The biggest threat to New Territory is the Brazos River right now. A mandatory evacuation was ordered for the neighborhood earlier so he may have left. However, it is looking like the river will crest below last year's record high which they survived. The rain has stopped so as long as the levees holds out the river, they are good.

Looks fake to me, the bridge is missing in the back-round on the photo before the flood.

The waves are a sure giveaway.

unbelievable, fake my a#$. Look closer, the bridge is in the far background. The non-flood picture was taken further back. And the two pictures are not quite exactly at the same vantage point.

Red beard, glad you are safe and relatively dry.

Not to PARF this up but I have an ethical question on survival.

Is it looting if you are starving and you raid an abandoned grocery store for staples during a disaster such as Harvey? Or just basic survival? Maybe they should have a sign in sheet.....I took this.....I'll pay later....

I mean we all remember that black guy wading thru waist deep water with a case of beer....just asking....since that Fox guy named Llamas tweeted about people taking out food from a supermarket.....

dafischer 08-30-2017 10:24 AM

Llamas is with ABC.

Well they be water cooled now...

Uhhh, OK but who cares? AO HELL told me that....so it had to be true....:eek:

dafischer 08-30-2017 10:44 AM

Fox gets enough crap spread on it, and I just wanted to see credit given where due.

Joe Bob 08-30-2017 10:48 AM

Yeah, but what is the diff between looting and surviving when you are starving. It's like reporting news, standing back and watching some starve/die and helping a victim.

A guy carrying out a case of booze or food staples? Semantics, I guess.

$100 bucks for a case of water...I'd shoot the bastard charging that.

Crowbob 08-30-2017 11:46 AM

There does seem an ethical distinction can be made between looting a grocery store for some food versus looting a Best Buy for a flatscreen.

I shake my damn head every time I read a story about somebody robbing a 7-11 for cigs. And booze.
