Marjorie Greene said it was government controlled. We should ask them to turn it off

I live in West Texas……Bone dry here!
Yikes!
A few years ago a flash flood hit north of town.
Our park became a lake, and businesses flooded out.
But thankfully no one was hurt.
It was a small reminder to respect nature.

Plus, be wary of water on the road.

It’s not like scientists haven’t been warning us about these weather emergencies for decades now.

I'm favoured only God knows how much I praise Him, $230k every 4weeks! I now have a big mansion and can now afford anything and also support God’s work and the church.
