Revgirl2017
They should have never been in that photo, heartbreaking. This country wants to help everybody,we need to take care of our own first !

Nurse, these new pills give me a floating feeling.
periodfart
This is pitiful, glad they're rescued!
MattFromQuality
I love how that one is straight up knotting
IhopeIdontspelanythingwrong
I'm sure one of them has life alert
MironGaines
This really is one of the craziest pictures I've ever seen. It should be in an ISpy book

I know they've been rescued but this breaks my heart

OMG the staph infection rates will not be good. That water has to be so dirty!!!
IAteBatman
That poor little kitty cat
Baughr
This whole image is sad except for that cat! I bet he/she is pissed and doesn't want to get wet lol... But yeah otherwise very sad
iamdeathandthisismyvalley
I'll be very angry if she didn't get rescued as well
NoMasDolor
Inexcusable that it got that bad and they were still in there like that.

Helen, I think I wet myself.

I am going to hell for so many other things, but laughing at this was just added to the list

Thats a sewage bath right there. Not good

I hope the kitty got rescued too!

They were told not to evacuate. ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME.

Tell me what you want, but for me the US is a 3rd world country.
NormalVariant
Where is the staff? I mean I hope this isn't like Katrina when a nursing home just left the patients behind with nothing.
Grilledcheeses
I... Is that cat food on the table?
NoMasDolor
There is a cat in the background on the right
Grilledcheeses
Oh man I thought those poor ladies were snacking on meow mix.
JamiesEPIRB
Why weren't they evacuated before the storm, did they forget about Katrina?
thesmelge
Argh! This demands an alzheimers joke, but common decency is stopping me.
JamiesEPIRB
Yep, the part of me that's is driving my soul to hell has a few jokes, but the halo wearing half is keeping me in line.

Why is the power still on!? Lol
UpvoteFairy3001
A lot of facilities have back up generators. Although idk how well a back up generator would do in a flood

Someone can afford a popcorn machine but not rent a bus?
GoochoLibre
You'd be surprised what some folks donate, too. :)
grandma4geology
Do you think they bought the popcorn machine yesterday?

Thank you. This made by blood boil. Who forgets grandma?! Article says local residents got them out by boat first & then were air lifted

I would like to know who is taking the picture and how is the electricity not out?
unclepeyt
That's a lot of piss.

Why is the power still on if water gets somewhere it shouldn't they are all getting electrocuted aren't they?
NZSheeps
Probably low voltage emergency lighting
UpvoteFairy3001
That doesn't look like any emergency light I have ever seen. All of them in my facility are rectangular and have 1 bulb on both sides.
NZSheeps
We have some here at work like that. They double as normal lighting with a 12v backup circuit.
drdsanchezjr
They're pretty much like birds on a power line. There needs to be a voltage difference for current to flow through the body and the water1
drdsanchezjr
is all at the same voltage so there is no difference

Is that woman knitting AS SHE is drowning? Did these elderly even know what was happening?
leighlovesbooks
Looks like she's actually holding a handbag.
ConveyEmotionsViaGifs
After all the stuff she has to have lived through, and you expect that to phase her?
LithiumGrease
i believe it is called stress knitting
UpvoteFairy3001
Man if that happened in my facility half would refuse to get out of bed. The other half would go swimming. The elderly dgaf

Generally, little old ladies possess a hidden reservoir of badassdom. Here, Ethel demonstrates hers by giving no fucks.
seanvt
I read she was knitting to help relax herself.
Vaanhalen
This sounds like every old lady in my life.

I mean, the hell else she supposed to do?

Knitting a life vest perhaps?

Nice update! Hope the owner goes to jail
BondHaimBond
they still own grannies in TX?
toasteheh
What if rescue simply did not had the resources to get to them in time? Also, where the fuck are these people's families?
nclu
Families can for or have never been made. Parents can burn bridges or strike out on their own cross-country.

Shoot: for => die

For fuk sake. Wtf is wrong with the city. No mandatory evacuation, voluntary only. If your stuck like this, you don't get to elect to leave
porcupinebuttsniffer
you're*
Neptunedreams
There's 4 million people in Houston, there's no way to evacuate all these people. The roads would be jammed and more people would die.
NVGoddesscottage
They had ample notice.
cattoebeans
Just compare the pictures of Rita's traffic jams to Harvey's flooded highways. Mass evacuation would have been insane.
Neptunedreams
Yup. I was stuck in that traffic jam
