As slow as it's moving, emergency teams have a pretty large window in some areas to help while the eye hovers over. But it still may be too risky and the emergency center could still be within the eye wall.

Local emergency manager confirming trapped individuals in multiple locations.
Emergency responders cannot be dispatched.
Emergency management center was built to withstand CAT 3 winds, it is also suffering damage as Harvey's winds have exceeded the buildings tolerances.
I know him. Mike Donohoe. Fmr. Bryan fire chief. Prayers.

With all the debris around those roads are impassable no matter how calm it is.
Doubt they are going to rescue, their structure is damaged so where would they take them? They told everyone to get out and they didn't. At this point they are on their own

KXAN team is in Rockport. They are trying to figure out how to get out.
This **** is real.

There was a mandatory evacuation that's not what firemen and police are for.
Theres no way out. Too much debris everywhere. Guaranteed flat tires

I saw some elderly people on TWC in Rockport that couldn't drive, and it looked like they were sheltered at a school...prayers sent!!

How can they get there and where will they take them? Sorry but the city is not going to risk the lives of the firefighters at night with no resources to save stupid people that didn't leave.

Tracked vehicles.
Nobody could give them a ride out?
David Yoemans is a hurricane expert and they want to show Austin what's going on.

There shouldn't BE any people to rescue. Wait until the flying shrapnel has chilled out and then go help people.
Do they have a live feed?

Roads are full of debris. Who knows on power lines. How are they supposed to get to people? Where are they supposed to take them?
This was a mandatory evacuation. The freaking mayor said write your name and SS # on your arm in permanent marker. Wtf do people think that means?
Not many amphibious tractors available, but a well designed one would be good to have.

One question I have is why TWC was showing winds of 40-50 mph when I'm watching Jeff get pounded by winds he says were 140-150?

In other words, "What the hell are we going to do to make it through this?!"
I saw somewhere one of the structures destroyed is the rockport high school with people inside.
They are 40 or 50 miles away?
No. They are just were live during the newscast. They decided to hunker down.

Not right now. He's come back on each time though. Saw buildings collapse around him and he cut out for a while. Was genuinely scared he might have died for a while
Yeah I guess so. I'm familiar with Austin news and weather folks having grown up there but man... Rockport was just asking for it. Hope they're OK and everyone is OK even though I know it won't end up that way.
Gotta go with Jeff on this one. You can't fake what was on his feed. I have stood in 60 mph. What hit him was NOT 60 mph.Ag_07 said:

Mandatory evacuation for Rockport was announced yesterday. It's terrible that folks who stayed are in imminent danger, but why should first responders risk their own lives to save those who chose to stay?birdman said:

I realize that this is a sensitive issue and that lives are at stake but the fact remains that folks were asked to leave. Having others, paid or not, putting their own lives in danger is ludicrous.
