    Buffalo bayou is insane. The doggy park, it's so deep in water you can't even tell it's there.

    It's a Twitter account with a few hundred followers. Who cares if they think Texas should or shouldn't get aid?

    Also: Texas should get aid even if GOP dicks from Texas have tried to block funding for other major storms elsewhere.

    That's hardly the most offensive thing they've posted.

    Anyone heard what they are doing with dams in lake Conroe/Houston?
    looks like a fake website. Hate the word fake now, but not of any value.

    Question: Do you think there should have been an evacuation order?

    As bad as it is now, I think it would have been even worse with 6 million on the road trying to get out.

    People have been giving Turner sh-t for that on Twitter all weekend, but it's a no-win scenario for the dude. Tell people to evacuate and you've got another Rita panic on your hands with freeways turned into parking lots. Don't tell people to evacuate and you wind up with thousands trapped in flooded homes.

    Either way, I have zero tolerance for people who try to use natural disasters to score cheap political points. On either side of the spectrum.

    telling people to have lifejackets, blow up water rafts, and the neighborhoods that always flood take them to shelters

    No, evacuation would have people in danger still and a lot of people aiding in rescues likely wouldn't be here

    It's cringe worthy when you hear national news make sure they say "Democrat Turner" when talking about the evacuation.

    The water is above the street signs on some freeways. Can you imagine people in cars in Traffic today?
