faraway saint Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Texas has been getting an awful lot of rain. Some of the figures are frightening, no surprise this is a disaster. Mr Trump visited, that helped. Edited August 30, 2017 by faraway saint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted August 30, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 The volume of rain is quite astounding. Not a lot they can do about the cities that are already in flood plains, TBH there's not a lot that can be done to stop this amount of rain causing the current chaos. I'm sure, like the floods in nearby Louisiana fairly recently, there will be a lot of people who don't have insurance and will need real help when the water subsides.

smcc Posted August 30, 2017 Report Share Posted August 30, 2017 (edited) Not downplaying the flooding and storm damage in Texas but it seems to be dwarfed by the monsoon floods in India and Bangladesh, where 1200 deaths have been reported. Interesting how little prominence this has received. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/india-floods-bangladesh-nepal-deaths-millions-homeless-latest-news-updates-a7919006.html Edited August 30, 2017 by smcc Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar lack of reporting when bombings happen in Africa or the far east. Certainly not as "interesting" to the media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

faraway saint Posted September 2, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2017 Just now, Slartibartfast said: On a more serious note, there was stuff on some chat show on the radio yesterday about it not getting covered as much, maybe it's a result of complaints. There was an item on News Watch, with a producer indicating the floods in the "far away" places had been getting coverage for quite some time and also it's difficult to get access to these areas. I'm not totally convinced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
