The man you just showed floating on the log in Zion...if you slow down the video and zoom in, you see the girl who is missing, she is in the water w him, turned around facing him, floating backwards, holding onto something. I could see her very clearly in another video posted yesterday.

Send the water in buses to New York.:)

Glad rescuers don't risk their lives like they used to! They're also sending the bills after for the rescue! Everyone who doesn't heed warnings, deserve what they have coming for them

Catastrophic flooding in Texas is becoming a regular thing.

[Sarappreciates]

Aww Texas, can we please try discussing climate change solutions now?

[MegaCassie]

We Indigenous people said this will happen but you didn't listen. Calling us slurs and yelling how climate change ain't real. Look at you now.

Heat wave in North East. SUN heated all the water 💧 causing it to raise into atmosphere. The clouds ⛅️ travel south and dump all the water in

I got off work at 1 am in the middle of the storm. I only live 4 miles away in Old East Dallas and it took me 45 minutes to get home because I had to keep turning around due to high waters. When I got home, 30 minutes late, I realized the magnitude of the storm when a fire truck parked in from of my apartments. Right at the corner the water was so high a Benz was half way submerged with someone climbing out. Then I woke up to see stuff like this on my local news. We needed this rain, but man, it would of been nice if the west got this!

Jeez. I don't like Texas politics but I sure pray for their safety during this horrible flooding. We may disagree on some things but we are brothers and sisters and I wish you well. 💕

[Jonathon]

Well hopefully Lake Mead will get some much needed refilling

Fun fact: There are parts of west Texas that did not experience rain for 7 years. From 1950 to 1957 it simply did not rain. Natives called it the "drouth." There were 7 year old kids who'd never seen rain. Women had to drive two counties away to buy rain coats. FDR visited and declared it a disaster area. Then almost immediately after his visit it started raining and just did not stop, doing almost as much damage as the drought.

Al Gore told us this was coming, only to be ridiculed. Remember?

[videorocketzmillarmilla]

Wait till hurricanes come. The cuty can't handle the rain. Time to move to Wyoming. Don't wait. Go now. Worse is not over. Its only the start. Get yoyr flood insurance check and move North.

My thoughts and prayers are with you all.❤️🙏🏼✝️🕊🫶🏻
