Lol. We’re just not going anywhere

 

[Dacvak]

I’m out of range, but I wish my southern brethren luck. I hope it’s not a biggun.

 

[West Texas CEO]

Stay safe, my Houstonian friends.

HEB was a madhouse today, literally gridlock in the parking lot with people fighting for parking spots.

Could you get more than 2 brisket?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Looking at that radar image it looks like it's going to miss Houston

 

[AJUMP23]

Enjoy the wash.

 

[abstract alien]

It's not so bad. The power is out, but I'm having a beer and watching it blow through. It's like you can feel the arms and pockets of the storm the exact way it's illustrated.

 

[AJUMP23]

It is a CAT 1 hurricane, I just saw a weather report where a weather guy is standing out saying trees are being blown over. But these looked like threes in a car park that had just been planted without established roots.

It a low CAT 1 laughing from Florida

This is why your state is shaped like a dick.

I didn't even bother going to the grocery store. I went and had dinner instead because it was my birthday. No way I'd subject myself to that madness.

Yeah we like to fuck

Power is out. No way I would step foot in an HEB right now, was in costco on Saturday and the line to get gas circled their parking lot.
Watching all the fences in my neighborhood blow around and playing some Elden ring.

I’m guessing HEB is closed anyway.

They said their stores in this area would be closed until noon at the earliest.

Probably won't have power

I didn't lose power

 

[ScythD]

We just got power back here on the northwest side of town. There are still 1.5 million people without power.

With the crime, traffic, and weather, not sure how people put up with that city.

Crimes not that bad, best food in all of Texas and the people are awesome. We dont care who you are or where your from just have good vibes and we're good. I can't speak for the suburbs though I'm in the city. Weather is horrible I'll give you that one.

It was top 20 for crime in the US the years I lived there and still is. Never again.

I watch a channel on YT called active self protection and they show violence in the US from various store cameras etc. 80% of the US vids are in Houston lol. The rest are usually Brazil.

I'm a native. The place sucks.

Active self protection? Wtf? You can't live scared. St Louis, Memphis, Cleveland, Little Rock, Kansas City are all worse and those are tiny little shitholes. You got to take the good with the bad.

ASP is just an educational channel for concealed carrier folks. Its not about fear, its the legality of scenarios shown and disected. I was responding to your last post that it's not that bad. Statistically it is. Sures there's worse, hell, we could go live in Ukraine. Why don't we? Because theres a much higher chance of death. Houston is incredibly more dangerous than where I live now. No reason to go back along with increased chance of hurricanes.

"Concealed carry" "Incredibly more dangerous" "increased chances of hurricanes" "not about fear" Lol ok. 51 years in the inner city. NOTHING ever happened to me any of my family or friends anecdotal and all but still. I'll take my chances.

There are people that live in inner city Chicago without any incidents too, that's not the point.

Anyway, it's crazy to me that a fellow Texan is ranting about carrying a gun equaling fear. Or simply feeling like the food isn't worth dealing with thar weather or traffic. "Must be afraid!!"

Lol ranting ok. You hate Houston? Cool. Go be not scared and not paranoid somewhere else. Also don't shoot me.

 

[Trilobit]

Wait, there are people from Houston here?

Edit: I'm a Scandinavian, but I just wanted to be part of the banter between Americans. I have no idea where Houston is, but I'm gonna presume they wear cowboy hats and eat hamburgers there. Stay safe!

Now I "hate" Houston because I don't want to live there. It's just not my choice.

I like how everything needs to be an extreme description about an opposing view simply because you don't agree. Typical tactic to protect your choices by demonizing others.

I have zero issue with yours, it's just not for me when in my view, I have better options.

Lol. Not me. I’m a certified gun nut and carry daily.

"Demonizing" by saying that it has a high crime rate(which is true) and bad weather(which you admitted)

Romulus You came to shit on houston in a thread about a hurricane. Double check your doors are locked and your security system is working fine wherever you live and keep your bloodlust in check wouldn't want to go to prison. I'm done replying to you.

Wow. Wasn’t expecting all this in the thread.

This is all true.

Houston is a train wreck of city… it’s also dynamic, interesting, diverse, and the people are awesome.
