When I tell y'all it rained for a Week straight not exaggerating, we was so happy to see the sun Monday morning
Yes!!! To finally see some sunshine!
Slim Hardaway that was so true
Agreed! I remember I cried when we had the hot August sun shining brightly. I told myself I was never going to complain about hot August days again. A week of cloudy skies and nonstop rain changed everything.
Yes we were.

I’m looking back at this 2 years later and it’s crazy to think that I went through that
We're about to go through it again
We might go through it again..
Glad u r ok. Hope u are leaving now .. Laura is a Cat 4 and will be a 5 in a few hours. I care. Please leave ok?
jage I wish I could but I’m only 14 so it’s not my decision
Laura now in Port Charles LA and power lines are down.
No other city could bounce back like htown has. 713 proud
bigspook999 yeah. New Orleans hasn’t really gotten better in the 14 years that it got hit, but Houston’s still great and growing.
281
Houston sucks
New Orleans bounced back
@@shaggyhascancer4489floods
I grew up in New Orleans. Hurricane Katrina did the same to us. It's really horrific to go through
I grew up in Houston. I remember when Katrina happened, and lots of people came seeking refuge. We opened our homes to fellow Americans in need, and it's good to see that kindness carried on.
We help each other out, it's what we do :)
I worked there with the LA National Guard i always explain to people whom ask me it looked like the end of the world to me.
ANY CATETRASTROPHY LIKE THIS IS HORRIFIC BUT KATRINA WAS WORSE THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DIED AND THEY ARE STILL RECOVERING. I BELIEVE IN PUERTO RICO WHERE THEY ARE STILL RECOVERING THAT IT WAS FAR WORSE THAN THEY ARE TELLING US. DEATH I'M REFERRING TOO!!! THOSE POOR PEOPLE ARE TRULY DEVASTATED BECAUSE IT IS AN ISLAND AND FILLED WITH WEAK FOUNDATIONS ON THEIR HOUSES SO THERE ARE GONE TREES ETC... THIS IS HARD SEEING PEOPLE GOING THROUGH THIS WONDERING HOW LONG BEFORE CHRIST COMES..... PRESERVER IN PRAYERS LOVE THE ALMIGHTY JEHOVAH GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEARTS MINDS SOUL WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH....
sweetwildangel1 Harvey was way worse. The size comparison of Houston and New Orleans is huge. There was not one part of Houston that didn’t flood, Galveston is smaller now. It keeps getting smaller as time goes on but it’s terrible
The mayor of nee orleans actually starting to evac the city since the katrina disaster
Seeing my hometown being like this still breaks my heart . God Bless everyone in Houston and God Bless Texas😭😭❤❤
Aameen
I know. It happened to me too. I am sorry
God is cleaning texas
This also happened to me, I legit cried, looking at it now it looks more deadly than I saw.
I'm old and disabled. I lost everything to Harvey. And I'm still homeless because of that storm. The people in general, we stuck together. But the government, well.......
All governments of the world are evil and controlled by Satan that's why they really don't help the poor (1John 5: 19). They will soon reap what they sow (Galatians 6: 7, 8) (Daniel 2: 44).
That's how New Orleans felt 12 years before Houston
Oh Lord ! So terrible prayers and love to all Houston to all Texas! Love from the UK God knows all those darling animals too prayers that the Lord has mercy on them and all
I had to pets at the time and they lived
Houston came back like a champ!
god bless Texas! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
until it rains again!!
Texas......it’s just a different kinda state. Even the residents who drive on their backroads and interstates drive like they have sense. The people are friendly AF. The people helping people in this video is common place in Texas!!
I'm from Texas and I can agree
I was in MD Anderson hospital while this went down. As a lifelong Texan I was very proud of how this was handled. Just a surreal time
I was in Southwest Houston just chilling playing video games while the storm was going on. We were so lucky our neighborhood did not get flooded and never lost electricity. I am here now because we have yet another Hurricane headed for Houston, Hurricane Laura in 2020.
which it didn't
@@spartan7199 changed course 2 days out- we had a lot of anxiety about it being a direct hit to the Galveston/Houston region.
@@spartan7199 im same as the commentor but it is around southwest houston and i live in sw houston above westbury
This is horrific
i know
Still proud of how much we helped each other and all of the out of state volunteers.
It was very hard to see people's livelihood gone at an instant. I lived in it and through it and am truly grateful. Houstonians always come together through crisis. I had a little boat to help people through the waters. I felt bad because the big boat was not running but we did what we could. No matter the outcomes Houston will be strong forever. #HoustonStrong.
Two years ago it was Chennai, india
Now its texas, usa
All we can do is to pray from india
2 years later
Again
Bottom line Americans take care of each other, it's the way we roll in the USA 🇺🇸
Dawn Baker - ever since racist Europeans stole this land centuries ago, peoples mentalites, and behaviors have gone down hill. This country is still divided in the 21st century because of racist pale skin elite males in grown bodies that/who still controls, and runs the governmen as well as society.
It is getting worse.
Actually fema wasn’t helping ppl that got flooded soooo
Lol Tell that to the people of Hurricane Katrina. Talkin about some Americans take care of each other that's how we roll yeah whatever.
Dawn Baker YES BUT THE GOVERNMENT IS PURE DEMONIC...NWO IS HERE .
@@e.theresebradley5966 oh great another religous luny
terribly sad....heart goes out to these good people
@ZionHillCalling f u those assholes got what they deserved. Stfu
Poor elderlys they can barely move 😢
We stand beside our neighbors, and aid them in times of need. That is the Houston way.
Harvey was devastating. My one brother's house was flooded. What some people don't realize, Harvey made landfall close to Corpus Christi and moved up the Texas coast. Pretty much the entire coastline was flooded from Corpus all the way into Louisiana. Devastating flooding. I lived and still live about 35 miles northeast of Houston. At one point my small town was at the top of the list for most rainfall. It was unreal how fast the water rose! And it was so cold, which is unusual for hurricane temps. 4 1/2 years later and there are still some people trying to recover.
I still remember going to the grocery store, right before it hit us, and it was basically empty, just wanted to get extra "just in case". No water, no food... I'm going to prepare better now, since hurricane season is back...
#HoustonStrong 🤘💙
Edit: That aftermath smell, was horrible!! Horrible is even an understatement!
houston got so much help and support omg, the caribbean could never
This
This
This
it was so bad. when we finally saw some sun it brought us some sort of peace. almost 3 years since it’s happened & we still think about it everyday
Our Father in Heaven have mercy on Houston
Let them REPENT.
bless all in in Harvey
It's time for a Change on how houses are being build for these locations where are known to be impacted by Hurricanes like Luoisann
😢 very sad
The one thing I remember is the rain. The rain didn't want to stop. It just kept coming. I remember seeing Upper Bray's Bayou overflowing out of its banks near Highway 6 and the Westpark Tollway
It was a nightmare for me. My spouse was ordered to work the night it started and was not able to get back into Houston for over a week later, leaving me stranded at home alone the entire time. I did the best I could to save our home. We were so much more fortunate than others. Just 3 blocks from the house flooding was at 6 ft yet somehow it didn't reach mine. I prayed the whole time and felt that God put his arms around me keeping me safe. Soon after we moved away from Houston to be more inland.
I live 45 minutes South of Houston...This was so horrible...it will take so long to recover from this...God Bless Texas..
Yep it did take a long time
My house was flooded by Harvey. I was only 7 and I have a little brother that was only 4 at that time. It took around 2-3 weeks to find a house. We lived at my grandma's house. We found a apartment and a lot of my family stuff was ok but we still lost a lot. I almost cry thinking about that day. I had to walk in the flood water. We called for help a few times but no one came. My family is good know and have been living in the apartment for 3 years know
My house flooded from hurricane Ian and I was lucky I was in a hotel because my house had 4-5 feet of water in it. Living in temporary housing right now.
I live in Houston Tx and I got caught by Hurricane harvey
Sifong Manisa same
Me too 😔
Also please realize many people live paycheck to paycheck and may not have vehichles to leave. Those who want to stay let them because so many others need and want help! Hopefully they will later take the help but help the ones who really need it!
my heart goes out really #helphouston #hopeforhouston #lovetohouston
I’m so impressed with their philosophical attitude. Can’t imagine New Yorkers being like this. Lots of love from London England. XX
I went there for three days. With my gator tail. Was happy to help. Was crazy launching my boat on i-10
Wow! I didn't realize that Houston TX went through this a couple of years ago.
It's the latest news to me!
I guess they are quite resilient.
Yep and now there's Tropical Depression Imelda over us.
God bless everyone love to all
I lived in spring tx during this time. I’m still trying to get things on track not to mention I just loss my husband March 2019. My heart goes out to the ppl are going through similar situation right now today in Texas. I’m praying for better days. In Jesus name amen 🙏.
I lived in central green during Harvey and lord did that rain come up
To top this disaster Mother Nature frozen Houston. That was unexpected to a city that hardly got snow.
I am just now noticing how much of a blessing it was that my house was not flooded in the storm and i survived
I feel so bad for Texas
wavy._bieber not me the rasicts deserved it
Wow, what an idiot. We just watched four days of white racist bubbus with bass boats saving Blacks and mexicans non stop.
@@reigndrops7558 there's no racist down here
Praying for safety 🌹🌹🙏🏻🙏🏻
Don't live in Humble, Atascosita or Kingwood. These places where devasted in Hurricane Harvey. I live on the otherside of the 45 Veterans Memorial. We didn't flood but the rest of Houston didn't fair to well.
I feel sorry for them.... I hope everyone it's okk...god bless America
This is so common in the uk. Devastating, I feel for all.
Gabrielle. Haire i live in the U.K. And yes we get a lot off flash flooding but this is another level
This was different we had 60 inches of rain dropped on us
I am making a music video to raise awareness for a fund that some of my teammates started to raise money for repairs and want to know if i can use the first 30 seconds or so of this video. It does a great job at portraying the type of damage that has occurred here in Houston.
We are Houston Strong Baby!
We moved .....besides flooding it’s turning into a very unsafe place.
where is it safe
@@user-xp1xm8pr5j small towns
I live in Houston I was in Puerto Rico during Harvey then when I came back everything was a lake but then Maria happened in Puerto Rico I should name myself lucky I guess
As someone who lived through this, I still panic for about a minute every time it starts to pour heavily. It was awful going through it and it's still awful the effect it still has on us.
Jessica Vetter same 😳
Jessica r u from Houston?
O God almighty have mercy on everyone in these places 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Indeed, but Houston's peoples refused President Trump's correct Judgement.
Damn people. We wasn't hit by hurricane Harvey. We was hit from rain by harvey
Wow this sucks, 75 centimeters of water, we don't even have American reporters anymore.
Houston we've got a problem
JuniJuin Enero haha
JuniJuin Enero 'we have a problem'. Not 'we've got'
Collin Taylor Be nice.
Texas Cat ur he right ... it is a big problem ...
JuniJuin Enero not cool
The messed up thing is that home builders in Houston are still building homes in flood areas and are even covering water with soil and grass and building homes on top of it it’s a disaster waiting to happen for the owner
Stuff like this will only get worse because the globe is still warming nicely.
No such thing as global warming this always happens in Houston
I absolutely hate the person with the dog "Lexi." We have meteorologists and things now. There's no way they didn't know a storm was coming whether they knew it was gonna flood or not. She left her cats locked in cages in a back room? Bad pet ownership.
Im crying for all the animals that were not saved.
John J---I'm crying for the animals, too. I can't believe that woman left her cats in crates. She should have at least let them free. When the water recedes at least they could have scavenged. Now they will die for sure.
John J Most will survive if set free
Katelyn Rose ikr? I keep thinking abt it. Hope a miracle happens for them. Humans should think better for other lives..
I'm crying for the people who lost their lives.
Sadly, when events unfold such as this the animals are rarely thought about as most people are selfish and only think about themselves. I accept that it's not possible to save all animals or humans yet the majority don't even try.
I lived in Houston I was like two years old in 2017 this was the worst the neighborhood was flooding man😞 I’m so lucky I survive all this God’s work🙏🙏
i can’t believe it’s already been almost a year
Desiree Canales r u from Houston?
Only the strong, mobile, & prepped will survive the ongoing demise of our biosphere.
I experiences hurricane Harvey too I live in Houston it was very scary
This was one of the worst experience we went thru
Señor ten PIEDAD Y Misericordia DE Texas y sus habitantes
So glad they have their dogs
That's the human spirit in times of crisis. We forget our divisions in an instant.
Americans are troupers, they will be fine. Closer to each other!
The day after tomorrow IRL
Ive never lived in houston, but why did the city not have levees in place and pump stations to keep water from going back up the storm drains. Also, why do people still keep building at sea level when they know this will happen at least once every 10 years
RaviWay Inc. We have them the water came up so fast we had to empty them to keep them from breaking
Houston lies on a fairly flat plain. During Harvey it rained so much that the bayous that empty into the Gulf couldn’t carry the water fast enough to keep the bayous from overflowing their banks. The Addicks and Barker Reservoirs were built to mainly protect western and downtown Houston. They work by collecting the water upstream and then releasing the water into the bayou in a controlled manner. Harvey dumped so much water that water was spilling into the bayou at an uncontrolled rate and they had to open the floodgates more because the dam was threatening to breach. If the dam had broken during Harvey, thousands more would have died. The Army Corps of Engineers has a very tough decision to make during Harvey and I believe they made the correct choice. They chose to sacrifice homes immediately downstream from the reservoirs in order to limit the amount of flooding that could have been done if the dam broke.
Living in Houston watching the video really sad to say only touches a small part of the pain at no fault of the reporter!
One guy said he went to a home and the woman had a pittie in a cage that she let drown. WHY KEEP THE DOG IN A CAGE IN THIS INSTANCE??? WHAT A PIECE OF WORK. I'd rather the woman drowned and the pittie was saved.
50sVintage sad... some ppl shouldnt hv pets..
villfer78 why say that ??
Ud rather a human die than a dog. Ok psycho
So devastating & sad. When the governor says " Our infrastructure is designed for a 100 year flood"...that's a problem. Now they have a once in 1000 year flood. Why would anyone build a whole city in a massive flood plain? Every one donate $$$...they are going to need it.
Im veryyyyy sad for them animals people god with u all
Fuc u think about yah life first.
We bless this year 2020 Houston Texas no flooding.
naturally many were destroyed by the windstorms, tornadoes, because most of the houses were wooden.
It is hard to watch this video 5 years later as the flooding was bad and I pray for the people that were hurt
It was a school day for me and I woke up to my dad watching the news and telling me that there was a hurricane which was harvey and that they had canceled school but it was raining for a week. after the week past my family and I were so happy to see the sun Monday morning.
LORD ALMIGHTY PLEASE HAVE MERCY UPON THEM.
Still sad to see this. #HoustonStrong always💜
TIRED OF THE ADS!!!!!!!!!!!
This is exactly why I don’t live in Texas… hurricanes, tornadoes, mosquitoes, and ignorant people.
the mold issue after the water subsides is going to be terrible
where the hell is the largest army in the world to help these people!
Many troops are deployed. We have the National Guard, who is currently helping with rescues. Just because they aren't shown in this video doesn't mean they aren't there.
The largest army in the world is in China. I don't think they're coming.
GizzmoD catching immigrants to send back to mexico. Lol
LOL!!!! your not wrong lol
Too busy making war and KILLING other people
That lady left her cats behind?! 🤬 3:55
I need to know if they made it.
Well she didn’t have a choice :(
i feel very very sorry for the loss of life & property ,it is very sad to see people loosing their all hard earned money
Sachin Doshi I don't care
Reign Drops
I lived through tropical storm Allison. When I saw the forecast models I told everyone that I could to leave the Houston area. I warned them that it would be like Katrina but basically everyone had the same attitude. They felt like it wouldn't be nearly that bad. I got the hell out of there as I live near Katy and went to Alabama. Could only watch in horror on tv like everyone else. Took 8 days before I was able to come back home
i lived through both….. allison was a joke compared to harvey
And your president doesn't believe in global warming lol
Because it isn’t real
as a rockets fan, im happy our city is fine
"And it hasn't stopped" - *passing a stop sign*
I was 9 when I was in the middle of harvey my streets were flooded fish were swimming through my legs the river nearby overflooded and broke the bridge
People lost everything so sad the rich should help the helpless
I’m a family that fled the hurricane Harvey and had went to Florida only to have been hit by hurricane Irma...
Man.....WHAT THE ***DARK SIDE*** IS CAUSING🖤💔🖤
I remember it well. I was outside watching the water inching up closer and closer to my home, while cussing up a storm. LOL
Remembering hurricane Harvey, I’m so glad that beryl was only 1 day
I will never forget that day 🙁
This is why homeowners insurance and flood insurance were invented - people in Houston are used to do this, we get serious storms all the time, we know that in May we must stock up and prepare. As always the question is do we and why people do not
I thank God Harvey didn't effect my house like Ike did in 2008. Ike had my lights off for almost two months my lights were on during Harvey but I couldn't get past a mile driving away from my neighborhood.
I love my place but its it's time to move
Every time it rains I get water in my place...
Sick of it
I live in Houston my whole house was under warter and we hade to get every thing done
this is not normal.somebody is doing this purposely go figure..should be easy
Remember texas got away with not calling for evacuations
