- Harris County, where Houston is located, is heavily Democrat. It voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton. The population loves and trusts their Democrats. They trusted their Democrat mayor.
- But he did not tell them the truth at a time of life-threatening crisis. He had been informed ahead of time by federal government experts about the projected damage but he kept this information away from the public, so as not to panic them.
- And when one woman leaked information about the expected severity of the storm (which eventually turned out to be very accurate), city officials and the media attacked her as purveyor of fake news. Here is the story.
Federal and State authorities warned Houston's mayor and city council of the expected damage from Hurricane Harvey and advised an evacuation, but the mayor chose to withhold that information from the public and told the population to "shelter in place".
The alarming projected details leaked online, but city officials officially declared them to be "fake news". Only now, after all the unnecessary distress suffered by the most vulnerable victims, we realize that city authorities lied to the population.

Mayor Sylvester Turner's decision not to call for Houston's evacuation has been criticized by experts and victims, but the media itself has kept itself away from the controversy. Turner is a black Democrat, after all.
Turner's argument has been that it is risky to evacuate millions of people all at once. Highways get clogged, people run out of gas. It has happened before.
However, between a full evacuation and none, there is a more rational alternative: Evacuate the vulnerable: the elderly, the sick, pregnant women, those living on a ground floor. There does not seem to have been even a mention of this possibility.
Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner defied Federal and State authorities' recommendations for an evacuation and ignored their scientific projections for damage and losses from such a big storm. The Federal Government made it clear to Turner and city council:

Houston and Harris county’s four commissioners were briefed on Thursday morning, August 24 after the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers warned officials that Hurricane Harvey, which at that point had not made landfall, was shaping up to impact the region even worse than Hurricane Allison in 2001. That storm killed 22 in Houston, left 30,000 residents stranded, and damaged over $5 billion of property.
City officials were given ample time to evacuate the city, federal officials and correspondences examined by True Pundit confirmed.
According to sources familiar with the federal briefing, county and Houston officials were specifically warned that there was a high probability the storm event would be catastrophic, including the following intelligence provided to Houston and county officials the morning of Thursday, August 24:
The mayor, other city authorities, and the mainstream media dismissed as "fake" reports alerting the population of the true details of the upcoming disaster Not to evacuate was not just a bad decision on the part of the mayor. There was outright the misleading and the withholding of key life-and-death information.
Prior to Hurricane Harvey hitting Houston, Texan Rebecca Reisig posted a warning on her Facebook page that went viral. She projected specific details that have been proven accurate with the official announcement that 100,000 homes have been seriously damaged after more than 50 inches of rain fell during the storm.
Ms. Reisig charged that the Houston City Council knew Hurricane Harvey was expected to do far greater destruction than was being reported to the public – and she forecasted precise data that was subsequently officially confirmed on all counts. Her predictions proved right, but city officials and the media strongly dismissed them as fake news.
The mainstream media, along with Mayor Turner and fellow officials, launched an immediate smear campaign against Ms. Reisig and “false forecasts and irresponsible rumors on social media.

“Harris County officials are batting down false information making the rounds from a Sugar Land lawyer, warning people not to fall for online hysteria,” reported the Houston Chronicle on August 25. “The false information, in an email from the address of lawyer Ross Bale, indicated officials believed the approaching Hurricane Harvey could be far more devastating than first estimated.”
Ms. Reisig’s public shaming effectively sent her into hiding, as she has since deleted her social media accounts, but now many are thanking and praising her – and calling upon mainstream media and Texas officials to formerly apologize and admit their fault.
The White House has now confirmed that at least 100,000 homes have been damaged or destroyed by Harvey. And the storm drowned Houston in over 50 inches of rain – a new US record – also just as Ms. Reisig said it would. Additionally, Ms. Reisig warned of particularly intensive flooding in a region south of the Katy Freeway, the local name for Interstate 10 which slices through the heart of Houston, which also took place eventually. An NOAA real-time flood map reveals this to also be quite accurate:
