"We Are Stronger" A Poem by Steven F Gooden We're never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we're one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one's destiny. More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in our flaws are what defines our features, they're uniquely ours, as human creatures. We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night. Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark. by Steven Gooden

I generally expect I won’t be grabbing them because we drove into submarine depths. Mostly in case we can’t stay put and have to wade out. Or to throw to someone else in distress . The flat one doesn’t take up much room. It’s handy for a seat cushion or pad cargo. When placed over my cooler on a sunny day, the ice packs don’t melt as fast. Considering how many people live in flood zones, and how many drown on the roadway, everyone should have some in their vehicles. Be safe Happy motoring 👍😎

Besides, he was just a young teenager.

I live on Weber and Dunbrook in Corpus Christi and it didn't flood in my area when this disturbance hit the city. This area per the video ALWAYS floods because of the drainage system. Btw, it rained Saturday at 8pm all thru the night and all day Sunday in my area...no flooding

Please send some of that water to Arizona. We really need it. 😭

It is a tropical storm that is moving westwards. It will greatly enhance the SW Monsoon later this week.

"We Are Stronger" A Poem by Steven F Gooden We're never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we're one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one's destiny. More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in our flaws are what defines our features, they're uniquely ours, as human creatures. We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night. Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark. by Steven Gooden

All EV's are designed to handle wet conditions yes. But submerging them completely is a no no as with any other car. Both gas and electric vehicles are severely prone to fires when submerged, as moisture will always be present in the wire harnesses. It is not an issue specific to electric vehicles. And my understanding Teslas battery packs are completely sealed from the elements .

Corpus is so flat, that is why that happens repeatedly in spite of all the engineering done to abate it.

Nothing surprising about it. It's called climate change. People have known it's going to happen for decades. The parts of the US South West of course always have such flooding during the monsoon season. But over time it's slowly getting worse especially globally.

Ah! The myth of climate change

Sad to say, this is my hometown. The flooding is due to one or both of two things. One, lack of cleaning of storm drains, which collect tons of trash and end up blocking them, preventing proper drainage. Second, corruption by current and past city elected officials, most of whom have been real estate developers and building contractors, that have pushed for residential development in known flood plains. As long as they get their dollar, though.
