“Some families hit hard by [Hurricane] Harvey are choosing to stay in their flooded homes. We take you along a rescue mission in a community in southeast Houston, where some also choose to leave,” Deborah Acosta reports for The New York Times.

MacDailyNews Take:
Worse than being useless, [Apple Watch] may actually be inconvenient… The watch is meant to stay dark until the wearer raises her arm, and might require users to wave their arms around a lot. — Timothy Kennett, The Independent, March 10, 2015
Hey Timmy, that’s my arm waving an Apple Watch at you. Knucklehead.
My Apple Watch would go from 100% to 0% if I make a 30 sec call so no thank you🤦♂️🤦♂️
You need a new battery or there is something else amiss. You should bring it in. I don’t like making or receiving calls on the watch but I answer in a pinch when I have to and my battery never dropped like that. I’m at 2yrs 4 maths now.
