Oh God....it’s not like they didn’t know this was coming. Shame on the nursing home.
In the old days....every town had a listing of hospital units and old-folks homes, and rescue folks automatically centered on both of these in the first hours of an emergency. So, tell me who the mayor is...and can I guess which party he belongs to?
There should also be a post with a picture of a child in the womb that states:
PHOTO OF CHILD PROMPTS RESCUE
Life is precious on both ends of the spectrum.
Well, they are white people...sooo...
Am I a bad person for finding this amusing?
Empty popcorn machine appears stable...
I refuse to go the way of these folks, ashamed for whomever manages the home and the relatives of those poor folks.
I bet all of their “kids” were spoiled rotten children.
Somehow, some way, someone will blame this on Trump.
Did Houston’s mayor, who refused to evacuate as the Governor suggested, lead the rescue?
How did they not get electrocuted?
The message I get from this picture are wise, aged Americans who are displaying fortitude in a dire circumstance unlike the bleating, pathetic people we saw outside the arena in New Orleans during Katrina. These folks have obviously survived a lot in life and they have a lot more to show the youth of this country what life is all about. I maybe wrong, but it looks like one lady is knitting in that easy chair.

I couldn’t believe this was real when I first saw the pictures. Thanks to those who rescued them and there needs to be a criminal investigation into how this happened.
...they were rescued by helicopter...
Multiple reports saying they were initially rescued by locals in boats.
OMW! Horrible. I hope my children never put me in a place like this.
My mother used to tell us she would come back to haunt us if we put her in a nursing “home”. Thank God we never had to.
The guy called for help
Help came
Trump’s fault

The mayor didn't order the city evacuated but he could have ordered medical facilities evacuated and the state could and should have as well.
i’m skeptical of that pic. i’m thinking it was either staged, or photoshopped as no reasonable staff would allow their people to sit in water like this - they’d be moved upstairs at the very least
If I were a resident or a relative of a resident, I would sue the hell out of this owner! She was negligent and apparently had NO contingency plan for avoiding a catastrophe that was FORECAST for weeks! This was criminal negligence
