20″ of rain has cause cataclysmic conditions in Houston Texas, EVEN SHARKS IN THE WATER ON LAND!! 

 

At least 5 dead, hundreds rescued from high water in Houston flooding

(CNN)At least five people have been killed in flooding that has covered the Houston region, officials said Monday, forcing the evacuation of hundreds of people and knocking out power to thousands of homes and businesses.

“This is a life-threatening emergency,” the city said on an emergency website. “Houston residents should avoid travel at all costs today.”
    Four of the deaths happened in hard-hit Harris County, officials said.
    The driver of an 18-wheeler was found dead inside the cab after he drove into high waters, a Harris County constable reported, and another man was found dead in a submerged car, the Houston Fire Department said.
    Two others were found dead after driving around a barricade on Houston’s west side, Harris County Judge Ed Emmett said.
    In neighboring Waller County, a 56-year-old man was found dead in a submerged vehicle, County Judge Trey Duhon said.
    “It is believed the car rode off the road and into a ditch,” Duhon said.

    Crews performed 1,200 high-water rescues as of Monday afternoon, Harris County Emergency Management said.
    “There’s flooding in every part of Houston,” Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner said, telling stranded citizens. “We will rescue you.”
    At least 1,000 homes were flooded in Harris County, according to Emmett. Some people were trapped in their homes or attics, fire department spokesman Ruy Lozano said.
    The water was too deep for crews to reach them in high-water vehicles, so rescuers were trying to get to those people in boats, he said.
    Nine hospitals in the region were closed to additional patients because of the flooding, the mayor said. Three apartment buildings were evacuated and residents were being sheltered at a mall, Turner added.
     
    Emmett said Monday afternoon he estimates 240 billion gallons of rain has fallen in the Houston area. That estimate may soon rise: Rain and thunderstorms are forecast for Houston through late Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.
    A flash flood watch is in effect for the Houston area through Tuesday morning, with “life-threatening” flash flooding possible Monday night, the weather service said. As little as an inch of rain could aggravate the flooding, it said.
    Emmett called it the most significant flood event since Tropical Storm Allison in 2001, which left 41 people dead. It caused more than $5 billion in property damage in Harris County alone, according to the county’s Flood Control District.
    At the Royal Phoenician apartment complex in north Houston, the brown floodwaters submerged cars in the parking lot early Monday, a resident said. He posted video to Twitter later showing the waters had gone down slightly, though levels still reached car windshields.
    Another north Houston resident posted video of residents leaving their flooded homes in a canoe as the rain continued to fall.
    Portions of I-10 and numerous roads throughout the metropolitan area were closed, as were many government offices. City bus and rail service shut down early Monday amid “severe and ever worsening weather conditions.”
    The storm snarled traffic at Houston’s Hobby Airport, where nearly 200 flights were canceled by midafternoon, according to the airport’s Twitter account.
    Around 45,000 customers in the region were without power as of Monday afternoon, emergency management officials said, down from a peak of 123,000 earlier in the day. MORE
     

     

     

    ARE YOU COMPLETELY PREPARED? 

    IT’S THE MOST IMPORTANT PREP YOU CAN DO!   

    The Bible tells us that every human has sinned and fallen short of the glory of God which is  is a heart-penetrating truth. He has provided a way to cleanse us of our sins since we can never be “good enough” to cleanse ourselves. That avenue to God’s grace, mercy and forgiveness (the cleansing of our sins) is through His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth Who is equally God.

     

    Not one of us are guaranteed a “tomorrow”. Has your time run out? Will you continue to ignore the promptings of God the Holy Spirit or have you awakened to the essential need for God, risking eternal damnation?

    ​​

    God the Holy Father, God the Holy Son and God the Holy Spirit are One God, the true, living, uncreated God Who is ever-present, all knowing, all powerful and all loving. He desires that every single person be forgiven, saved and to live eternally with Him. He is our only real protection and His love for you is unchanging. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior, the true Messiah, today.

     

    You can’t take your salvation for a test drive. You’re all-in or not.

     

    Admit to Him that you are a sinner in need of forgiveness, that you are truly sorry for your sins.  Acknowledge that He died for your sins, rose from the dead and lives forevermore. Invite Him into your life and to help you to turn from sin. Rejoice! You just became a Christian! Now trust in Him and get to know Him through the Bible which tells us everything we need to know and through prayer/talking to Him. He eagerly desires relationship with you.

        It is not unusual at all for this area, and I have lived here some 60 years. Flash floods are a part of what you have to deal with living here, along with the hurricanes at times.

        How is 5 dead apocalyptic flooding? The Earth indeed appears to be going through birth pangs, but overstating your case mars your credibility.

              Why do you think God is a vending machine? You didn’t even put your slug in. Hypocrite! Do you thank God when things are going well in y our life or is HE only your scapegoat when things go badly? Fool! We fell from grace AND THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES for our actions.

        Y’know, sometimes those that seek to appear the most pieous are feeding us the biggest loads of BS.
        That shark picture was taken in Puerto Rico!!

        Just a tad, a hair, even a smidgeon of due diligence should have made it clear that this is just another misguided, overblown attempt to pump up the adrenaline and make cash on it.

        the death toll is now up to 8….not apocalyptic, but upsetting…

        the apocalyptic part of it is most of the flooding happened in neighborhoods where nobody carries flood insurance…these suburbs have never flooded before….fixing flood damage is EXPENSIVE….
