Just read a great story in Reader's Digest about the Cajun Navy and an app called Zello that a woman and others used to coordinate rescues for people after Hurricane Harvey. Never heard this story before, and it could be so helpful to many. Thanks mainstream media, you absolutely suck! https://www.rd.com/true-stories/inspiring/cajun-navy/

Seems like mainstream media has so many people working to assassinate Trump that they can't be bothered to cover this storm. I guess they have their priorities. It is a holiday weekend after all, and it can be exhausting inventing the news so a bit of rest is surely welcomed.

This is just the first storm of the Hurricane season ... what if they just keep coming this year till they run out of names?

Who you going to blame then?

Did you see those flash floods in Maryland this morning ... 8" of rain in one hour.
