CNN correspondent Rosa Flores asked a woman by the name of Danielle about her experience protecting her children in the flood waters just moments after she arrived at the shelter. To provide context, this was after waiting for 36 hours for help from emergency services which never came, forcing this woman to wade through 4-feet of contaminated flood runoff to a nearby gas station to hail a cab to the help center. SMH. This mother has been through the ringer with her two kids, and clearly wasn’t feeling being asked about her situation before having a chance to get her family settled in. Her frustration is pretty understandable. Twitter/Getty

Joel Osteen Blasted For Not Opening Church Doors To Flood Victims Folks all over the nation are pretty displeased with Houston Megachurch pastor and motivational Christian speaker Joel Osteen . Even though Houston is the home base for his worldwide, multi-million dollar ministry …somehow, his Sanctuary’s doors aren’t open to those in need during record flooding in his city. The location for Osteen’s Lakewood Church was once upon a time the Compaq Center sports arena — home of the Houston Rockets — and can comfortably seat nearly 17,000 people. But, now that thousands in the city are in distress, displaced, and in need of a safe dry spot to go…the church’s doors are locked. Apparently, Osteen and crew report to TMZ that the reason the church isn’t open for those in need is due to flooding of the roads in the area. But let social media tell it… SMH! Look, we aren’t weather or road experts over here…but that definitely looks like useable space for those in need of help. Getty Images

BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI/AFP/Getty Images Houston Hit By Flooding After Harvey Houston residents are being urged to “shelter in place” or wait on top of their roofs for rescue after the damning effects of Hurricane Harvey. The storm which was a category 4 at landfall dumped torrential rain on the city and southeast Texas causing hundreds of water rescues. “This is a life-threatening situation,” said Michael Palmer, lead meteorologist at the Weather Channel. According to NBC News , the U.S. Coast Guard said it was conducting urban search and rescue operations in the greater Houston area and that its local command center had received more than 300 requests. “Currently there are five MH-65 Dolphin Helicopters conducting rescues,” the statement said. Hurricane Harvey’s claimed at least two lives. One person was found dead in a vehicle in Houston on Saturday night and another died in a house fire in Aransas County that rescuers could not reach because of flooding. So far, President Trump who told residents in the storm’s path “good luck”, has tweeted that this is the “worst storm/hurricane” some people have ever seen. So Katrina, that claimed over 1,000 lives never happened, huh? Many people are now saying that this is the worst storm/hurricane they have ever seen. Good news is that we have great talent on the ground. — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) August 27, 2017 Prayers up to the folks in Houston and surrounding areas.
