Default Beaumont, Texas now loses water supply

I swear -- I don't think I have ever seen a city receive such a severe beating as Beaumont, Texas is getting. The epic punishment unleashed on these people is simply staggering.

The city has now lost its water supply, due to Hurricane Harvey. It is now being said that Beaumont has fared even worse than Houston. Beaumont is being called a "watery wasteland," and one official says he has never seen anything like it. One journalist, seeing the city in total by helicopter, said there are no streets left which are even visible. "There are no streets," he said, "only rivers."

Terribly, terribly sad. They are not only on their knees, but on their bellies, face down in the waters and desperate for the help of those of us who have been so much more fortunate. Two useful links:

Michael, thank you. That is much appreciated. The storm has passed us now, and only recovery remains.

I am so sorry to see that, according to Professor Gwynn, the top scientists and meteorologists, photographers, major news networks and the universe of social media are apparently all engaged in a conspiracy to mis-report the news about Beaumont. It would seem their problems never stop, if this is truly the case.

All I can tell you is that my area, Lake Charles, has received and is receiving very accurate and fair treatment from all of the above. As I trust they are not overplaying the plight in Houston, either.

Jennifer

The Earth outside my window looks flat. But the experts tell me, it is round. Go figure

Any chance they are mixing up the name of Beaumont and a nearby city? Seems like you could lose landmarks easy in high flooding, especially for out of town helicopter media. Clearly someone's city is being wrecked. I can see the film.

But then again we do know that the fabulously rich cabal of climate scientists will do anything to shore up this whole global warming false flag. They have to keep their positions at the control levers of the State. If only things were really run by energy companies and other resource sucking conglomerates. Then truth would flow like pipelines. And blood.

I know Scott Crow a bit. Good lad. Amazing organizing work during Katrina.

I suppose anything is possible, Andrew. But I live only an hour away from the place. I have visited it, all my life. At one time, I even lived in Houston. It is entirely possible those could have been giant sound stages they erected to fool me into thinking it's Beaumont. But I doubt it
