A Kingwood business strip opened Friday with a bone dry parking lot. In a matter of hours, the businesses became islands during the flooding emergency.

Houston aggravated the severity of floods by no restrictions to growth, eliminating wetlands, expanding concrete areas. What do expect? Greed at the highest level by companies to expand with no consequences for terrible development.

Very frustrating, I'm in Huffman and directly affected by this. After flooding in Harvey and Imelda we were spared in this one. Don't know how. Water came to our driveway, and then started to receed. Very lucky, but it's not even hurricane season yet.

This area has been flooding for decades. Note in the opening shot, the office building on the right side of the screen is built on stilts

Why are they stunned? That place is underwater every hurricane.

Yeah it’s almost like when a tornado hits a state that always have tornadoes destroy homes.

It has always floods there.. I was born in the 60s and flooding there. That’s when we were surprised they built Kingwood there.

Kingwood resident here. The rise of flood water stunned none of us. Literally none of us. You know who seemed stunned? The anchorman of the news station that posted this video two days after the flood happened. o.O Hamblen in Forest Cove floods every time you clean your windshield over there. It is known. :P

Setting up water catch basin attached to house gutters and Fish ponds on your property helps HUGE with community flooding

If you’re considering moving anywhere near a tidal area or the southern seaboard anywhere, don’t. Trust me, I left Newport News because the elevation is measured in inches and always flooding. I’d had enough. Trust me, don’t.

@@iveyhealth2266 every time there’s hail in Texas, roofers go & convince people they need an entire new roof. Most people need a few patches. When you have thousands of people getting new roofs paid by insurance every few years it’s an unsustainable system.

Not really. Base policies do not cover floods. Each homeowner will need to have flood insurance. Most home policies do not cover bodies of water that cause flooding to homes. Read your homeowner’s policy to make sure you have coverage. If not you will be denied and be on your own to get the damages repaired.

Kingwood is beautiful, we almost bought a home there but got cold feet due to the flooding risk. The local governments really need to find some solutions to mitigate flooding in the Houston area. 🫤

Yeah it’s called bayous. They hold the water until it can drain in Gulf of Mexico. I was thinking of moving north of Houston, luckily I didn’t. I didn’t think that area floods. Now I’m thinking of moving further north west

Talk to the San Jacinto River Authority for not letting water out of Lake Conroe in anticipation of this forecast rain event. It has nothing to do with local officials unless they allow people to build on flood plains.

@@-OBELUS- The real problem is the dam gates at Lake Houston. They can't release water to keep up with the more sophisticated gates at Lake Conroe. That is the bottle neck and that is what creates the flooding (along with a few other things, Sand sediment build up, upstream development, etc). SJRA is doing what they will always do and we need to stop blaming them and fix the REAL problem.

I have an Idea people don't have to do it. If they have a 2 story house they should put most of their stuff up stairs. Anytime it floods people that stay on the second floor around to survive and help others when it is over.
