵🇷 the day after my birthday. We spent 4 months without power and water. The devstation was unfathomable. It was the first time in my now 49 years that i felt true fear.

[@HPNana-]

All I heard and saw was about How Harvey, Irma and Maria affected Texas, Florida, Louisiana but not a word of how long it took to receive the much help and assistance from the US was given to Puerto Rico. 2795 lives lost, either from direct impact or of the aftermath of the storms. To this day, when travelling to PR, from an airplane you can see blue tarps over the most impoverished areas...

[@Government-EconomicsTeacher]

Im a HS teacher. We organized a backpack drive to get new school supplies shipped to kids who lost everything in Harvey at that high school. To hear the stories firsthand from the teachers on the ground as we communicated with them was heartbreaking. Many kids were renters with no renters insurance. Many were low income families with the clothes on their back and no money in a bank. Tragic.

The images of Houston in and around the metropolitan area, & and of course Irma approaching Miami at category 5 strength is haunting and horrifying in my head 🗣️ .. people and myself for years to come will never ever forget these monster of hurricanes 🌀 ... I already knew the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season was gonna get much worse than expected

[@grayrabbit2211]

The real problem with Irma in Florida was the substantial amount of rain received in the prior two weeks. 16" IIRC. When Irma came, the ground was already soaked and saturated. Irma's winds in the Keys were ferocious, but most of Florida saw only tropical-storm-force winds at worst. BUT, with the ground being saturated, when these weak winds came, the trees toppled over due to the soft ground. Other than the Keys, I don't remember seeing any non-tree-caused-damage.

[@javorisscott4288]

Harvey was a monster storm that I was surprised to not get any flooding from. Living in Alief, sitting between addicks and barkers Reservoir we never flood. Everybody else floods because when they release water, it goes through bufflo and brays Bayou causing them to spill they’re banks, flooding everything from cinco to Baytown, and once that happens the brazos and San jancinto rivers aren’t far behind 6:18 that’s what I’m talking about

Hurricanes are a normal part of the Earth's climate. They distribute excess heat from the tropics. Large hurricanes are not new. Lesson? Prepare. It's nice living on the coast but there is a price.

Hurricane Harvey... We were expecting that bad b to hit Corpus Christi. I was in college at the time, I remember how panicked people were, and how long the gas & grocery lines were in Kingsville the day before the storm was supposed to hit. It was almost apocalyptic. The lines on the highways headed North and West were insane as well. My family and I did not evacuate--we figured it was too late anyway and it would be worse to get stuck out on the road. Thankfully, all we got was a light rain and a bit of a breeze. Unfortunately, our neighboring towns and cities did not fare as well. I moved to Houston last year (21.) There are STILL people and places recovering from Harvey.

[@jeffbryan4019]

I was penpals with Cantore for a few years . Great guy . The worst conditions I've experienced was Florence in 2018 in Wilmington ,NC . The worst damage I've ever seen in person was Hugo in SC in 89 . Wilma is always cited for record low pressure but the two strongest landfalling hurricanes are 1935 Labor Day of 882 mb and Camille of 1969 which was 900 mb at Bay St Louis MS . Remember that many early storms were not measured and our so called unprecedented storms are actually not because we don't have all of the figures . The Harvey rains are certainly astonishing and the enormous storm surges of Camille and Katrina truly frightening . I believe if we had knowledge of all storms that a few unnamed storms would well compare to the infamous ones of recent decades .

It's not like they don't know a hurricane is coming, days out. Why was the cat left behind at all? The horrors that cat must have gone through! Lucky it was found alive, but no thanks to her owner.

[@grayrabbit2211]

I'd imagine that cat probably knew what was coming. My rabbits have always been huge predictors of tropical systems. Surprisingly accurate too. The night before Hurricane Charley (2004) hit, I was in Tampa, FL, and my rabbit was going absolutely nuts. She dragged all of her things to the front door, including me by the pant-leg. I had a difficult time getting her to calm down and go to sleep. The next morning she was still scratching at the front door, wanting to leave. Right as the hurricane turned, she curled up on the couch and went to sleep in complete peace. Truly amazing.

[@grayrabbit2211]

Historically, we've been in a quiet hurricane period for the past 3-4 decades. Look back from ~1900-1970 and you'll see that hurricanes were far more active and far stronger, and that's with the limited weather technology/data we had then. Now the problem are all of the people who've moved to the coasts since air conditioning became popular. Not to mention "northern-style" construction homes which have no business being in hurricane-prone areas. Traditionally homes built in the Caribbean were built of concrete and had tile floors. No wood, no drywall, nothing that would get damaged in a storm. Just hose down the walls, push the mud out the back door and life went on.

The local goverment collapsed, FEMA and military forces just struggling trying to reach hard hit areas, and in the coming days, no drinking water, very little food available and no fuel. I finally had power back in my home 9 MONTHS later. Damages estimated in $92 billions($92,000,000,000). The US assigned $27 billions($27,000,000,000), less than one third of total damaged.

Because there is another factor then just wind. FLOODING. The flooding causes 70% of the damage and Harvey had the worst flooding out of the 3. Plus Katrina was weaker than Harvey and still costed more. Wind isn’t everything in a hurricane. Btw if you don’t understand the categories are based of winds, but winds only do 30% of the damage.
