Houston Galleria Flood Raw Footage!!! Texas Flood 4-18-2016
HOUSTON, TX -- A line of severe thunderstorms that moved through the area early Tuesday spawned tornadoes and high winds that impacted communities all over the Metro Houston region.
The National weather service issued a severe thunderstorm warning and a tornado warning at 6:30 a.m. for counties south of Houston.
As the storms continued to move through the area, the subsequent warnings were expanded.
At the height of the storm, as many as 10 Texas counties were included in the National Weather Service warning.
Shortly after 8:30 a.m. a tornado touched down in Fairchilds, near Rosenberg in Fort Bend County, and another touched down a short time later in the Tara and Greatwood communities near Sugar Land.
A fence in the Tara community near Sugar Land is blown over by what officials believe was a tornado.
Fences were blown over, shingles were ripped from the roofs of homes, and an empty pole barn in Fairchilds was damaged.
Just before 9:30 a.m., a third tornado was reported over the Houston Ship Channel near Cloverleaf.
There were no reported injuries from any of those weather incidents.
The storms left more than 21,000 CenterPoint Energy customers without power, with many of those affected in Fort Bend County and southwest Harris County.
At the same time, the Houston Office of Emergency Management operated at a Level III, or a level of heightened readiness.
School districts were also affected with officials in Houston ISD, Fort Bend ISD issuing a shelter in place order for faculty and staff.
The City of Sugar Land followed that same protocol until the storm passed at 10:30 a.m.
The severe thunderstorm warning that was issued at 10:30 a.m., expired at 11 a.m.

Hes starred in films likeDrumline (2002), Love Dont Cost A Thing (2003), and Roll Bounce (2005), while also hosting Wild N Out, The Nick Cannon Show, and until very recently, the NBC reality series Americas Got Talent. On Monday, Cannon announced that he will be leaving the show after network executives threatened to fire him over a racially charged joke made in his standup special Sit Down, Dont Shoot.
Read on tolearn more about Cannons net worth and how he spends his money.
1. His Ex-Wife Mariah Carey Has a Net Worth of $520 Million

Cannon and Mariah Carey wed within two months of their first date in 2008, before making their relationship public. Carey gave birth to the couplesfraternaltwins, Morocco and Monroe, in 2012. During this time, Cannons net worth of $20 million was greatly elevated, as Careys success in the music industry tallied uptoan estimated net worth of $520 million. The couple also purchased a three-acre property in 2009for $10 million, before selling it in 2014, when rumors of their separation began to arise.
Cannonfiled for divorcethe following year. According to TMZ, the couple agreed ona settlement fortheir divorce, with Cannon being called uponto put $5,000 per month in a trust fund for Morocco and Monroe.Carey, on the other hand, did not have to add to the trust, but instead hand overthe familys 2012 Ferrari (valued at $188,000) and cover lodgingcosts whenever Cannon comes to visit the children.
The couple also declared separate income for the year 2014, with Carey taking in$6.3 million and Cannon at $2.7 million.
2. He Is The Chairman of TeenNick
Cannon got his start on Nickelodeon in 2001, appearingon the sketch series All That(1994-2005) before going on to star in The Nick Cannon Show(2002-03). Given these homegrown roots, the actor provedto be a smartchoice when he was named chairman and developing consultant of TeenNick in 2009. I am so excited to be back, serving as a representative for teens everywhere, Cannon told Starplus, TeenNick is their network and I am here to make sure this is an ultimate destination for and about them.At 36, the position makes Cannon one of the youngest black chairmenin all of television.
Cannon is also the Chief Creative Officer for Radioshack. According to The Verge in 2015, he was chosen to cater to younger audiences and to help increating Radioshack-exclusive products and curating the in-store experience.
3. He Donated A $2 Million Pair of Shoes to Charity
Nick Cannon turned heads when he wore a $2 million pair of diamond-encrusted loafers on the season nine finale of Americas Got Talent. The pricey footwear was specially made by designer Jason Arashenen, who packed into each shoe more than 14,00 full-cut diamonds set in white gold. The tallying weight of the pair was 340 carats.
Even more surprising, however, was the fact that Cannonturned around and donated the pricey footwear to the St. Marys Hospital for Children in Queens, New York. He spoke with MSN on the donation in 2014: I want to keep this childrens hospital going. Its one of the oldest childrens hospitals in New York. You go in there and puts everything in proper perspective. You see all that theyre going through and that they can still have a smile on their face. I get so much out of it.
Cannon has alsoendorsed the charities Reality Cares, STOMP Out Bullying, and the Get Schooled Foundation.
4. He Is The CEO of NCredible Entertainment

Foundedby Cannon and manager Michael Goldman in 2009, Ncredible Entertainment has become a powerhouse in the entertainment industry. It is the umbrella thats allowedCannon to pursue and help fund various projects, includingMTVs Wild N Out, Cartoon NetworksIncredible Crew, and TeenNicks annual Halo Awards. Ncredible is also behindthe BET parody seriesReal Husbands of Hollywood (2013-), which stars Kevin Hart, Boris Kodjoe, J.B. Smoove, and Cannon. According to Earn the Necklace, Cannonearned $4 from the show in 2016.
On the music front, Ncredible is a collaboratorwithRED Distribution (a division of Sony Music Entertainment) in finding and developing new artists. The roster of musicians currently signed to Ncredible includeSoulja Boy, Amber Rose, Make It Pop, New Boyz, and Cannon himself, whose last rap album, White People Party Music, was released in 2014.
5. He Earned$70, 000 Per Episode on Americas Got Talent
In 2009, Cannon replacedJerry Springer as the host ofAmericas Got Talent. Taking over the position in the shows fourth season,the multi-talented entertainer earned $70, 000 per episode, equalling that of judge Howie Mandel. This chunk ofCannons net worth looks as though it will take a dive, however, as hehas seemingly walked away from his hosting duties for season twelve.
Maybe it was my mistake for signing the contract in the first place, Cannon wrote on Facebook, in which I will take full responsibility and have already taken action to restructure my own team of advisors. Despite this suddendecision, some have pointed out that the Wild N Out staris still under contract. According to TheWrap, Cannon and all four judges re-upped their deals last August, and it doesnt look as though Cannons racially charged joke violated his contractsdisparagement clause. At this point, only time will tell whether Cannons departure will actually stick.

Nick Cannon took to social media to say he"s done with the NBC reality show.

The Neshannock Police Department is seeing red in a good way today, thanks to the "Neighborhood Kids" from First Assembly of G*d.
In an effort to put into practice lessons learned during their weekly gatherings, the students of the church"s children"s ministry created individual valentines for the department"s nine officers, including K-9 Avi.
"It was really nice; you could tell they took a lot of time to create them," Lt. John Rand said Monday. "A lot of them are red ... we have them hanging up on a bulletin board in the patrol room."
Rand said he was particularly touched by the children"s efforts, as they made cards for each officer, instead of one for the whole department.
"Every once in a while we"ll get a big group one, but they made one for each officer. A couple of the officers have them in their lockers."
The group"s teacher, Beverly Quinn, said the project allowed the children to get involved in their community. In previous years, she pointed out, projects have focused on other organizations and agencies, such as local nursing homes and veterans at the VA hospital in Butler.
"Our kids are learning what G*d says about helping, caring for and loving our neighbors," she said. "This year we will be focusing on our local police, fire and EMS.
"While these valentines aren"t a lot, our kids used their time and talents to show that they care for the officers and what they do for the community."
The students presented the valentines to officer Robert Sipe following a question and answer period with him. They also provided the K-9 officer with a bag of dog treats.
Authorities raided a restaurant in Shenzhen that sold rare animals and cooked them for banquets, reflecting the lack of awareness among mainlanders of the need to protect endangered species, the Hong Kong Economic Journal reports.
In Zhejiang province, meanwhile, police seized a stall at a wet market in Danghu village secretly selling wild birds, the newspaper said.
Over 400 sparrows were found in styrofoam boxes, and 11,000 more wild birds were seized at the house of one of the vendors. They included 88 magpies and 13 wild pigeons.
Four people were arrested after implements for catching birds, such as nets and an airsoft rifle, were discovered in their apartments.
It is fairly common in China for people to eat wild animals, or yewei in Putonghua, ignoring the fact that many of these animals are carriers of germs and unknown viruses, according to thepaper.cn.
Some even disclose on social media the wild animals they have eaten.
A woman in Shenzhen, for example, boasted on a Weibo post that she had had a meal of pangolin soup and fried rice with pangolin blood a few years back.
She said the broth had made her nose bleed owing to its medicinal effects.
According to her, the restaurant where she had the pangolin dish had a menu consisting of various exotic types of meat, including that of an owl.
Netizens criticized her for consuming endangered animals, and her Weibo posts have been deleted since.
Some vendors of pangolins and other endangered species use various tricks to command better prices such as adding cement or flour to the increase the weight of the animals or pigments to make them look more exotic, Fawan News reports.
Vendors also inject the animals with sedatives during transport and then give them stimulants to make them look healthy and lively while being displayed for sale.
Others use preservatives to keep dead animals looking fresh.
Just last year, a vendor in Zhejiang was found to have injected two pounds of liquified flour into a pangolins stomach to increase its weight and fetch higher prices.
An officer investigating the case said injecting water was not enough to increase the animals weight, so they use chemicals and even cement to make them bigger.
The officer warned the public against eating pangolin and other endangered species, saying that it is not only illegal to do so but also dangerous because vendors inject the animals with various chemicals.
Under mainland laws, a person found to have eaten pangolin could be sentenced to five years in jail and slapped with a heavy fine.

The question of What is the most hunted mammal in the world? has been answered. On February 11, Google has chosen to honor the Giant pangolin, the most trafficked animal in the world. According to the search engines blog on the species, they are the only scaly mammal in the world. There are eight different varieties of the animal in Africa and Asia. Today, Google is focusing on the Giant pangolin, which is unique to Africa.
Heres what you need to know:
1. Pangolins Get Their Name From Their Preferred Defensive Position
According to a World Wildlife Fund blog about pangolins says that their name originated as penggulung. A Malay word for a roller. Malay is the language of Indonesia, Brunei and Malaysia. Thats the position that the scaly mammal takes when predators are nearby. They roll into a ball with its sharp scales pointed outwards. The defense mechanism has made pangolins easier for poachers to scoop up.
They mainly feed on ants and are known in some circles as scaly anteaters. The pangolins tongue is long and sticky, the have no teeth.
There are eight different species living today. Experts believe there have been more types over the course of the pangolins 80 million years of evolution.
The scales make have made the pangolin difficult for even lions to eat.

The World Wildlife Fund says on their website that pangolins are critically endangered due to the demand for their meat and unique scales. Just over two pounds of pangolin scales go for $3,000 on the black market.
There have been numerous efforts to help save the pangolin. In 2014, a campaign named Roll With Pangolins was launched and endorsed by Prince William. In 2012, wildlife expert Sir David Attenborough chose the pangolin as one of the animals he would save from extinction.
The trade is largely illegal following a treaty that was signed by 180 countries to stop the hunting and trafficking of the mammal. A treaty from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service following the ratification of the treaty says, Between 2013 and 2016, approximately 18,500kg of pangolin scales were seized from illegal shipments originating from African countries, representing between 5,100 39,000 individual pangolins depending on the actual species harvested (the largest pangolins have heavier scales, but more of the smaller pangolins are hunted).
in conjunction with the Google Doodle, the World Wildlife Fund has made it extraordinarily easy to adopt a pangolin. You can adopt here. The basic cost is $25, though there are offers for $55 and $100.
3. In China, a Scandal Involving a Pangolin Dinner Party Is Being Unraveled
As the mammals endangered status is highlighted by Google, news broke from China involving a Pangolin Dinner Party. The BBC reports that the party took place in 2015 in the province of Guangxi in the south country. That same report says that those found guilty of eating pangolins can face 10 years in prison.
The pictures apparently first surfaced on Chinese social media website Weibo. A user, named Ah_cal, according to the BBC, wrote, Cooked pangolin was served to us to eat. It was my first time eating it, the taste was very good, and I have already deeply fallen in love with this taste of wildlife!The party was linked to the Guangxi Investment Promotion Bureau. The Weibo user has been identified as a businessman from Hong Kong.
In ancient Chinese medicine, the scales of the pangolin is used to aid lactation, the draining of pus as well as treating palsy symptoms.
4. While in Thailand, a Record Haul of Pangolins Was Intercepted by the Coast Guard

On February 2, Reuters reported that the Thai Coast Guard intercepted a haul of 3 tons of pangolin scales. The agency said that authorities believed the scales originated in the Congo, were shipped into Turkey and then on to Thailand.
Police Major General Worapong Thongpaiboon told the media, This is the biggest lot (of pangolin scales) that we have seized. The scales were presented to members of the press during a briefing.
5. The Google Doodle Tells the Story of a Pangolin Thats in Love
(Google)
The February 11 Google Doodle takes a unique approach, it shows a love story involving two pangolins. This is, of course, the month of Valentines Day. The parable reads in part:
Dont let its hard outer scales fool you: inside, our friend Pangolin is a big softie, pining over a long-distance romance.
Now, the letter this pangolins been waiting for has arrived! Pangolins sweetheart wants to meet for real, and its ready to roll across the globe to make it happen.
The blog on the doodle makes it clear that this is only part one, so stay tuned for more pangolin updates.
