I was raised in Houston and graduated from Westchester High but I have been away from Houston for 37 years. I came back 14 years ago and could not find my way around. Before that I had missed Houston but after that I swore I would never live there. I lived in NKY for 35 years 21 years in Hebron, KY in a planned community across the river from Cincinnati, OH (16 miles). NKY has grown because of affordable houses and lower taxes but compared to Houston it small. I am now retired and live in a retirement community north of Tucson which is very nice. I had considered Austin and the hill country but it is expensive and congested. My wife and I like the hot dry heat and less traffic.

She's also right about the media showing clips from the same areas and making it look like it's city-wide. Not suggesting there weren't problems for many people. But...not everybody. Not by a long shot. When I went apt hunting 3 yrs ago, the apartments have to be upfront about whether they flooded during Harvey. Anytime I asked, it was always no.

She makes a good point about Harvey and future flood risk. Our family home in Jersey Village/Cypress did not flood. There was some water in the street (maybe 7 inches) for a day and a half (and stable at 7 inches), but not even close to our yard or actual house because our house is on an incline from where the street is. And that was the only time we ever had water in the street. So now...if there's "hard rain" that's still way, way less than what Harvey was (and 99% of rain events are), it's just not a concern. If your home got no water from Harvey, nothin's gonna happen with some hard but routine storms.

Nobody has a choice of the power line utility that controls power distribution. Centerpoint is the utility. Everyone in Centerpoint area must use Centerpoint. The only choice is the RETAIL provider, which is not a utility, they are marketing and billing only. They don't control the lines or repairs, or even the generation of power. They are resellers.

When Hurricane Ike hit in 2008 I was without power in the Woodlands/Spring area for about two weeks. Statistically, I've done the fact checking but feel free to follow up, Houston, TX takes a major hit by a wind or flood event due to Tropical weather about every five years and when these events happen lives are devastated, rescue operations underway, power outages for a few days are not uncommon... Home owners insurance policies were already skyrocketing and following Beryl that is predicted to get worse... We've already been hit hard by two storm systems this year, before Beryl there was a major storm event out of nowhere that blue windows out of skyscrapers downtown and destroyed power lines, that was May.... It is highly likely we will get hit with another Tropical system of sort or brushed by one before this Hurricane season is over.... If you hate Hurricanes, power outages, etc... This is not the place to live, we are in the top 10 cities to get hit, the most common city in the state of Texas to get hit and you need to fully understand that moving here. But being prepared largely solves the problem. 1.) Invest in a generator and keep it well maintained 2.) Do not buy or build near East or West Fork of the San Jacinto River, these run far north of Houston This goes for suburbs not just inner city, anywhere from 2-6 miles from these forks can see flooding. When you see houses underwater in the suburbs its usually because they are near one of these forks. These forks begin far north of Houston, the West Fork at Lake Conroe, the East Fork in San Jacinto County, northwest of Huntsville and they run all the way to the Gulf of Mexico. Anything built along them is subject to major flooding... Inner city, you have to watch for Bayous, same story, you want to be at least 5, probably 10 miles away from the water and make sure the property is elevated. If you follow this you'll be safe in River Flooding. River and Bayou flooding are the primary cause of home flooding here.

@@LivingInHoustonTexas Sure, and we have flood plane maps that are fairly reliable and if a buyer wants to trust historical data and love a home, maybe they should... I'm very much not a risk taker when it comes to this sort of thing and feel the simple solution is to just avoid buying near the waterways. It's a small thing for peace of mind. But flood plane maps exist for a reason, and it's valid to feel, at least somewhat safe buying near a bayou if there is no history of flooding... especially if that property existed during the time of Harvey and did not flood.

I'm in Katy. The City of Katy has lots of trees. Its moniker is "the city of trees". The city is filled with large oak trees planted by the settlers. (along with other mature trees) The Katy area, which is much larger, doesn't have many old towering trees. For a portable generator, I STRONGLY RECOMMEND getting an inverter generator such as the Honda EU2200i at $1099 MSRP. It's easy to store and lug-able; not much larger than a 5 gallon gas can. I make sure my four 5 gallon gas cans are filled before a major storm. You can use the generator for far more than just a disaster as well. (camping, tailgating, etc.) It is also very quiet when it throttles down. A conventional generator must run at a constant RPM and burns through fuel like crazy; in many cases wasting most of the fuel. An inventor generator is able to throttle down when power demand is low, saving a whole lot of fuel. Fuel is a real consideration after a storm when many gas stations are closed as they don't have power. I have an older Honda EU2000i. With it, I can run my refrigerator and freezer at the same time 24/7 burning about 2 gallons of fuel a day. I can disconnect them as needed to run a coffee maker, large toaster oven, etc. (not at the same time) I wouldn't be cheap here. Buy a reliable brand such as Honda or Yamaha. From what I've seen on line, those knock-off brand generators can't handle really heavy loads.

@@bluejay713 It just hasn't been worth the effort. I know I can put a kit on my current generator to do that. For the derecho we were without power for 72 hours. That's only about 6 gallons of fuel. I have 24 gallons on hand before a major storm. We're thinking of getting a whole home generator. Additionally, I know a generator run on propane provides a good bit less power and I think I need every bit of what my little generator can put out. Natural gas may provide less as well.

I’ve lived in Houston on and off for my entire adult life, I was a Sunday School teacher and an engineer here, I owned a an award-winning nightclub here, and a whole lot of other stuff, over the years. I’m leaving in a few weeks with no intention of ever returning. I’m leaving primarily because a lot of things in Houston were forgivable (heat, traffic, etc) because it was cheap and the people here were friendly. Now, it is no longer cheap to live here, and to me it now feels substantially less-friendly. The cherry on top is that we now have a Mayor who has shown just how he feels about human-scale, walkable places and public transportation. I’ll leave this place to those who would rather, apparently, drive an hour to get to work, then drive to a strip center to get groceries, then drive to the gym to stay in shape. But hey: look at all the money you save, right?

@twattgurll, I’m from ca. also lived in Texas for 14 years. Californias power prices 30-80 cents a kilowatt. Where in Texas they’re 12-14 cents. The power bills in Texas are still cheaper or just a little bit more. Unless you live right next to the ocean in ca, and never turn on the AC, your bill will still be more expensive in Tx.
