Hurricane Harvey has pounded the Texas coast bringing flooding, destruction, injury and death to the Lone Star State. Houston was badly hit, with widespread flooding that looks set to increase in severity this week.
Houston has not removed its Confederate statues.
Destruction
New Orleans, by contrast, has taken down its Confederate statues and has so far been spared the fury of the hurricane. According to one meteorlogical expert, this was a matter of "math."
"New Orleans tore their statues down and guess what? No hurricane. You do the math."
Houston's Spirit Of The Confederacy Before The Hurricane
Hurricane Harvey has been downgraded to a tropical storm but is set to deluge southeastern Texas with rain and flooding. The National Weather Service has called the event "unprecedented."
A Typical Confederate Statue
Confederate statues still remain in Houston, albeit submerged for now under the waves of a turbulent and destructive sea.
Divine Judgement Falls Upon The Galleria
Here at the Compound, rain lashes down with primal, intense fury. The Confederate war memorial still stands, resolute, in the town square, facing North East.
