Houston Mayor issues Mandatory evac notice

[Manonthestreet]

No one knows ....exactly.........so do nothing is order of the day?

Those who live in flood prone areas did evac on their own because they knew it was going to flood their area.
It's all the areas that have never flooded that are the problem.

From what I've read West Houston quals as flood prone

Only parts of it.
My old neighborhood had never flooded.
Lived there in 85 and have a buddy who still lives there and he got water in his home.

Normally the reservoirs do a great job even during hurricanes and most of the flooding is from storm surge.

The reservoirs cover forty square miles and contain no water during normal times. The dams reach a height of thirty six feet in places....and they are now topped off and then some.
That gives you an idea of just how much rain we've received.

Now they have no choice but to drain the reservoirs as fast as possible or risk a possible breach which of course causes more flooding downstream.

I was born and raised in Houston, lived there 50+ years, no one knows what's going to happen with these storms...

Rita caused the largest traffic jam in history when 5 million plus tried to evacuate because of the fear of what happened in New Orleans from Katrina, today I-10 West and I-45 North are converted to all lanes north in anticipation of storms like this, just because of Rita, it took me 12+ hours to get to Austin, usually a 2 to 3 hour drive...

Tropical Storm Allison flooded areas that had never been flooded...

Channel 13 has good intentions I am sure, but they are guessing at best...

Stop the criticizing and just pray for the people who have been devastated by this storm, enough already...

Yeah lets not learn anything ......that others learned the hard way.......lets not benefit from past mistakes..........

I understand it's in our nature to criticize because our LMSM causes hysteria based on nothing more than hype, you're proof positive just in case you missed it. The vast majority of development in the Greater Houston and Harris County Region over the last 50 years has been done preparing for major flooding.

No one designs or builds to manage a 800 to 1,000 year event...

Did you see the pics of the freeways in Houston last week? Can you imagine how many would have died in their cars with a manditory evac gridlock then?

About 50 deaths so far from Harvey. In the last evacuation, there were about 100 evacuation related deaths before the hurricane even made landfall. It's a rough and traumatic time for everybody, and it's tempting to Monday morning quarterback to find someone to blame for the massive loss of lives and property, but the choice to not evacuate before Harvey hit was the right choice.

If you have a plan, evacuation deaths will be at a minimum.

Contraflow needs to be issued...before the fucking storm hits.

These other post must have been done by your evil twin, can't fix stupid...

 

[Bush92]

If you have never lived in this area, it's very hard to understand much less criticize...

I have been through three hurricanes. Mayor is an idiot.

Nothing hysterical there....thats called mockery

So what was your point then?

 

[Manonthestreet]

BTW some projections are showing IRMA at a high 5

The evacuation order was only for the areas right next to a dam that overflowed, you f****** dumbass.

 

[Manonthestreet]

Your point seems to be nothing needed or should have been done......sitting and receiving the full force of the storm and then evacing is much easier and safer.....cant wait for the blame game to be put on Trump for not doing enough

 

[GWV5903]

Nothing hysterical there....thats called mockery

Then you have a very sick sense of humor, if you believe "mockery" is appropriate at this time, wow...

Another Key Board Commando running off at the mouth who knows nothing of the region or the real issues at hand...

How much have you donated to help the victims of this storm?

Can you describe such miraculous plan please?
