and the GOP is creating an even greater ClusterFluck albeit they keep telling each other how great and wonderful they are all the while ten s of thousands ofvictims are running out of drinking water.

I guess they were in such shock that a Gulf storm would even rain on TX , they forgot about how to figure up how much drinking water is need for millions of people....

GOP is Evil!

7. Ret. General Rips Officials For Chummy Storm Response: Stop Patting Each Other on the Back

Days after Hurricane Harvey first made landfall in Texas and caused widespread devastation, the state is still getting a grip on the actual scope of the damage. As of publication, 30 people have been killed by the storm and floods, and thousands still need to be rescued. Meanwhile, tens of thousands have gathered in emergency shelters throughout the area.

Wednesday — one day after President Donald Trump praised the response by government officials and agencies, stating that they’d all be able to “congratulate each other” after it was over — a retired general provided an entirely different take to CNN.

Speaking to host Erin Burnett from Houston, Lt. General Russel Honore (Ret.) tore into the effort so far from officials — federal, state and local — while pointing out that they don’t have a grip on how large this disaster really is.

Honore, who commanded the military response to Hurricane Katrina, noted that the state needs to realize the job is too big for the National Guard and give control to the US military, saying that state officials need to “get the hell over it.” The retired general also said that evacuations should have happened earlier, stating that the elderly, sick and those in areas previously flooded should have been the first to have been evacuated.
