Why was flooding during Hurricane Harvey so bad?

[@dark12ain]

Also what nobody is talking about is the depleted nature that use to make flooding harder, like marshlands trees and all of that, we are replacing nature with concrete and that's why. We don't have anything to soak up most of the water. Then we have poorly planned drainage systems that fail and flood even in the smallest amounts of rain. (Here's an idea build a huge I mean huge hole underground system where all the flood water could go. Like they have in Japa. We could also reuse some of that water as well. We just throw money at the dumbest things instead of the real problems

[@Reelunique]

Um it was also because the system literally hanged over us for a week and didn’t go anywhere like previous hurricanes that usually get pushed off by the jet stream. I still have ptsd from that storm.

[@dark12ain]

I really liked all that rain honestly, I was the only one in my house that didn't evacuate to Dallas, I was like no I'm actually enjoying the rain since it's my fav weather they was like ok and left, it wasn't that bad in my side so I played online the whole time with the windows up just listening to the calming of the rain it was so peaceful 😌😌

Maybe you can find a support group

[@txshasta1968]

Infrastructure, we have these hurricanes, you were not prepared.

[@nevrcm3261]

...and if you've lived here for any stretch of time. one knows that the ground (unless extremely dry due to a drought like this July) can soak up ~6 inches of rain then its saturated and starts to pool and flood. So 40-50 inches of rain is still gonna flood and flood badly.

Because Houston is built on a swamp

[@Jim-xz1ew]

Flooding during a hurricane . Could it be because its raining really hard? I got to get back to building my rocket.

[@r49y92]

The weather machine made the clouds

[@Mr_Welch]

Pretty sure all the water had something to do with it. The fact that we live in a swamp doesn't help. You don't find bayous in deserts

[@dysti2]

This is giving me PTSD

[@LOUDIntuition]

Plus being surround by bayou’s

[@Cat3465]

Katrina’s flooding was worse cuz she broke the leaves and it was so deep

[@marcelbrouwer2182]

50 years ago we knew there will be a tipping point we did nothing for 50 years now we will pay the price

[@trafficjam.]

For d Lord has arisen like a mighty warrior, like a woman in labor. Therefore d floodgates of heaven shall open and earth roll to and fro like a drunkard because of d sins of d people of d earth. We are in pain, we are in anguish, we r like a woman in labor but we bring forth nothing good, we bring forth death and destruction. For see, d LORD has come in Fire with his chariots like a Whirlwind, to strike home with his furious anger and with d flaming fire of his reproof. For d Lord saw and in his eyes, it was an evil thing tt there was NO JUSTICE and he was outraged tt NO MAN INTERVENED. High God of retribution tt he is, he pays in full measure, wreaking his anger on his foes (USA and evil nations), retribution to his enemies , so tt from d West, men shall fear his name, fear his glory from d rising of d sun. For what does d Lord demand of u, O Man, but to do justly, to love mercy and to walk humbly with God. After hearsts runaway 18-wheeler flew over d road to hit my car, I was hospitalized unconcious with brokened face, chest and leg, hearsts men and insurance men came to disturb me and behaved aggressively prompting Dr Parameswara to tell me tt I wld be killed after my discharge from d hospital. Coming out of d taxi in crutches, I was attacked. A month later, 2 more kkk became my neighbors and said: "we moved here from S Carolina and had already harmed many Asians there. We will succeed in killing u one day." In d next several months, I discovered that they had brokened into my apt 3 times, using Master key and added drugs/poison into my medication/drinks. Foiling them, they then started to terrorise me and came after midnight to punch my door while shouting profanities and threats to kill me. One day, my door was split into two after a whole night of punching. My door was a hardwood one. I told them tt it was meaningless to harrass me as I wld be graduating soon and wld return to Singapore to resume my job as I had taken unpaid leave to study in Houston. I advised them tt it was a foolish thing to harm me as d police wld arrest them. They laughed and told me tt American police wld not help minorities and strangers as they were d big and strong ones, d supreme race superpower who built up d USA, liked burning crosses and adored Hitler (and then saluted Hitler) and therefore entitled to give me shit and show me no mercy for giving trouble to America in meeting with an accident. D 2 kkk from Texas had previously told me d same thing, refusing to accept d fact that Hearst failed to correct d faulty brake which caused d 18-wheeler to fly over d road. I felt great distress and walked away but felt a need to eavesdrop and overheard them planning to put something into my petrol tank to break my neck in another accident. They expressed great anger and hatred tt my neck failed to break when hit by hearsts 18-wheeler. 2 nights later, I caught them prying my petrol tank and called d police. Nothing was done and they then pushed me down d staircase and punched me relentlessly to kill me but only broke my face again as Jennifer, a 12 year old girl living across d street rushed out to say that she wld call d police. Very quickly, 3 white policemen came to scold me for not cleaning up my bloodied face and then asked for d race of my attackers. 2 policemen burst out laughing in great glee and joy as though they were in a circus show when I told them tt it was white men and they then left without saying another word. Seeing tt they had failed to kill me secretly, America then changed its tactics to get me killed by d authorities as in d story of Patty Hearst, Daniel in d Bible and Jesus Christ. At d Harris County Court, a black giant Gestapo constable strangled and choked me and carried me into jail with one hand for no reason. D pain was excruciating and I thought tt AdolpAmerica had succeeded in breaking my neck as I cld not speak or breathe. I suffer neck pain since d incident in 1987. Inside the jail, I was in great anguish thinking tt AdolpAmerica had kidnapped me to send me to the gas chamber like what they did to d 6 million Jews as I cld not think of any reason why I was kidnapped. Eventually, judge Alex Green brought me out but ignoring d CCTV footage, instructed d constables to frame 3 false charges to lock me up again. Complaining to d authorities, d authorities told me tt Asians wld not be treated justly as Asians used d technology belonging to America to do well in life and tt all tech in d world were invented by America. Focused on studying, I won 3 competitive scholarships and graduated with triple honors and returned to Singapore to resume my job as a prison officer and lay pastor. I worked in prisons service to minister d Bible and deliverance to demonised prisoners, twice a day after work at 2 prisons. In 1987, I ministered deliverance to an American badly tormented by demons at d Lakewood church. I love Jesus since d age of 6 years old and started serving God since d age of 15 years old. Around this age, Dr James Hanam, church elder, JP and superintendent of d Brethren Sunday School told me tt God had shown him tt I was a chosen one whom God wld give his great power to me to bring great judgments and punishment on d nations for their sins and evil. Around 1978, Dr Wesley Hurst, president of d AOG church of America told me tt God has chosen me and he placed his hand atop my head and d Holy Spirit like a million volt of electricity rushed into me and I became gifted. Around 1980, at d St Andrews Cathedral, d Hand of God like a flame and 3 balls of fire came into me in d presence of Bishop Chiu who acknowledged that I was a chosen one. My health succumbed to d great traumas/poisoning inflicted on me by America and I had to be medically retired. In 1989, I borrowed money to fly back to Houston to seek insurance claim. One day before d trial, America used a pickup with giant wheels to press d back of my car which flew over 3 lanes but did not hit any other vehicles. D next day, during d trial, d lawyer for Hearst falsely called me a Japanese-singaporean (America is jealous and hates Japanese and Asians over Toyota. A Malaysian Chinese girl student and a Singaporean Chinese girl student had their heads bashed with baseball bat after Vincent Chin, an ABC was killed this way and d court let d murderers off) and tt I shld not be given justice as Hearst was their employer. D court returned d verdict tt it was my fault tt Hearst's 18-wherler flew over d road and thus, I was not entitled to claim insurance. Jay Young, my ex-housemate and church friend then told me tt he had been instructed to tell me tt I shld not tell others about what they did to me or America wld send assasins to singapore to kill me. Around 2005, several Tibetans tried to kill me. I saw in KZbin tt America had trained 5000 Tibetans as CIA agents to deal with Asians. American pastors in Singapore laughed at me when I sought help to correct d injustices. unable to bear d great pains and seeing my poor aged parents in great sorrows over my ruined life and no one to take up my cause, I prayed on, remembering tt God is love and therefore is just and always d helper of d helpless. God then sent Dr Wayne Clark from S California to pray for me and a stream of fire flowed into me- Dan 7:10. God added d fire to d golden censer (me) and OVERTURNED it on d earth as in Rev 8. Golden censer is thus symbolic of faith in God thru prayers undergoing fiery trials. God gave me a vision similar to Ez 9 and gifted me with d 6 weapons/angels/plagues: wind, water, fire, earth, pestilences and wars (judges 9, d first such retribution of release of devils causing wars and Americans terrorising Americans was 911). Like Zerrubabbel, God makes me to shake d heaven and earth and chariots and their bases such as Clark's AB and Subic NB and Lyndon AB. It's not by might, nor by power but by d Spirit of God. I saw Father God wielding an Axe devastating Man/USA and God told me to command disasters on d USA until compensation paid as his Hand will fight for me against d USA. God said tt he was d one who told Moses to get compensation from Egypt. But while God was axing Man/USA, Man/USA was relaxing indifferently or murmuring and arguing with God and the axings progressively become more and more, faster and faster and harder and harder until suddenly, Man/usa split as wide as d ocean. Searching d Bible for this symbolism, I found it in Jeremiah regarding d destruction of Israel by Babylon: "your wounds gape as wide as d ocean, it cannot be healed." God also asked me to read deuteronomy showing tt USA is cursed in d City, cursed in d country for doing injustices to strangers (d helpless) and touching God's anointed king. Like David who was anointed king 3 times, I have been anointed thrice with d anointings of Called, Chosen and Faithful to become a heavenly king, Army of Heaven to strike down d evil nations- monsters great red dragons committing monstrous moral distortions. Commanding, Fire of God produced EMW came forth to carry my commands, form a picture and activated d disasters on d dates I chose, d firsts were hurricane Hugo and St Francisco EQ but for Chinatown to stand. Ordinary fire/electricity can also produce EMW to carry sound and picture but only reproduced in TV. God is a living, eternal consuming fire whose EMW (Hand) can create good or evil - Isaiah 45. God fulfilled d prophecy of Psalms 18.. USA fulfilled d prophecy of Obadiah to break d eternal covenant of brotherly love made with God thru d shed blood of Jesus Christ. D covenant requires d blood of Ephraim (USA & western nations of d cross) to be shed. It's d nature of blood covenant. On first Sunday of 2010, at d Wesley Methodist Church, d WORD of God exactly similar to Isaiah 24 came to me in a STILL SMALL VOICE- ELIJAH IN MALACHI. Global Warming, Day of d Lord, Day of d Great Wrath of d LAMB/COVENANT set in on d said date.
