And I am thinking what are these people thinking stay home.
Then I thought maybe they dont have power and have no clue how bad it is?

That is not good as that is exactly how many people died in New Orleans ..they got trapped in their attic with no way out once the waters rose even further.

Weather dude local
Tropical storms produce the most rainfall in the nightime as temps change tonight is going to be pretty much as bad as last night was which is hard to comprehend
News crew trapped on expressway
1000 high water evacs thus far

Hopefully "we" have learned from whatever rescue mistakes happened during that storm.

Everyone who may be in a hurricane should keep axes in their attic so they can use it to hack through their rooftop if necessary. Most likely they have lost power so a electric saw or a saws-all would not work unless it is battery operated.
I knew this was going to get much worse before it gets better and the rains are going to come down for a few more days.
Its just begun for some.

This is so scary. This page has a lot of recent updates:
First responders, risking their lives to save others, are having a tough time keeping up with the calls. There have been more than 500 rescues, Chief Acevedo said.
Emergency officials in Houston are urging everyone not to call 911 unless your life is in danger.
Five people have died in the Houston area in unconfirmed flood-related deaths, according to the National Weather Service.
The hardest hit areas appear to be south of I-45.
They've had 15 to 30 inches of rain in six hours. [per CNN, they could get ANOTHER 30 inches!]
Several bayous are out of their banks or close to it.
As for the immediate forecast for Houston, we have a 100 percent chance of rain through Tuesday. Houston could receive 15 to 20 inches of rain before this is over.

''Found an update for this one:
It was retweeted more than 1,000 times. Two hours later, she tweeted that they were safe.
"Got picked up by fire and rescue. Thank You. One of you had connections and all I can say is I'll be eternally grateful."
