Houstonian here! Storm was absolutely insane. Grabbed my baby and hoped and prayed for the best. Still without power. My prayers and thoughts are with the victims family who lost their lives yesterday.
Wow! Texas has really been getting hit a lot this year! Prayers from Florida!
Prayers never accomplished anything!
March 15, and now May 16?
@@michaelellringer5600 Neither has whining. But you sure do a lot of that anyway.
Pray, and maybe also ask whoever manipulated this storm into existence to stop doing it.
From Florida is wild 😂❤
This was no storm.. that was a fkn beast! Greenspoint is in complete darkness right now
IDGAF, btw, it’s Gunspoint, get it right!!!!
We were hit with hurricane force winds out of nowhere we had no time to prepare the damage was ridiculous havent seen this kind of devastation even from tropical storms. Have a bad feeling about this year...
It’s just going to continue and get worse
That bad feeling should be "for this year and all the coming years..." because -the waves of reality are about to crash into humanities face.
we knew about it 3 days prior, it was definitely out of nowhere.. i was on a trip in atlanta and heard about it before i even came back
@lilmike9297 you're crazy. They said it was going to be possible storms. 60% chance. Not that we were going to be hit with 90mph gust of wind. Most of the city only had a 30 minute heads up. Alot of people where in traffic when it happened
@@Chillvester-malone I didn't have that, one second I'm feeling a little breeze coming through my bedroom window, the next second I'm running for cover as a white wall of rain, wind and sparks are whipping toward me.
Swiss Re and other reinsurance companies have been warning for decades about the growing catastrophes. Generally only 30% of damages are insured. Other 70% is either covered at government expense or oftentimes never repaired. In America insurance companies starting in Ohio and continuing west to the Dakota's have not been able to make a profit. WSJ has a responsibility as a member of the free press to educate readers without favoritism or tribalism consideration. The situation is non-partisan.
Houstonian here, storm was crazy, hate to see my city hurt but as always we will bounce back better

(If people do not have any confidence, it will not be easy for them to continue on this path. God has done so much and He has spoken so many words that are totally inconsistent with human understanding. Thus, people must have the confidence and determination to be true to what they have seen and learned from their experiences. Believing in God requires obeying Him and experiencing His work. God has done so much---it can be said that for men it is all perfecting, refining, and moreover, chastening. however, no matter how harsh His words were, He came to save and perfect mankind. As creatures, people must fulfill the duties they are supposed to fulfill, and stand as witnesses for God in the midst of refinement. In every trial they must stand up for the witness they must bear, and do so resoundingly for God. No matter how God refines you, you remain full of trust and never lose trust in Him. This is what God asks of man, and man's heart must be able to fully return and turn to Him with every passing moment. This is a winner. Those whom God refers to as "overcomers" are those who are able to stand as witnesses and maintain their trust and loyalty to God when they are under the influence of Satan and attacked by Satan, that is, when they are in the midst of the forces of darknessIf you are still able to maintain a pure heart before God and true love for God no matter what happens, you stand as a witness before God, and this is what God refers to as being an "overcomer." Since you saw that God Himself came toearth to make you perfect, you must give your heart completely to Him. When you do your duty, you don't panic; when you face trials you stand firm. This is faithfulness to God.)
Almighty God said
If PEOPLE do NOT have any CONFIDENCE, it is NOT EASY for them to CONTINUE on this PATH. Everyone can SEE TODAY that GOD'S WORK does NOT CONFORM to the UNDERSTANDINGS of MEN in the SLIGHTEST. GOD has DONE so MUCH and He has SPOKEN so many WORDS, which are COMPLETELY INCONSISTENT with HUMAN UNDERSTANDING. Thus, people must have the confidence and determination to be true to what they have seen and learned from their experiences. No MATTER what GOD does to PEOPLE, they must STAND UP for WHAT they HAVE, be HONEST before GOD, and REMAIN FAITHFUL to Him until the very END. This is the DUTY of HUMANITY. People have to stand up for what they have to do. BELIEVING in GOD REQUIRES OBEYING Him and EXPERIENCING His WORK. 🙏
GOD has DONE so much---it can be SAID that for MEN it is all PERFECTING, REFINING, and moreover, CHASTENING. Not one step of God's work has yet conformed to human understanding; what people enjoy is the stern word of God. WHEN GOD COMES, people must ENJOY His MAJESTY and His WRATH. However, no matter how harsh His words were, He CAME to SAVE and PERFECT MANKIND. 🛑🙏
As CREATURES, people must FULFILL the DUTIES they are SUPPOSED to FULFILL, and STAND as WITNESSES for GOD in the MIDST of REFINEMENT. 🙏
In EVERY TRIAL they MUST STAND UP for the WITNESS they must BEAR, and do so RESOUNDINGLY for GOD. A PERSON who DOES this is a OVERCOMER. 🛑🙏
No MATTER how GOD REFINES you, you REMAIN FULL of TRUST and NEVER LOSE TRUST in Him. Doing what a MAN SHOULD DO. This is what GOD ASKS of MAN, and man's HEART must be ABLE to FULLY RETURN and TURN to Him with EVERY PASSING MOMENT. 🙏
THIS is a OVERCOMER. Those WHOM GOD REFERS to as "overcomers" are THOSE who are ABLE to STAND as WITNESSES and MAINTAIN their TRUST and LOYALTY to GOD WHEN they are UNDER the INFLUENCE of SATAN and ATTACKED by SATAN, that is, WHEN they are in the MIDST of the FORCES of DARKNESS 🌷🙏🌹
If you are STILL able to MAINTAIN a PURE HEART before GOD and TRUE LOVE for GOD NO MATTER what HAPPENS, you STAND as a WITNESS before GOD, and this is what GOD REFERS to as BEING an "overcomer." If your willpower is so good when God blesses you, but you retreat without His blessings is this purity?
SINCE you are CERTAIN that this PATH is TRUE, you MUST FOLLOW it to the END; you MUST MAINTAIN your LOYALTY to GOD. SINCE you SEE that GOD HIMSELF CAME to EARTH to MAKE you PERFECT, you MUST GIVE your HEART COMPLETELY to Him. If you can still follow Him no matter what He does, even if He decides an unpleasant outcome for you in the end, it is maintaining your purity before God. CONSECRATING a HOLY SPIRITUAL BODY and a PURE VIRGIN to GOD means KEEPING a SINCERE HEART before GOD. 🙏
For MANKIND, HONESTY is PURITY, and the ABILITY to be HONEST with GOD is MAINTAINING PURITY. This is WHAT you SHOULD DO. 🌷
WHEN you MUST PRAY, PRAY; WHEN you MUST GATHER to SHARE, DO so; WHEN you MUST SING HYMNS, SING hymns; and WHEN you MUST FORSAKE the FLESH, FORSAKE the FLESH. 🙏🌹
WHEN you DO your DUTY, you DON'T PANIC; WHEN you FACE TRIALS you STAND FIRM. This is LOYALTY to GOD. If you don't stand up for what people should do, everything you've suffered in the past is for naught. 🙏

I wonder why Texas is being slammed with bad weather lately ?
I'm not seeing the state recovering very well and eventually Summer will be there.
Hey it keeps prices down. I use to live in the north east and I hated it. Here i pay 950 for a two bedroom apartment with a full kitchen in the Heights close to down town :-) I’m living the American dream all thanks to people not wanting to live here
@@mateoleon524
I'm glad you have the strength to get through the storms, and I must say $ 950 for a apartment or house per month is awesome.
Good Luck 🤞
Houston we have a problem.
The storms are getting more powerful - prayers for those whose families lost loved ones.
The E,c,l,I,p,s,e// The sign of Jonah// God gave us 7 years to// R,e,p,e,n,t// 😮 No!! We still ,have a b.o.r.t.i o n s, / child/ trafficking/ God had enough/// The innocents/ are not heard by us!!!!😮😢
Crazy to see a downtown hit like that
I went out last night to walk my dog here in the Heights and it was SCARY AS FUUUU.
My dog is big as f but even having him I was like NOPE, it was pitch black
At what point do you classify that a hurricane? Thats not the result of just any old storm.
We were packed in the stairwells in our building, just imagine like 200 ppl in a hot, stuff enclosed area
That is so sad
@@redeyedmongoose2963 one of the worst experiences ever
omg u can feel the oxygen just minimizing in the area
About as bad as the 4 people that were killed, huh? LOL!
Holy....mother nature sure has unleashed her fury
❤ for the people
Angry weather! Hope the city recovers quickly from the damage and the unfortunate loss of life. Summer storms can truly be terrifying especially in Twister country...
That is unfortunate.
Every now and then....... a whopper storm comes along.......
Still storming? Its 3:52 pm
Don't worry they have lots of money from overcharging everyone to use the roads there.
Joel Osteen to the rescue?
I thought Abbott wanted Texas to "secede" from the "big-bad gubment"? Instead he's going to beg President Biden for money to help repair the storm damage, and President Biden will graciously give it to him because that's what real leaders do.
Texas, rethink your politics for the good of the country. 😊
Oh nooo
God takes time , but He never forgets.
Dayum.
But oh Abbott wheels no global warming right ?
Please stop trying to politicize the weather. This is no one's fault. It's a time to pull together not a time to try and drive a political wedge between people.
Seems like sinve the eclipse, the weather been weird.
❤️🙏 Prayers for the people in Texas!🙏❤️
Prayers for all the storms 🤤🤤🤤
Everything is bigger in Texas, even storms
Drawe that just net a top ? Yes
I am sure governor Abbott will issue new legislation allowing people of taxes to carry anti-storm missiles..
Moro.. I mean people should really think before commenting.
Never heard of anti-storm missiles. Did you learn this at an Ivy league school?
chrismadden. ok Xi trump.
Maybe huge buildings shouldn't be made of glass after all.
Maybe the climate is getting worse after all… Anyway, hopefully it doesn’t take too long to clean up.
That's what they want you to believe...
Dont even start that dem manipulation weapon this morn.
Maybe when rising sea levels take away the favorite beaches of the middle class and wash away the beach homes of the wealthy elite, perhaps then we will take real action to solve climate change.
Did the combustible engine force the glaciers to recede?
22lilac. . who is they??
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Now they got real jobs
Idk...where you are but Houston always had 'real jobs'.
🙏
It came out of nowhere I mean one second it was day and then in matter of seconds it was dark as nite and 100 mph winds and storms and man it was scary
More storms are coming
Extreme weather comes home to meet its daddies in the oil capital of the world.
Thanks Lord for your peace
Thanks Lord for your salvation
Thanks Lord for bible study class
You forgot to thank Lord for the devastating storm

Maybe someone was playing the HAARP too loud huh?

Everything's bigger in Texas. Don't mess with Texas.

The government needs to leave the weather alone!!!!!!!!
Unprecedented rainfall, earthquakes, fires!!!!!
Government haha
@@Isaiah49.16i mean it aint a lie tho it is know government can control weather maybe not turnados but atp fuking around w the weather might have something to do with it
Huh?
duhhh. it is man caused climate change there Cleetus.
You know that human beings cannot control and change nature.
First Dubai then Texas , looks like your almighty is a little angry with y’all
Climate change will teach hard lessons, no matter what you believe.
Good thing that the world is flat. 🙄

@@chrismadden1935 They're certainly helping, Chris. All of them.

No we didnt
Prayers, Fasting and Penance. Repent, Kneel down. We are under Purification time. Look above, look for Heaven, the time is now. God is applying His Justice. 😢😢😢
Right
The Kingdom of Heaven is INSIDE YOU.
Tonight.... Close your eyes....... Let your eyes adjust to the dark......
Then actually Look behind your eyes.
It resembles our night time sky, our space.
Vision your self walking across space...... Call out to the Spirit, call out to Jesus.
Vision him in front of you.
Speak to him.
And then hear him..... And what the Spirit is saying.
He will teach you all things.
Luke 23:34 KJV - Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.
Acts 17:24 KJV - God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
Colossians 1:3 KJV - We give thanks to God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,

The wrath of God is only going to get worse. Repent and turn from your wicked ways!
Man made.
If it's only gonna get worse why bother repenting?
I repent because I want him to know I’m sorry for the pain I caused him…this time he will pour out his wrath regardless.
But you can also be protected while the wrath is poured out
This is 2024, not the Dark Ages, we no longer have to blame weather events on "gods" or "demons". Maybe you need to read a science book, not a "buybull". lol

Who would have thought, a state off the south coast, next to a humungus body of water, and regularly sees hurricane activity would be a bad place to have high-rise buildings for living ?! 😮. Yeah, it's the Darwin effect for sure.
I wouldn't want to live in Texas. A brutal state climate wise. Prayers for all affected.
You do know it was a front from the north right? And that Houston is miles from the coast.
Or how about high rise buildings for living in places that have earthquakes, tornados or just a home where they regularly have wildfires? Can’t be 🐓💩 all your life. BTW it’s “humongous”

Houston is the big port city on the Gulf precisely because it’s as close as you dare get to the ocean. Cities right on the coast like Galveston get trashed by hurricanes too often. Houston only gets badly damaged. :-)
