Also a massive thanks to everyone who has streamed to help this fund.

You are what makes GBAtemp such an amazing community to be a part of!


Now, as for GoFundMe, they have still not released the funds to Chary, despite saying they would, over 10 days ago. The excuse is their engineers need time to convert the raised amount to dollars, and their payment processing team are trying their best to get it done. To me this sounds absurd, but here we are, 14 days since the fund started, waiting for the cash to be paid out in this emergency situation.[/USER][/USER][/USER][/USER]

I can't give anything hope it all works out for you

Things will take a while to work out.



And there's some people looting stores rather than help those in need.

 

[Slattz]

I don't want to be rude but surely there's other members here that also need financial help in a time like this?

Anyways, I don't have any money atm but I wish you all the best @Chary, hopefully things will turn out alright.

 

[DeadlyFoez]

i will give all that i can

We are expecting your soul, your dog, and your first born child.
Lol.

The store looters are assholes.

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

The store looters are assholes.

Besides looting stores there's also reports of assaulting homes and to add to that, those who did took photos of their "rewards".

Such people should burn in hell

At the George R Brown now. There's thousands of people, they say. This pic is just a corner of the room. So many are without homes now. This is pretty much houstons version of hurricane Katrina.

Happy that you are in a safe place now.

Why does no one think to raid banks? Vaults run on timers and cash money isn't easily destroyed You know they just wrote it all off for insurance.

This just feels wrong.

I really hope the government helps in some way. Not everyone will have insurances nor more family in other places for helping them.

I hope more people internationally gets to help.

It's probably well guarded with security guards and their Johns.

Pretty sure that France will give some help, since they the two countries are strongly together since they 4th of July.

Or maybe the UN...

 

[NicoAICP]

the people who are looting homes and stores are some scumbags who steal stuff from people, which are trying to survive

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

nor more family in other places for helping them.

Even so, travelling as far as possible is a possibility. Many didn't think of doing it because the police told them it wouldn't be necessary.

When the police or someone from the govt tells you not to leave or that it's safe, think twice about that.

Thank you for the update. Watch your back and your belongings. At times like this people will completely disregard you and steal your shit, rob you, or rape you. Please be careful.

One thing that i was always told is when in a shitty situation you should go and find the biggest mother fucker in the room and pumble him so you can show dominance and so no one else messes with you.

Oh, wait. Thats for prison. Scratch that.

 

[WeedZ]

Bruh..

 

[whateverg1012]

Got friends in Houston going through the same thing, their area thankfully avoided being flooded tho. Wish you the best.

Steal, okay... rob, possible yeah... but rape ? Who would rape people when they just came off a disaster ? like "dis is the great time to f***" I was lost.

What I hope is that @Chary will have a "life return to normal"

EDIT: Whoops, might be a little harsh there. But yeah, that's weird.

Yup. Gracefully it wasn't hit but I've read folks who are blocked by floods and without boats they can't leave.

France, Italy, Germany and Sweden weren't hit by a natural disaster but they are at the brink of destruction and rapes happen there daily.
