      These "500 year floods" have been happening a little too often. Especially as climate changes, induction as prediction will not work well.pic.twitter.com/4ocEj3PmkZ

      BUT: This altruism has a shelf life. Proper recovery will take years. It will be frustrating and exhausting. Choose organizations wisely.

      If you have loved ones threatened by Harvey: Text, don't call. Cellular services get overloaded in disasters. Leave voice bandwidth for 911.

      Yes. Money, not stuff, is the most efficient way to distribute aid; and also recovery will need long-term spending. https://twitter.com/texasinafrica/status/901844707852070912 …

      Trump calls this a ‘500-year flood’. Some other notable 500 year floods happened in 2011, 2009, 2008, 1993, and 1927. Modeling is hard.

          When I was in TX Tornados in 2015, I had no power - Just my phone for alerts. Ppl filled up dedicated hashtags with blessings & other BS.
