Texas' flood reminds me of a story from "The West Wing"

"FATHER CAVANAUGH
You know, you remind me of the man that lived by the river. He heard a radio
report
that the river was going to rush up and flood the town. And that all the
residents
should evacuate their homes. But the man said, 'I'm religious. I pray. God
loves me.
God will save me.' The waters rose up. A guy in a row boat came along and
he shouted,
'Hey, hey you! You in there. The town is flooding. Let me take you to safety.'
But the
man shouted back, 'I'm religious. I pray. God loves me. God will save me.'
A helicopter
was hovering overhead. And a guy with a megaphone shouted, 'Hey you, you
down there.
The town is flooding. Let me drop this ladder and I'll take you to safety.'
But the
man shouted back that he was religious, that he prayed, that God loved him
and that
God will take him to safety. Well... the man drowned. And standing at the
gates of
St. Peter, he demanded an audience with God. 'Lord,' he said, 'I'm a religious
man,
I pray. I thought you loved me. Why did this happen?' God said, 'I sent you
a radio
report, a helicopter, and a guy in a rowboat. What the hell are you doing
here?'"

Texas was given many chances to avoid this flood. God sent: liberals warning of climate change, scientists warning of climate change, made many tv exposes' and documentaries about climate change, and every time it rained hard someone on tv said "turn around, don't drown" about not driving into flood waters.

So for the people who died in their vehicles driving into flooded areas, "What the hell are ya doing here?"

When the San Andreas Fault splits California in half, will you make the same joke?

People are overhyping the severity of this rain. I've been in Houston the entire time these storms have been hitting us, and I'm not underwater. Everything I own is perfectly fine... same with most of the people I know here in Houston. Certain places are prone to flooding, so you gotta keep that in mind when moving somewhere. Those who didn't, well, they aren't gonna like the rain as much as the rest of us lol.

Hell, the other night I was out at a park just walkin' around a lake in the rain, just listening to music and enjoying the lightning show. We were under tornado watch and had flash flood warnings, lightning everywhere, high winds... DAYUM it was beautiful. I love storms so much. It just makes me feel so alive!
