Much respect for this man, this is how we should be always, in good and bad times.

Very true. I know this from experience.
But you've also got to be careful. Wilma (2005) was only projected to be a cat 1 when it hit my area and ended up being a cat 3.

How is the default to just explode!?
'Plume of smoke' spotted at Texas chemical plant amid explosion fears
'Plume of smoke' spotted at Texas chemical plant amid explosion fears
lol that's fucking hilarious.
Two explosions were reported on Thursday at the flood-hit Arkema plant in Crosby, Texas, and a sheriff's deputy was taken to hospital after inhaling chemicals, the company said.
The company said further explosions of organic peroxides stored on site were possible and urged people to stay away as the fire burns itself out.
U.S. emergency officials said on Thursday the plume caused by two explosions at the flood-hit Arkema SA chemical plant in Crosby, Texas, was "incredibly dangerous," noting officials were still trying to evaluate the hazards.
"Right now, the question is whether or not we can actually get in and assess the full scale of the impact from an environmental standpoint to an infrastructure stand point," Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator Brock Long said at a news briefing. "By all means, yes, the plume is incredibly dangerous."
Arkema said the company had no way to prevent fires because the plant is swamped by about 6 feet (1.83 m) of water due to flooding from Harvey, which came ashore in Texas last week as a powerful Category 4 hurricane, knocking out power to its cooling system.
The company said it was notified at about 2 a.m. by the Harris County Emergency Operations Center of two explosions and black smoke coming from the plant in Crosby.
"Organic peroxides are extremely flammable and, as agreed with public officials, the best course of action is to let the fire burn itself out," the company said.
The Harris County Sheriff's Office said on Twitter the deputy had been taken to hospital and nine others drove themselves to the hospital as a precaution.
"Remain well clear of the area and follow directions of local officials," The National Weather Service said after the explosions, noting that winds were from the west to the east from 4 to 9 mph.
The company evacuated remaining workers at the damaged plant on Tuesday, and Harris County ordered the evacuation of residents within a 1.5-mile (2.4-km) radius of the plant, which makes organic peroxides used in the production of plastic resins, polystyrene, paints and other products.
"We want local residents to be aware that product is stored in multiple locations on the site, and a threat of additional explosion remains. Please do not return to the area within the evacuation zone," Arkema said.
Richard Rowe, chief executive officer of Arkema's North America unit, told reporters on Wednesday that chemicals on the site would catch fire and explode if they were not properly cooled.
The company said it opted not to move chemicals before the storm but made extensive preparations. The plant is 25 miles northeast of Houston.
Rowe said a fire would not pose any "long-term harm or impact."
The plant has been without electric service since Sunday. It lost refrigeration when backup generators were flooded, and workers transferred products from warehouses into diesel-powered refrigerated containers.
The company said some refrigeration of back-up containers has been compromised because of high water levels. It said it was monitoring temperature levels remotely.
The Federal Aviation Administration has temporarily barred flights near the plant because of the risk of fire or explosion.

Just called EMS from the other side of the world to save my stubborn old man that refused to evacuate and is now off the radar.
Limited water, no power, flooded in, a few inches of water in the house.
Probably won't know the result for a day as information is delayed going in and out.

White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders announced Thursday that President Donald Trump would pledge $1 million of his own personal money to the relief effort for Harvey, a storm that made landfall Friday in Texas as a Category 4 hurricane.
“I had a chance to speak directly with the president earlier, and I’m happy to tell you that he would like to join in the efforts that a lot of the people that we’ve seen across this country do, and he’s pledging a million dollars of personal money to [Harvey relief],” Sanders said.

how much of his own money did obama donate again?
Didn't they learn their lesson about making fun of people?
You planning on killing them or something?
