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.

Thank you. Good to hear.

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.....

Llamas is with ABC.

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

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

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.

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.

Is it possible to surrender to a hurricane?
