1 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: It's that time, time time, time, Luck and load. The 2 00:00:11,520 --> 00:00:30,880 Speaker 1: Michael Arry Show is on the air. There is an 3 00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,559 Speaker 1: update in the case of former Sharpstown to High school 4 00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,840 Speaker 1: standout pitcher Greg Greg Swindell then went to the University 5 00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:44,400 Speaker 1: of Texas, where we also had a stellar career. His 6 00:00:44,600 --> 00:00:49,560 Speaker 1: daughter had gone missing and she had been missing for 7 00:00:49,680 --> 00:00:55,640 Speaker 1: several days. She was believed to be in some way. 8 00:00:56,400 --> 00:00:59,640 Speaker 1: This was believed to be in some way related to 9 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:06,280 Speaker 1: her ex boyfriend, who was out on a warrant for 10 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:15,600 Speaker 1: family violence. My experience with cases like this, not personally 11 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:18,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a law enforcement officer, but talking them through, 12 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:26,640 Speaker 1: talking to officers, you typically have a terrible, terrible result 13 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,840 Speaker 1: because he could be on the run, He could have 14 00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:31,640 Speaker 1: done something to her and be on the run, and 15 00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,800 Speaker 1: that was the expectation. But she has been found, so 16 00:01:35,440 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: this is for now a very good ending. She was 17 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:44,080 Speaker 1: found safe in Oregon. Her ex boyfriend, who she was 18 00:01:44,160 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: last seen with, has been arrested. Greg's Wendell wrote on 19 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:53,520 Speaker 1: Twitter this morning she has been found. That's all we 20 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,520 Speaker 1: have for now. Thank you to everyone, and I mean 21 00:01:56,600 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 1: everyone who helped in this process. She was last seen 22 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 1: on Thursday, August twenty second at Puddy's Hilltop Bar in Spicewood, Texas, 23 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,959 Speaker 1: outside of Austin. Popo said she was with her ex 24 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 1: boyfriend Morgan Guidry. Court document showed that Brenna accused Gidrey 25 00:02:13,800 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 1: of choking her during a domestic violence incident last month. 26 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,920 Speaker 1: She later told Popo she believed or she feared, that 27 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,760 Speaker 1: he would kill her, and arrest warrant was issued for 28 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:33,919 Speaker 1: Guidry on Monday. In that case, I guess there's never 29 00:02:33,960 --> 00:02:37,320 Speaker 1: a bad time to bring this up. But if you 30 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:44,040 Speaker 1: are in a situation with a toxic individual, get out. 31 00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 1: You cannot fix that person. I have watched more cases 32 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: of friends whose daughter, sister, some cases mother is involved 33 00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:05,560 Speaker 1: with a toxic, violent man and they really struggle to leave. 34 00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:12,359 Speaker 1: It's shocking because everybody on the outside can see that 35 00:03:12,400 --> 00:03:14,560 Speaker 1: they need to get out, that it's not going to 36 00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:18,600 Speaker 1: end well, that he's going to knock the snot out 37 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 1: of her, or worse, he's going to beat her, and 38 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,440 Speaker 1: many times that ends up in death, and for whatever reason, 39 00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 1: a woman will go back to him, and it breaks 40 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 1: my heart. I absolutely hate to see it, but it's 41 00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:38,920 Speaker 1: quite common. It's a real phenomenon, and women will do 42 00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: this because They want to see the good because they 43 00:03:42,120 --> 00:03:47,640 Speaker 1: believe that they can save this turd. How many times 44 00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,360 Speaker 1: do you see this and she's the one he kills. 45 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: I'm glad this story ended up well. Let that be 46 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,000 Speaker 1: a lesson to all of you. Get involved to help 47 00:03:57,080 --> 00:04:00,640 Speaker 1: your friends in relationships where they are the victims of violence. 48 00:04:00,680 --> 00:04:04,200 Speaker 1: I have no patience for that. Men who hit women. 49 00:04:04,760 --> 00:04:07,119 Speaker 1: That is the lowest of the low. That is the 50 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:11,840 Speaker 1: third of the third class. Two twenty year olds arrested 51 00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:15,240 Speaker 1: for leading Popo on a chase in a stolen car. 52 00:04:16,720 --> 00:04:20,320 Speaker 1: Each of them was free on one bond. Now ramon 53 00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:27,080 Speaker 1: not one bond, two bonds, No, not two bonds. Three 54 00:04:27,120 --> 00:04:32,240 Speaker 1: bonds now, No, that wouldn't even make the news in 55 00:04:32,279 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: Harris County today. Four bonds and five bonds. Surely, surely 56 00:04:40,600 --> 00:04:42,920 Speaker 1: five bonds. They can't have more than Yeah, they did. 57 00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:50,919 Speaker 1: Each of them, at only twenty was free on six bonds. 58 00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 1: One of the men arrested is serving three probations in 59 00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: two two different counties. Yet Harris County Democrat Judge Melissa 60 00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: Morris has no problem repeatedly releasing him every time he 61 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:21,440 Speaker 1: commits another crime. The story from Fox twenty. 62 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,239 Speaker 2: Six, They're just twenty years old, and yet Nathan Ebarro 63 00:05:24,320 --> 00:05:27,120 Speaker 2: and Eric Mesa have each been arrested more than twenty 64 00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: times in Harris County alone. 65 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,359 Speaker 3: Both of these guys are basically two men crimes fries 66 00:05:32,600 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 3: that are running amok. 67 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 2: Both Uborrow and Mesa were free from jail on six bonds. 68 00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:39,599 Speaker 4: Each, But people who have multiple bonds should not be 69 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:42,760 Speaker 4: given the opportunity to be repeat offenders and put the 70 00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 4: citizens of Houston and Harris County at risk. 71 00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: Ibarra was serving two probations in Harris County and another 72 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:50,679 Speaker 2: probation in Galveston County. 73 00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,520 Speaker 4: When you continuously a re offender for the same type offenses, 74 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 4: you shouldn't be allowed to be given any type of probation. 75 00:05:58,520 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 2: Eborrow has picked up six criminal charges since getting probation 76 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,680 Speaker 2: here in July of last year. Instead of revoking you 77 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 2: Borrow's probation, two hundred and sixty third Judge Melissa Morris 78 00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 2: grant you Bora yet another bond so he can leave jail. 79 00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:16,760 Speaker 3: This is why we have lost our faith in our 80 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:19,880 Speaker 3: criminal justice system is because of people like you Bearra 81 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:22,240 Speaker 3: and his other and his cohort in Mesa. 82 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 2: Last Wednesday afternoon, FeliCa.

And none of this should have 93 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:55,800 Speaker 1: ever ever happened. They should have been locked up. Meanwhile, 94 00:06:56,760 --> 00:06:59,880 Speaker 1: Rodney and Lena are at it again. You're not gonna 95 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 1: be this, or maybe you will. Harris County Commissioner's Court 96 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:12,200 Speaker 1: will vote today to take voter registration responsibility away from 97 00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 1: the elected voter registrar. Remember what they did before is 98 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: they put chas Bono in there. And the only reason 99 00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: Chas Bono had to be Isabella Longoria had to be 100 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:28,680 Speaker 1: removed was because in the Democrat primary when they picked 101 00:07:28,720 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: their Democrat candidates, other Democrats protested, so she was let 102 00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 1: go and even Lena finally had to admit, yeah, she's 103 00:07:38,760 --> 00:07:40,800 Speaker 1: a screw up. Rodney, what are you doing? You're getting 104 00:07:40,840 --> 00:07:44,040 Speaker 1: us in trouble here. And then they brought in Clifford 105 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: Tatum and we know what he did with the twenty 106 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:50,360 Speaker 1: twenty two election. The Secretary of State has finally released 107 00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,600 Speaker 1: their report after two years. I'll read that to you 108 00:07:53,640 --> 00:07:57,440 Speaker 1: in the next segment. But today, right in time for 109 00:07:57,480 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: the election, they don't care what you think. I hope 110 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,960 Speaker 1: you understand that they don't care that you don't like it, 111 00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:09,560 Speaker 1: that this looks criminal. Through Item four hundred, they're going 112 00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:15,160 Speaker 1: to hand registration to third party vendors. Paul Bettencourt points 113 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,720 Speaker 1: out it's being done to circumvent two Senate bills and 114 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 1: it will likely result in the mailing of quote thousands 115 00:08:22,600 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 1: of unrequested voter registration applications to register non citizens to vote. 116 00:08:31,160 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: The Democrats have just punched us in the face again, 117 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:41,080 Speaker 1: and we're going to find out. Are Republicans going to 118 00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: do anything about it? Will there be anything more than soundbites? 119 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:51,319 Speaker 1: Will Greg Abbott order Jane Nelson, the Secretary of State 120 00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: to do her job. I wouldn't count on it. Southern Pride, 121 00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:01,680 Speaker 1: Southern Pride with Michael Berry show, she doesn't. 122 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,560 Speaker 5: Known dress hair is always men's cat Stein Lenn.

Hey, 125 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,640 Speaker 5: she thinks beautiful. 126 00:09:21,960 --> 00:09:23,000 Speaker 6: Meet Virginius. 127 00:09:31,880 --> 00:09:39,240 Speaker 1: If you are a Harris County resident property owners and 128 00:09:40,280 --> 00:09:45,160 Speaker 1: your structure suffered damage to at least fifteen percent of 129 00:09:45,280 --> 00:09:50,360 Speaker 1: the value of the structure, you are in a government 130 00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 1: declared disaster zone, which makes you eligible for tax relief. 131 00:09:57,120 --> 00:10:03,559 Speaker 1: According to a twenty nineteen state law, the damage structure 132 00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: is eligible, and damaged personal property is eligible. That's equipment 133 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:18,120 Speaker 1: and furniture if that equipment or personal property is used 134 00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:25,760 Speaker 1: in the production of income. If you were affected by 135 00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:32,319 Speaker 1: the May d Racho, you know, we think about Beryl, 136 00:10:33,679 --> 00:10:36,120 Speaker 1: but we had in May. We had the de Racho. 137 00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: It was technically de racho and a tornado, but we'll 138 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:44,840 Speaker 1: leave that aside. We had that in May, and then 139 00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:51,840 Speaker 1: we had Beryl. The may de Racho had winds of 140 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:56,920 Speaker 1: over one hundred miles an hour. I have some friends 141 00:10:56,920 --> 00:11:01,080 Speaker 1: that live in downtown. We're sending photos. Windows downtown buildings 142 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:07,760 Speaker 1: were being shattered. These things. You figure they've withstood a 143 00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:13,640 Speaker 1: lot of other things. Because it was declared a disaster 144 00:11:14,320 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: natural disaster that makes you eligible for this state law. 145 00:11:18,360 --> 00:11:21,800 Speaker 1: Let me see in my notes here you have one 146 00:11:21,880 --> 00:11:25,040 Speaker 1: hundred and five days from the date the disaster was 147 00:11:25,120 --> 00:11:31,080 Speaker 1: declared to apply for tax relief. So we have had 148 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:37,200 Speaker 1: three declared disasters in this region this year. Hurricane Barrel 149 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:42,200 Speaker 1: which we just went through, the Dracho in May, and 150 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:46,440 Speaker 1: then the Santa Cino River that flooded in early May. 151 00:11:47,920 --> 00:11:51,560 Speaker 1: It's a two page application. You mail it to the 152 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:57,240 Speaker 1: Harris County Appraisal District. You're supposed to include copies of 153 00:11:57,280 --> 00:12:02,440 Speaker 1: any insurance claim information that you've filed and photos of 154 00:12:02,480 --> 00:12:09,880 Speaker 1: the damage to the property along with your application. If 155 00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: a tree or a branch fell onto your property, onto 156 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: your structure and cause damage, that is eligible. I think 157 00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,080 Speaker 1: you're probably better off if you're thinking about it filing 158 00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:32,520 Speaker 1: than not filing, and then you'll get a lower tax 159 00:12:32,559 --> 00:12:35,080 Speaker 1: bill when you get your assessment at the end of 160 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:39,640 Speaker 1: this year. As a result. You can get the form 161 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:46,439 Speaker 1: at HCAD dot org, which is HCAD dot org. There 162 00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:49,960 Speaker 1: is a banner at the top that says forms, and 163 00:12:50,040 --> 00:12:53,920 Speaker 1: you click on all forms, and there is a form 164 00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: called no reason you will remember this, but fifty dash 165 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:01,080 Speaker 1: three twelve, Raymond, do you have a way to help 166 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:06,560 Speaker 1: people remember it's fifty dash three twelve five zero dash 167 00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:10,120 Speaker 1: three one two.

Well, here's a good way to remember it. 170 00:13:21,559 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: To the side it says the disaster relief application, so 171 00:13:25,480 --> 00:13:30,280 Speaker 1: you can remember it that way. So you got one 172 00:13:30,360 --> 00:13:37,040 Speaker 1: hundred five days. I think you have. September third is 173 00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:39,760 Speaker 1: the date for the may de rachl based on when 174 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: that was filed September third, and then you've got the 175 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:51,240 Speaker 1: October twenty first deadline from Hurricane Beryl. I'm gonna get 176 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,720 Speaker 1: a hundred emails. Hey what was the dates again? Like, 177 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be sitting and going, well, let me go look, 178 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:02,439 Speaker 1: everything we ever do isosted to a podcast in pretty 179 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:05,560 Speaker 1: short order, so you just do the math and go. 180 00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: We're in the second segment of the eight o'clock hour. 181 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:12,120 Speaker 1: They take out almost all the commercials, so you know, 182 00:14:12,280 --> 00:14:16,080 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes into the eight o'clock hour podcast is going 183 00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:17,760 Speaker 1: to be me saying the same thing. Where you can 184 00:14:17,800 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: stop it and write it down if you want the information. 185 00:14:20,920 --> 00:14:24,800 Speaker 1: September third and October twenty first or the two deadlines 186 00:14:26,120 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 1: so by state law. In twenty twenty one, after President 187 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,840 Speaker 1: Trump was cheated out of the election in twenty the 188 00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,800 Speaker 1: state legislature passed a bill that says, the Secretary of 189 00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,080 Speaker 1: State has to actually do something. They have to audit 190 00:14:40,680 --> 00:14:44,160 Speaker 1: four counties, and they pull them out of a hat. 191 00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:47,680 Speaker 1: Large county, small county, and what do you know, Harris 192 00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,440 Speaker 1: County was chosen, and what do you know? They cheated 193 00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:58,000 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty two and lawsuits were brought and we 194 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:03,840 Speaker 1: kept waiting on Greg Abbott's Secretary of State, Jane Nelson, 195 00:15:04,640 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 1: a former senator. She knows what's going on, but chooses 196 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,920 Speaker 1: not to to do something. And the days turned into weeks, 197 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:17,760 Speaker 1: turned into months, turned into years, and now two years later, 198 00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:23,280 Speaker 1: right before the election, the audit report, which was required 199 00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:28,120 Speaker 1: by law, is finally being released, where it was found 200 00:15:28,760 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 1: Number one, in defiance of state law, Harris County failed 201 00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 1: to estimate and issue the required amount of paper ballot, 202 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,320 Speaker 1: resulting in interruptions in voting in at least nineteen polling 203 00:15:41,360 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: locations in the November election. Really, how did you ever 204 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 1: figure that out? Guys? Just so y'all know, it turns 205 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 1: out according to the Secretary of State two years later, 206 00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:05,119 Speaker 1: it turns out, and listen carefully, they didn't send ballots 207 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:09,880 Speaker 1: to our voting locations. They just sent them to their 208 00:16:09,960 --> 00:16:13,080 Speaker 1: voting locations. So if you were on the West Side 209 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:15,480 Speaker 1: and you were going to vote for Alex Mieler, they 210 00:16:15,520 --> 00:16:18,680 Speaker 1: didn't send a ballot for you to vote, Secretary of 211 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: State says, So two years later, why that's hard hitting, Jane. 212 00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:28,960 Speaker 1: Number two, Harris County failed to properly train its election 213 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:33,760 Speaker 1: workers to operate new voting equipment, resulting in widespread voting 214 00:16:33,760 --> 00:16:42,359 Speaker 1: equipment failures in multiple elections. You'll never guess where number three. 215 00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,840 Speaker 1: Can't you see it? You're walking in to vote. I'm here, 216 00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,320 Speaker 1: I'm ready to vote. I'm gonna get that Lena Hidalgo, 217 00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:53,640 Speaker 1: that looney been nut out of there where I vote. Well, 218 00:16:55,640 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: most unfortunate the machine is down and we can't figure 219 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 1: out how to fix it. But but yeah, we can 220 00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:08,560 Speaker 1: vote again in two years. Number three, Harris County did 221 00:17:08,600 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 1: not follow state law establishing proper voter role maintenance activities. 222 00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:17,320 Speaker 1: They don't clear the dead people off. Harris County failed 223 00:17:17,359 --> 00:17:19,600 Speaker 1: to keep an accurate list of registered voters in their 224 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:25,320 Speaker 1: county records, which has been addressed and corrected. It took 225 00:17:25,400 --> 00:17:29,760 Speaker 1: them two years to tell us that was a problem. 226 00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,600 Speaker 1: But don't worry. Rodney's fixed it all. And what did 227 00:17:34,680 --> 00:17:39,200 Speaker 1: I tell you he's doing today? Today, on this very day, 228 00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: August twenty seventh, they are voting and they'll pass it. 229 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:49,280 Speaker 1: They have their votes. Item four hundred will hand the 230 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: process to a third party that they control, and I 231 00:17:52,840 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 1: guarantee you it's Rodney's buddy Number four. In numerous elections, 232 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:04,560 Speaker 1: required paperwork from polling locations was incomplete and failed to 233 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,679 Speaker 1: meet the requirements outlined in law. That took two years. 234 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:20,080 Speaker 1: That took you two years. See, once you understand Rodney 235 00:18:20,119 --> 00:18:23,240 Speaker 1: and the Democrats are going to do what they're going 236 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:25,320 Speaker 1: to do. Doesn't matter if it's against the law, it 237 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:28,359 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what it is. And you can complain about 238 00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,560 Speaker 1: it later, But you can't complain to any elected official 239 00:18:33,119 --> 00:18:36,879 Speaker 1: because they've won all the elections by the cheating women. 240 00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:39,520 Speaker 1: Makes it right for them. From the show that I 241 00:18:39,520 --> 00:18:41,120 Speaker 1: don't seem to get from other places. 242 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 6: The Michael Berry Show, five. 243 00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:56,320 Speaker 1: Years ago today, where it came to Harvey had made 244 00:18:56,440 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: landfall near Port of Ramsas as a Category four hurricane 245 00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,720 Speaker 1: I don't know how many of you remember, because so 246 00:19:06,840 --> 00:19:12,240 Speaker 1: many things clouded our memories in between, But I remember 247 00:19:12,320 --> 00:19:17,320 Speaker 1: when it was coming through and it looked like Houston 248 00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: had dodged a bullet, which were were used to doing 249 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:29,239 Speaker 1: literally on our streets daily. But I remember when it 250 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:34,680 Speaker 1: made landfall at Port of Ramsis. It was about ten 251 00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:38,840 Speaker 1: o'clock on August twenty fifth. It was a Category four 252 00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:47,200 Speaker 1: and the eastern side of the circulation of Harvey moved 253 00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:50,920 Speaker 1: into southeast Texas on the morning of the twenty fifth, 254 00:19:53,280 --> 00:19:56,560 Speaker 1: continued through much of the night and into the twenty sixth. 255 00:19:57,440 --> 00:20:01,240 Speaker 1: A strong rainband developed over four been in Brazoria Counties 256 00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,679 Speaker 1: during the evening hours of the twenty sixth and spread 257 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:09,520 Speaker 1: into Harris County and showed and start enslowed while training 258 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:14,720 Speaker 1: from south to north. This resulted in a rapid development 259 00:20:14,760 --> 00:20:18,239 Speaker 1: of flash flooding between ten PM and one AM as 260 00:20:18,400 --> 00:20:22,919 Speaker 1: tremendous rainfall rates occurred across much of Harris County. The 261 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,879 Speaker 1: morning of the twenty seventh saw additional rainbands continue to 262 00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:32,439 Speaker 1: develop produce additional excessive rainfall amounts as the center of 263 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:38,160 Speaker 1: Harvey slowly moved east, southeast and back offshore. Heavy rainfall 264 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,880 Speaker 1: continued to spread through much of the twenty ninth and thirtieth, 265 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:48,600 Speaker 1: exacerbating the ongoing, widespread and devastating flooding. All of this 266 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:54,280 Speaker 1: rainfall caused catastrophic drainage issues and made rivers rise greatly. 267 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,280 Speaker 1: Only around ten percent of the river forecast points in 268 00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:01,320 Speaker 1: Southeast Texas remained below blood stage due to the event, 269 00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,560 Speaker 1: and apparently forty six percent of the river forecast points 270 00:21:04,600 --> 00:21:12,680 Speaker 1: reached new record levels. Harvey maintained tropical storm intensity the 271 00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:17,679 Speaker 1: entire time while inland over the Texas Coastal Bend in 272 00:21:17,720 --> 00:21:24,119 Speaker 1: Southeast Texas. After moving offshore, Harvey made a third landfall 273 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: just west of Cameron, Louisiana. Boy, those people did not 274 00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: need that. Have they been through hell? On the morning 275 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: of the thirtieth and brought more heavy rainfall to the 276 00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: northern Gulf States. I remember, I remember Mississippi got hit 277 00:21:41,359 --> 00:21:50,600 Speaker 1: five years ago. I think to myself, how quickly my 278 00:21:50,800 --> 00:21:57,200 Speaker 1: whole world could have been destroyed, How quickly just a 279 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: turn of a swift bit of water, How that could 280 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 1: have changed for me, my entire life, my wife, and 281 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: my wife and kids. Because I was not here. I 282 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:13,919 Speaker 1: was desperate to get back. But you know what I 283 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: take from those types of experiences, communities that go through 284 00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: extreme hardship, privation, devastation, It does do something to you. 285 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:30,440 Speaker 1: Not all good. I don't believe it's all good. I 286 00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:34,560 Speaker 1: don't think the whole that which doesn't kill you makes 287 00:22:34,600 --> 00:22:39,600 Speaker 1: you stronger. No, really not always true. Sometimes it changes 288 00:22:39,640 --> 00:22:43,680 Speaker 1: you such that you never properly heal. But I do 289 00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:47,879 Speaker 1: think that communities that go through that become very strong, 290 00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,639 Speaker 1: and I think our community did. I would love to 291 00:22:51,720 --> 00:22:58,000 Speaker 1: hear from people who were absolutely devastated. Now I'm going 292 00:22:58,080 --> 00:23:00,280 Speaker 1: to ask you to think about what you're going to 293 00:23:00,320 --> 00:23:04,720 Speaker 1: say ahead of time and get right to the point, 294 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:07,639 Speaker 1: because this could turn into a twenty minute story and 295 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:10,560 Speaker 1: I'd rather get more stories on the air. We lost 296 00:23:10,600 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: our entire house. It was gone. We never got it back. 297 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:20,480 Speaker 1: I lost my sister, whatever your story is. My sister died, 298 00:23:21,080 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: my house was devastated, my business was destroyed. That destroyed 299 00:23:29,119 --> 00:23:33,960 Speaker 1: means because our house was flooded. But nine months later 300 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:39,199 Speaker 1: we were back in the same house. Well, we actually 301 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,720 Speaker 1: never left, which was looking back, was probably a bad 302 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:47,720 Speaker 1: idea because it was a three story house and we 303 00:23:47,760 --> 00:23:53,600 Speaker 1: moved up to the second story and Bert walled it off. 304 00:23:54,600 --> 00:23:58,879 Speaker 1: So once they got the bottom area. I'll never forget 305 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: Jason Troy at Oops Steam Cleaning, they were bringing their 306 00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:07,960 Speaker 1: dryers out and that's what they were doing, ringing water 307 00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,919 Speaker 1: out of carpets. Was a couple days later. He was 308 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:16,560 Speaker 1: just deploying dryers everywhere, and we decided that we would 309 00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:18,720 Speaker 1: stay in the house. But you had to walk through 310 00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 1: it because you had to come through that first area. 311 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 1: It was awful, dreadful. It's like looking out our window 312 00:24:24,400 --> 00:24:29,160 Speaker 1: right now. You can see downed trees that were dead 313 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:35,479 Speaker 1: from Beryl, and obviously they're brown, and they pushed them 314 00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,000 Speaker 1: out to the street, and now the city can't bring 315 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,920 Speaker 1: itself to come and pick them up. Not our area. 316 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:42,880 Speaker 1: We cleaned ours. We took ours away because I didn't 317 00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:44,919 Speaker 1: want to have to look at it. But now the 318 00:24:45,040 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: debris that all that's been out there long enough that 319 00:24:47,920 --> 00:24:50,600 Speaker 1: now it's beginning to be strewn around, so it looks 320 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:58,320 Speaker 1: like a gutter in Calcutta. I thought that had a 321 00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:01,919 Speaker 1: nice sound to it, all, right, seven one three, nine, nine, 322 00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:05,280 Speaker 1: nine one thousand, Just do be prepared to get right 323 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,960 Speaker 1: to the level of devastation. And the point of the 324 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: story is looking back five years later, you made it. 325 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:18,480 Speaker 1: The worse the story, the better the result you made it. 326 00:25:18,680 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: We made it through that seven one, three, nine, nine, nine, 327 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:33,159 Speaker 1: one thousand. This is the Michael Berry Show. Amazing how 328 00:25:33,480 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: when these coincidences happened. Ramone said, what do you think 329 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 1: about Texas flood? 330 00:25:43,800 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 7: No? 331 00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 1: Ramon said, you want to go with storm and flood 332 00:25:48,200 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: related music? And I said, yeah, how about Texas flood? 333 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:54,480 Speaker 1: And he said, perfect choice. This is the day that 334 00:25:54,720 --> 00:26:00,520 Speaker 1: Stevie ray Vaughan died. What were the chances call for 335 00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,840 Speaker 1: a Stevie Ravon song and it would just happen to 336 00:26:03,920 --> 00:26:10,159 Speaker 1: be the day that SRV died.

Well, if I'm gonna 338 00:26:13,640 --> 00:26:15,440 Speaker 1: get every other number wrong, I might as well get 339 00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 1: that one wrong. It was not five years ago, it 340 00:26:18,960 --> 00:26:23,560 Speaker 1: was seven years ago. That was her what I didn't 341 00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: need to get the calls. I got the emails. And 342 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:28,479 Speaker 1: I'm an idiot. I know it was twenty seventeen. I 343 00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:31,880 Speaker 1: remember the day like it was yesterday. I had scribbled 344 00:26:31,880 --> 00:26:35,360 Speaker 1: out some notes on a printed out sheet about it. 345 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,400 Speaker 1: But when it printed, it printed in small font and 346 00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:43,000 Speaker 1: I guess when I looked at it, I just glanced 347 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:46,679 Speaker 1: at it and it looked like twenty nineteen, and so 348 00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: I wrote twenty nineteen. And it's my fault. I'm not 349 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:56,640 Speaker 1: making excuses, but I do know better. I'm not always 350 00:26:56,680 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: good with remembering when things happened. But yeah, anyway, let's 351 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,679 Speaker 1: get to your storm stories.

When they walked the way 413 00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,920 Speaker 1: they lumbered alone and the way they sit up, maybe 414 00:30:45,920 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: because I have terrible posture and I've tried to correct 415 00:30:49,080 --> 00:30:51,720 Speaker 1: it and I just can't.
