4. People can gather drinkingwater from the rain.
This may be the only water the stranded people get for DAYS.

8. Isn't that so sad...
I'm happy that rain will provide drinking water to these survivors.

However--where in the hell is our government?????

There's no DAMN excuse!!

Why aren't they dropping boxes of bottled water or using boats to take supplies to people???????

What in the hell is going on?

Are we supposed to believe that if a hurricane had hit Crawford--that four days after--Junior STILL wouldn't have water to drink?

What in the world is going on? Are the purposely making this worse for these people???????????

14. I don't know. It makes no sense.
It's so horrible I can't even believe it.

:cry:

It can't be real but it is. It's hard to believe it is only incompetence, but I can't wrap my head around the idea that the admin doesn't care. With all the horrible things they have done I still don't want to believe it.

:cry:

5. I may have to go back to church...
I've been sending out prayers to anyone who would listen the last couple of days for a little summer shower to help cool people off and provide some drinkable water.

10. People in high places run the risk of getting zapped by lightening,
as in people on top of their homes, apartment buildings, etc.

This could be good news, AND bad news.

11. While the rain is good for those dying of thirst.
The lightning is decidedly bad for those up to their ankles in wastewater.

I hope people do their best to be careful.
