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:
