Trudeau actually married a local Vancouver girl though he hated the English with a passion and especially hated us out on the west coast here. I'll never forget him giving a crowd the finger in the BC interior when he was touring the country by train. it might have been on the occasion of his wedding actually.
they still have that train car at 3 valley gap bc with a cardboard cut out of old trudeau on the back

I wonder if the tires would provide flotation or sink the boat.

We've had two tornados touch down within 15 minutes of me today.

So the "Cajun Navy" may be backing out because Houstonians are shooting at them and trying to loot their boats. I have a friend there that said it's getting a little nuts and they may be on the way home.

Joel Olsteen and his megachurch are getting torn to shreds on twitter for not opening it's doors to the refugees.

Seats 15,000 while Dallas is 4 hours away and being prepped to house 5,000.

And despite this, looks like Lakewood has started preparations anyway.

Seems strange that people focus in like this. Seems pretty understandable. I'd imagine it takes a lot to house people and especially when you already see water coming in. Things would be a humanitarian disaster to bring them in and become a mini-superdome disaster.

Estimated that 9 trillion gallons of rain has fallen on south east Texas as of Monday morning.

If that water were collected into a cube it would cover four square miles and be two miles tall. Each side of that cube would measure two miles.

It would fill the great salt lake in Salt Lake City twice.

If the Mississippi River flowed into Houston it would take 9 days to equal the water there.

If you spread that water out across the lower 48 states it would cover every square inch with 0.17 inches of water, about the height of three pennies.

And there's another 5-10 trillion gallons still expected to fall.

What started it was they informed people the church was closed due to flooding. It's a PR nightmare for them, so it appears they are trying to get back on track. I mean the hurricane wasn't an unexpected scenario.

I thought it was a bit amusing when I was watching coverage of the flooding and the newscaster went straight from flood coverage to "get to the lowest part of your home" when there were tornado warnings out.
