Houston and surrounding area been flooding since last time I lived there in late 70’s

[@generictester]

sure, swampland + subsidence due to water wells

[@Christina-bz3mo]

Too close for comfort. Can't fight raging water. Be safe and wait it out. Hugs from hurricane country, fla. 🌹🇺🇸

[@marcusjava9999]

Incorrect. Tug boats do just fine fighting raging water actually. If that was not true then explain how they push barges weighing thousands of tons, upstream on a daily. Not only them but humans and animals build dams to contain raging water. And not just a few drops I’m talking hundreds of millions of gallons worth at one time. Raging water can be tamed if you’re smarter than it. Sorry. You just need to know what you’re doing and talking about I guess. Maybe do some research before spreading lies because technically all you’re doing is lying. Your entire comment is completely untrue which makes it a lie. I’m sorry you were just too misinformed but a misinformed people speaking misinformation is dangerous.

[@marcusjava9999]

In ancient China they would find mountain tops with pools of water, build castles around them, and then change the entire flow of the water to promote health and well-being for its citizens so they could one day become battle ready. I’m talking year 1200. It’s 2024 now.

[@marcusjava9999]

So you can’t tell me, if buildings still stand today from a literally 500 year gap, that stand the estimate of time in controlling raging waters, is a fallacy. I’ve seen them in person. I’ve seen them online. I’ve learned how they operate and all you’re doing is spreading completely wrong information only because you don’t know better. Learn before you speak. Or you’ll look dumber than the flow of raging water.

If the dams didnt have to water levels as high as they do during the rainy season this wouldnt be happening. Thankfully the Supreme court said victims can sue the state.

[@stevenashley7651]

There not going to sue the state over a natural disaster, grow up. This happend in 04 with Allison, 05 with Rita, 08 with Ike and in 17 with Harvey. I was born and raised there, it was built on swamp land sprawled out with pockets of forest to absorb the rain. With all the building roofs and concrete the water goes where it can. The problem will just get worse. The place was not designed to be ran like this from illegal aliens invading. If you are looking for who is responsible its them.

[@michaelshrader5139]

Actually if the dams and lakes weren't there then the river systems would run wild and still flood people out when it comes hard rainfall events... the dams operators are required to let out as much water as flows into the reservoir's, they aren't allowed to change the flow of a Texas river I'm told it's a law even. What the Addicks Reservoir has done west of Houston though has enabled development of lands in Houston that would not have been usable otherwise... and then in events like Harvey, it causes major flooding of subdivisions that should never have been built below the reservoir to begin with (but cheap land ya know, and developers gotta make their million$).

[@gwenstevens1963]

Need road work after storm

[@tra289]

[@txshasta1968]

The Corps of Engineers, county planners, etc. have really effed up our water table out here that little bit of rain should not have done anything like this. I’ve lived here for 60 years and before the last 20 years, I only ever saw this once.

[@grinded77]

Harris County and Houston has been run with the property developers interest first for decades. We got a taste during Allison. 2015 Tax Day floods and Harvey alerted us a major flood risk. Harris County is working on widening the bayous and deepening the retention ponds. They just finished widening bayous in my neighborhood.

[@xxxxMonkeyGirlxxxx]

Last time I checked the city and county were allowing things to be built on land that was supposed to be off limits for the purpose of retaining water when needed.

[@dianeobryan3006]

They are saying it's not so much the rain y'all got, but the rains all the way up to Wisconsin coming down on top of what y'all got! I'm keeping y'all in my thoughts and prayers 💞 😢

[@kevinyoshida3586]

Time to ask the Chinese tofu engineers for help! 😂

[@michaelshrader5139]

I moved to Plum Grove in 1987... and I bet the "once" you saw was in October 1994! I remember that week too, I had just bought and renovated my house in Plum Grove earlier that year... and being outside of any flood plain, my house had no flooding issues during that terrible week! But in the last 7 years since Colony Ridge screwed up our area's hydrology, my house flooded 4 times in 2 years and I'm told the house flooded again twice this past week each and every time from Camino Real (a subdivision by Colony Ridge developed in 2015-16) storm-water run-off! Nobody will hold Colony Ridge accountable though and reporters won't report on $1.5+ million dollars the Colony Ridge developer has "donated" to Gregg Abbott! It's just, frustrating!

[@angle5520]

Has the governor addressed the state? I'm sure he's contacted the federal government by now, but didn't know if he found the time to address his constituents?

[@michaelshrader5139]

Nah wait, he and others want Texas to secede though that's why Texas AG keeps on suing the Federal Government (which we are paying for all those lawsuits mind you!).... now we need the Fed's help? LMAO! ROF! This is just stupid.

[@geojesse9230]

There hasn’t been any rain today when was this from?

[@Geofbond1]

All the rain water anywhere north of here travels southward and ends up in the Gulf. It can take several days to travel that distance thru rivers, creeks and bayous.

[@diw.824]

It happened Sunday night Monday Morning somewhere between Kingwood and Livingston

[@michaelshrader5139]

Monday morning it came major rains just north and east of the 610 Loop.... then it did it again even worse Thursday morning! Also came heavy rainfall up between Lake Livingston and Huntsville (the watershed for the East Fork of the San Jacinto River) and up near Dallas area (watershed for Trinity River that then flows down to Lake Livingston, causing the Livingston dam to have to be opened to record levels again).

Weather forecasts aren't guaranteed. How many times have the weather meteorologist been completely wrong and rain storms fizzled as they approached SouthEast Texas? Hindsight is always 20/20.
