Houston, Before and After Harvey

[@guillermomartinez6022]

You wanna cry looking at this. If you are Houstonian then you really feel the pain. The storm won't leave Houston until Thursday or Friday from what I've seen in the news.

[@Dim.g0v]

Guillermo Martinez I'm in Houston and I don't feel any pain

[@skenney8325]

It is horrible. My entire neighborhood (I am the first street - half okay, my half) is under water. This just happened last year. EVERYTHING they owned on the streets. War zone. This will be magnified 1,000,000 times. I'm sure I will have house guests.

[@Cheeseburger.Launch.Sequence]

+Guillermo Martinez Sorry.....I actually don't want to cry. My sympathy well has run dry for all of these disaster areas. Can't quite figure out why hurricane and flood zones....tornado alley....earthquake zones.....why are these the same places full of all the hate and unrest?

[@CreezyCreations]

That's just terrible. But it's a very well made video too, I didn't realize it was that bad

[@xWeAllDie]

Mook Wolf they don't really show much of the damage on the news (here at least) and if they do you can't really compare it to anything because you've never seen it before so I felt the same way. I knew it was bad, just not that there was such a huge amount of water in some places like that freeway

[@jessietijerina2121]

Are you kidding me? It was SO much worse than this video. They didn't show the families on rooftops waiting to be rescued.

[@livcarmen1893]

It sucked

[@aaliyahandkarsynchannel9235]

[@TVWEEVIE]

Yes I live there and drive those roads all week. It was horrible..video doesn’t justify it. My brother in law, myself, and a few friends took jet skis out to help...I was literally pulling people from their houses...roofs..2nd story floors..I would bump in to things under water and realize it was a truck or street sign.. it was crazy. Worst I’ve ever seen it in Houston.

[@slangshotz2022]

Houston is one of the biggest cities and a lot of it just got tooken out. It's sad how many people are gonna have to restart or try to get back on track with their lives after losing literally everything they own. Man if you live in Houston I hope you guys are all safe, it's bad out here.

It was just as bad in Pasadena which isn't far from Houston and I'm from there we lost everything all of our stuff that can't be replaced and special momentums you will never get back or be able to replace. We lost our apt, one cat, it's devastating. Of course alot of help from FEMA but no money in the world can get you what you lost back or your fear of it happening again and again. #HOUSTONSTRONG

On a positive note, we got to miss a week of school lol. I know some schools flooded out, but hopefully we can get back to school soon... Aside from that, the flood has gone down a bit in some areas like mine. My family was able to come back to Houston after evacuating. Blessed to only have minor damages to our home. We'll probably have to replace the flooring and some parts of the ceilings and walls. Hopefully everyone recovers and stays safe. I wish the best for the ones who's homes were destroyed. 🙏🏽 Make sure to help and donate to Houston, every dollars counts. Even my family donated...

[@liiam3853]

I like how every single time when places get hit by hurricanes and they always and they get really bad flooded. They always survive.

[@MonumentToSin]

Harvey was so devastating because it didn't MOVE. Usually, hurricanes make landfall and peter out as they blow inland. But when Harvey hit, there was a pressure system in central Texas that prevented the hurricane from moving inland. So northern winds were pushing down, but the Gulf winds were blowing the storm up, and like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, Harvey's momentum prevented it from blowing in any other direction. This Category 4 storm literally *parked* on top of a major city for nearly a week! Moreover, part of the storm remained over the ocean, so as it swirled, it continued to pick up water, which is why it didn't lose steam after initial landfall and continued to dump copious amounts of rain. It was such a freakish coincidence of weather that most meteorologists had never seen anything like it before, and likely will never see one like it again.

[@Rascal77s]

Man that is crazy. The whole country needs to step up. If you're not close enough to go and help or to offer shelter to a displaced family you can still donate to the red cross. Every bit helps.

[@TaraGriffith97]

That's really deep water in some spots. I live up the road from a river that goes through my whole town. It does flood our schools baseball fields sometimes and one year I remember it crested at 23 feet and flooded our township building and 50 homes. I can't even imagine if it was 55 feet crest like Houstons rivers. Our whole town would be under water and that breaks my heart. Houston is a big city made up of smaller towns like mine and so many are now gone. I'm trying to put myself in their shoes with this but I can't even imagine. I don't care what you believe in. Pray to it, send positive vibes to it, worship to it for Houston. And not just Houston. The whole area that was affected. Everyone's focusing on this flood but it flooded and winds destroyed other parts of the state and other states. I'm not even sure what I meant to get out with this comment and I wish I could do more than donate. God (or whatever you believe in) help these people

Wow...just...wow... That's a HUGE difference. I hope everyone is safe and hope the water drains fast.
