    As the streets flooded around him during Hurricane Harvey, Wayne Dailey called 911 four times in 21 hours. His wife was sick, and she was getting worse.https://nyti.ms/2Ot7b1J

        “I’m really, really, really, really needing her to get her to a hospital ASAP," he said on his third 911 call. The call-taker told him that there were thousands of calls for service in the area.https://nyti.ms/2OthnHD

        He saw a helicopter with a rescue line and climbed to his roof. “The rescuer, he was leaned out over the side of the helicopter looking down at me. And I kept hollering as loud as I can, ‘My wife's dying, my wife's dying!’" The helicopter kept going.https://nyti.ms/2OzD2O8

        I was there too. And these folks blaming people for not evacuating can have several seats.

        Like I heard someone say, "every storm is like a different movie." I'd been through hurricanes before but never saw one stall like Harvey. It was like an epic disaster movie. Many people got hit for the first time.

        Mandatory listening for those who are interested in basic civic responsibility. Especially instructive for those trying to deflect about PR death toll by saying that Dems were in charge.

        We all pay taxes out of EVERY PAYCHECK. Businesses write most of their tax liability off. @GOP gut our services so they can give their friends/donors MORE tax cuts. & when there is a crisis /natural disaster, do they have our backs? Ask Katrina, Maria, Sandy & Harvey victims. NO!

        This exquisitely reported piece helps bring the reality of such a storm to all readers. This tragedy reduced me to tears. I am so sorry for Wayne's loss.

        I remember one of those nights..or days...they ran together and we got an emergency alert on our phones that said, “do not call 911. We can not help you.” That was terrifying.

        I’m sorry that this happened , people need to take responsibility for themselves.He knew the storm was coming , he was aware of possible flooding and that surgery can have complications!why did he take his wife back to their house in the line of Fire? Then expect to be saved.

        You need to not. I live in Houston. 1.) we were told not to evacuate. 2.) if we HAD evacuated the death toll would have been catastrophic-in the thousands- because we would have all been on the roads at the same time. 3.) I live 50 MILES inland from the coast and got 50” of rain.

        They weren’t, they were specifically told not to. You can’t evacuate a city of 6 million people.

        I don’t think people understand how big Houston and the surrounding areas are. Peope evacuated for Rita and trips that took 4hrs were taking 18-24 because millions were on the road. The death toll would have been in the thousands of wed evacuated
