You wanna cry looking at this. If you are Houstonian then you really feel the pain. The storm won't leave Houston until Thursday or Friday from what I've seen in the news.
It is horrible. My entire neighborhood (I am the first street - half okay, my half) is under water. This just happened last year. EVERYTHING they owned on the streets. War zone. This will be magnified 1,000,000 times. I'm sure I will have house guests.
+Guillermo Martinez Sorry.....I actually don't want to cry. My sympathy well has run dry for all of these disaster areas. Can't quite figure out why hurricane and flood zones....tornado alley....earthquake zones.....why are these the same places full of all the hate and unrest?
Mook Wolf they don't really show much of the damage on the news (here at least) and if they do you can't really compare it to anything because you've never seen it before so I felt the same way. I knew it was bad, just not that there was such a huge amount of water in some places like that freeway
Yes I live there and drive those roads all week. It was horrible..video doesn’t justify it. My brother in law, myself, and a few friends took jet skis out to help...I was literally pulling people from their houses...roofs..2nd story floors..I would bump in to things under water and realize it was a truck or street sign.. it was crazy. Worst I’ve ever seen it in Houston.
Houston is one of the biggest cities and a lot of it just got tooken out. It's sad how many people are gonna have to restart or try to get back on track with their lives after losing literally everything they own. Man if you live in Houston I hope you guys are all safe, it's bad out here.
It was just as bad in Pasadena which isn't far from Houston and I'm from there we lost everything all of our stuff that can't be replaced and special momentums you will never get back or be able to replace. We lost our apt, one cat, it's devastating. Of course alot of help from FEMA but no money in the world can get you what you lost back or your fear of it happening again and again. #HOUSTONSTRONG
Dimitri Wega I agree only prayers won't help but that's what I can do sitting thousands of miles away and also I believe at least people who believe in God understand the power of prayer. I hope you are helping them with aid you said about..
I don't think people realize just BIG things REALLY are in Texas. This water is over, what we call, the spaghetti bowls. That is 100 feet up sometime. I am one street from going under . . . prayers. :/
On a positive note, we got to miss a week of school lol. I know some schools flooded out, but hopefully we can get back to school soon... Aside from that, the flood has gone down a bit in some areas like mine. My family was able to come back to Houston after evacuating. Blessed to only have minor damages to our home. We'll probably have to replace the flooring and some parts of the ceilings and walls. Hopefully everyone recovers and stays safe. I wish the best for the ones who's homes were destroyed. 🙏🏽 Make sure to help and donate to Houston, every dollars counts. Even my family donated...
We missed 2 months, I know this is really old but everyone’s locker was flooded, when we opened them, everything was covered in storm water and we had to get everything new because our school flooded hard.
Harvey was so devastating because it didn't MOVE. Usually, hurricanes make landfall and peter out as they blow inland. But when Harvey hit, there was a pressure system in central Texas that prevented the hurricane from moving inland. So northern winds were pushing down, but the Gulf winds were blowing the storm up, and like an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, Harvey's momentum prevented it from blowing in any other direction. This Category 4 storm literally *parked* on top of a major city for nearly a week! Moreover, part of the storm remained over the ocean, so as it swirled, it continued to pick up water, which is why it didn't lose steam after initial landfall and continued to dump copious amounts of rain. It was such a freakish coincidence of weather that most meteorologists had never seen anything like it before, and likely will never see one like it again.
That's really deep water in some spots. I live up the road from a river that goes through my whole town. It does flood our schools baseball fields sometimes and one year I remember it crested at 23 feet and flooded our township building and 50 homes. I can't even imagine if it was 55 feet crest like Houstons rivers. Our whole town would be under water and that breaks my heart. Houston is a big city made up of smaller towns like mine and so many are now gone. I'm trying to put myself in their shoes with this but I can't even imagine. I don't care what you believe in. Pray to it, send positive vibes to it, worship to it for Houston. And not just Houston. The whole area that was affected. Everyone's focusing on this flood but it flooded and winds destroyed other parts of the state and other states. I'm not even sure what I meant to get out with this comment and I wish I could do more than donate. God (or whatever you believe in) help these people
Most of Houston is a flood plain, I used to live out there. It always is wet and mini floods when ever it rains. This storm is terrible best wishes and will try to donate to those affected.
for my birthday, i got the lovely gift of being woken up at 4 am because one of the tornadoes that harvey was spawning west of the city almost hit my house. luckily no flooding though!
The people here are great I live in Katy where it didn't get flooded but when we drove to Houston two days after the flooding stopped most the water receded some water was 16 feet high and has lowered to 3 ft so efforts are being made
It's so crazy to me to see the places I've drove through in a town i was born, raised, and currently living in seen this way. My neighbor is fine but I have no way to get to anyone without flooding my car. I'm Basically Basically Trapped where I live. I believe well make it. We're strong people.
I was a mailman in the community bordering the Whiteoak Bayou (zip 77009) from the first shot. Most of the houses bordering it were on hills, so hopefully that provided a barrier for the community behind the hill.
My heart was constricted unbelievable scenery lots of people forced to leave, for what ever reason, more unnecessary manpower work forces. Putting their lives in such dangerous situations...once you were warned please take the most important belongs with you, and don't loom back! May the force of God be with Houstonians, visitors, or just passing by.
Man that is crazy. The whole country needs to step up. If you're not close enough to go and help or to offer shelter to a displaced family you can still donate to the red cross. Every bit helps.
The amazing thing is how well everyone behaved, on the whole. Neighborhoods formed militias to stop people from outside the city coming in and looting. People with boats worked tirelessly rescuing people. As the waterline receded neighbors worked tirelessly muck out each other’s homes. It made you see how good people were. The city should be proud that when tested, its citizens pulled together.
People don't realize how bad it was, I was born and raised in Houston and I never thought I'd have to evacuate my own home because it's been destroyed by this. This was one of the worst hurricanes in Texas history. Thousands of people including my family and I are homeless now either on shelter or in hotels until we get assistance.. it's absolutely devastating and I'm very grateful for all the help people have brought us from all over.
Wdym I was there too and it was terrible in some part I had to leave my house but luckily there was an apartment of 2 story’s and we broke the window and got in one of our friends was paying the rent for it and he had a house he was at his house when it happened and he told us the only thing we could do was brake the window and get in since he couldn’t give us the key
I live on Greens Bayou and we was under water my home is by the bridge the first night that Harvey was making land fall it's something I'll never forget all the animals screaming and crying it's something that no horror movie could ever copy. I was in chest high water trying to save as many as I could..I lost my husband and everything to Harvey...
I was only a high school sophomore when this incident happening. It was just all of a sudden and I thought when it started it would be just a little rain.
The sad thing is, is that I've driven through all of these places and it's sad to see how they turned out. I believe one of the roads is the road I take to go to hockey. Where I live we didn't get hit that but, but there was still a lot of water, rain and wind.

Who Pooped In The Pudding? Actually, we're pulling together....a sign maybe. 🤔

That's just terrible. But it's a very well made video too, I didn't realize it was that bad

Are you kidding me? It was SO much worse than this video. They didn't show the families on rooftops waiting to be rescued.
It sucked
Bro I had one and one of my baby almost got hurt

We must ALL PRAY for the Houston area. God Almighty be with them and comfort them.
@Slang Shotz. I like your comment but "tooken out" taken out.
4th largest city in america

Dimitri Wega I agree only prayers won't help but that's what I can do sitting thousands of miles away and also I believe at least people who believe in God understand the power of prayer. I hope you are helping them with aid you said about..
You're a good person

I had 2 weeks. School inwqs working at got some flood damage.
It was the year after I graduated and I had a 1 night stand that turned into a week long relationship ship because of Harvey lol
better than the actual news coverage...
Proud HOUSTONIAN!!! We take care of our own
But don't be too proud to accept a helping hand. That's what neighbors are for. Hope you guys can bounce back from this quickly
Except when the whole city is done for.... don't be ignorant. It will take everyone to help Houston rebuild and we all want to see that happen.

Reminds me of "Katrina". This is heart breaking.
Unbelievable how much has changed
It's both sad and beautiful.
thanks for this - now I understand the extent of the devastaton. I'm in Canada.
Ann Stewart It's not was widespread as you think and I've been here the whole time.
@@Dim.g0v yeah mainly the inner city was affected.
@@mekhig.9350 Mhm also generally over developed and impoverished areas
This is sad to see this happen to all people's lives.
I hope everyone is ok in Houston
as a houstonian, Harvey was extremely devastating, right now in 2024, I remember seeing my mobile home under all the rain water..
All My h-town ppl I hope you doing okay this is heart breaking to see how places u know end up like after the flood. #prayforhouston 🙏🏻🙏🏻
lifestyleofjg can't believe people still think prayer is a valid form of aid
Shoutout too my city I love you Houston
On the three year anniversary laura is on her way.
:O I've lived in South FL all my life. I grew up around hurricanes. I've never seen ANYTHING like that!

Moore strong
Houston strong
My ohh my thoughts and prayers with yall fellow Texans
🙏🏾Prayers for the ppl of Houston
This really hits home, literally.
I like how every single time when places get hit by hurricanes and they always and they get really bad flooded. They always survive.
Wow...just...wow... That's a HUGE difference. I hope everyone is safe and hope the water drains fast.
Thank you for posting this. I have met so many people that thought this was fake. I almost lost my life with this storm. Thank you for the comparison
Thanks! At least get clearer pictures now! Only after compared then able to tell how serious and badly damaged actually!
Sad but Extremely well done
I was born and raised in Houston but I moved to Mississippi a year ago
That's so cool, you could fish literally anywhere. They're so blessed
Jaden Cross but we don't have fish
Yeah you might catch a shoe if you're lucky other than that I think people would be more worried about getting to higher ground.

houston was my home. when hurricane Harvey flooding Houston. i lost everything.
At least there's no rush hour traffic

No there is, it's just in boats- and to save peoples lives!
Especially since they closed chunks of major freeways 😊
There's not even a rush hour now.

A friend of mine is in houston right now i hope my friend is okay
This is horrible. I am praying for all of the victims of Harvey. I hope that the Houston community recovers quickly from this tragedy.
Great video, it captures the devastation accurately

Excellent work! Sad situation.
Meanwhile on the west coast.. big heat wave. Dying here.. and very dry. NO wind, no water, no air.
I haven't seen Google maps change this much since the view of Allepo.
I am a California native living in Houston. I'm from LA but living in H-Town.
Man we lucked out in Katy but still got a lot of rain, but not nearly as much as the inner city. Crazy

this is so hurtful so much water it makes you wonder where do all this water come from when a hurricane hits. praying for all.
great work!
I was only a high school sophomore when this incident happening. It was just all of a sudden and I thought when it started it would be just a little rain.
Finally some news that isn't fake from the NYT!
I hope everyone is ok
Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!🖤🖤🖤🖤
My apartment complex didn't get that much water because the land was high 😂
My grandma lives there. I hope for all of you people in Harvey or Irma will survive.
I am from Houston, TX but I am okay. My family and friends are okay. But my house is already damaged. That's so hurtful to me.
How did you do this? Do you take some footage at various exact locations every year just in case? Either way i am grateful. Thank you.
And I thought Houston couldn't get any worse.
i was right in it and it was so scary my house was almost fully submerged but it was a small house
Tough year for Water Parks down there.
The sad thing is, is that I've driven through all of these places and it's sad to see how they turned out. I believe one of the roads is the road I take to go to hockey. Where I live we didn't get hit that but, but there was still a lot of water, rain and wind.
When u see the rode sign u can see how high it is
