The city deserves it's share of the blame tho
The frequent construction exacerbates the flooding
More concrete where grass and dirt used to be? More flooding
That some affect but realize both Harvey and now Imelda were top 5 tropical rain events in history. Flooding is inevitable in those cases and I'd bet most other large metropolitan cities would fair far worse.
It is the cities fault. Everyone knew this storm was coming. By wed night buffalo bayou was near capacity. Should have advised everyone to stay home on Thursday putting employers on notice. Cutting metro service Thursday at 11AM didnt help either stranding people. Everyone trying to leave work after the bayous overflowed made this worse than harvey traffic wise. How can you not blame the city government? I had the shytiest uber driver ever trying to pull 1 over on me.
I'm charging the company and got my money bike. 
Yeah, but what about the tax floods and random ass days where it rains for more than a few hours and fukks shyt up
I'll be heading to Houston in a couple of months for a weekend, which areas should I look to stay? And where is the main areas for bars/lounges?

People gotta start using their own common sense though. I got up on Thursday, looked at the radar and knew I wasn't leaving the house. And at that time the storms were on the North and I live in Pearland. I knew what was about to happen. You either had to stay home or go to work and stay there. I do agree these businesses deciding to said people home mid day right in the storm was fukked up. HISD closing schools around that time was fukked up to. But you can't expect the mayor to shut the city down that morning. When shyt starting getting bad he advised to shelter in place.

Both Tax day and Memorial day floods were weird weather events to. Both storms basically sat over Houston for hours. Anytime you here slow moving storm and heavy rain expect flooding on those levels.
This is bigger than those two storms tho
Houston has had record flooding every year since 2015(maybe 2014)
Coincidentally Houston had been building a lot of shyt really fast to accommodate the population boom of the last few years
All the new construction definitely contributes to the flooding. I saw it happen in the Heights over the years
Harvey, Tax Day, Labor Day, Memorial Day, Imelda. All pretty much the same type of rain events. Show me a city that handled that amount of rain in those type of periods and didn't flood. It where Houston ever handled those type of rain events.I wait. Sure all the construction doesn't help but that isn't the main driver here. These storms are different and unfortunately it's not a part of living in SETX. I mean y'all do realize the storm didn't just cause flooding in Houston. Winnie/Beaumont area was worse and there isn't a bunch of concrete there.
I'm not talking like Houston ain't supposed to flood. It's a bowl of course it floods
I'm only saying I've watched the rapid construction contribute to worse flooding in certain areas
Replacing grass and dirt with concrete is gonna redistribute that water in a different way
