Mexico Just Offered Aid For Hurricane Harvey Victims. Trump’s Response Is Telling

“The Mexican government … expresses that it has offered to provide help and cooperation to the U.S. government in order to deal with the impact of this natural disaster — as good neighbors should always do in trying times.”

and Trash refuses:

“If a need for assistance does arise, we will work with our partners, including Mexico, to determine the best way forward,” read a statement from White House and State Department officials.

“Our offering is open and permanent,” said Carlos Sada Solana, Mexico’s foreign undersecretary for North America, in response.

Trash's Exec is rotten with pricks, assholes, kakistocrats, a reflection of Trash and the entire Repug party.

Wonder what they offered. They're broke and we already have their best workers.

Goddamn, man. You just can't turn it off can you?

Man, the Houston anchors look like they've been through a week's worth of MDA telethons. Can't get through a paragraph clean.

take it up with your murderous vigilantes

[pgardn]

tougher than I am. It rained for like 40 straight hours but never super heavy. Wind blew down a section of my fence and some trees around the neighborhood. Austin was so lucky this time.

You had some sections that lost power for 3 days. Not pleasant for apartment dwellers.

But polar opposite.

Not at all, but the weather has been agreeable and there are so many options for relief here there is simply no comparison. It could have been so much worse.

Why Houston’s flooding got so bad, according to storm experts


No city can survive 50 inches of rain unscathed. But Houston is especially prone to floods.

Arkema Statement: Status of Plant in Crosby, Texas
6:50 pm est., August 29, 2017

The Arkema site in Crosby, Texas has been shut-down since Friday.

The site anticipated the storm, and safely shut down all operations before hurricane landfall. The facility has had extraordinary levels of rain, receiving approximately 40 inches by Monday afternoon. The site has been heavily flooded and without electric service since early Sunday morning. Back-up generators have largely been inundated with water. A small ride-out crew of eleven people had remained on site for some days.

As of late this afternoon, the situation at the Crosby site had become serious. In order to ensure the safety of our ride-out team, all personnel have been evacuated from the site at this time. We are working with the Department of Homeland Security and the State of Texas to set up a command post in a suitable location near our site. We also have been in contact with other regulatory authorities, who are aware of this situation.

Arkema manufactures organic peroxides at the Crosby plant. The primary challenge has been maintaining refrigeration for these products, which are stored at low temperature. The site lost refrigeration to all of its cold-storage warehouses when electrical power was lost and back-up generators were flooded. Our team then transferred products from the warehouses into diesel-powered refrigerated containers, and continued to monitor the situation.

At this time, refrigeration on some of our back-up product storage containers has been compromised due to extremely high water, rising to levels that are unprecedented in the Crosby area. Arkema is limited in what it can do to address the site conditions until the storm abates. We are monitoring the temperature of each refrigeration container remotely. At this time, while we do not believe there is any imminent danger, the potential for a chemical reaction leading to a fire and/or explosion within the site confines is real.

We have no higher priority than the safety of our employees, neighbors and the environment. We have been working without pause to keep our materials safe.

Everyone within 1.5 miles evacuated.

Of course not.

But the rain you guys had and Seguin just to the East of SA.
I measured 1 1/4 total. And some intermittent gusts.
We, SA, totally lucked out.

If you watched the radar it was like an invisible line that allowed all the rain to fall Out before SA. Seguin had 8 inches or so... Who made that boundary... It's nuts.

When the refineries shutdown, they burn off or vent TONS of really nasty stuff, Americans.

There's something like 20 SuperFund sites, Fed + Texas, in Houston region, BigOil's "external costs" born by taxpayers, while BigOil is the most profitable industry world wide.

Yeah, I was at the lake just north of seguin and the rain never stopped. Wind blew my front courtyard fence and gate down but my big fear of the guadalupe flooding didnt happen. Had plenty of tequila and margarita mix and cigars so buzzed right through it.

[CosmicCowboy]

Power probably went off forty times but never more than an hour or two. GVEC did a good job. Bet i heard at least 20 transformers blow in the neighborhood.

9 out of 10 wont be covered by insurance. Regular homeowners insurance doesnt cover floods.

Nope. This is going to be a financial disaster for a lot of people.

I doubt that Houston will ever recover. If Katrina was any indication of the future, many will leave and not come back.

[RandomGuy]

I appreciate the articles/pics RandomGuy.

You're welcome. Lots out there. It is a testimony to how large this event actually is.
