        I heard stories of rescue boats getting their motors hung up on the roofs of SUVs hidden under the water.

          One report had a motor hitting the roof of a house. Wife's cousin lives in Cypress. She tweeted Harris County has received 650 billion gallons of rain. . Just sent us unbelievable photos of 17' of water burying a freeway

            I'm hesitant to go as far as saying Houston could experience Katrina level flooding, but things are getting bad all through the metro area, and more is coming.
            This is due mostly to rain. Katrina flooding was mostly storm surge from the Gulf. This is being called a thousand year storm.

                It's sad but if they had done a little reading they would have known that Houston had zero city planning for anything like this. From the reporting this morning they paved over flood plains without even batting an eyelash.

                  I'm not sure that if you were to look into the emergency management plans of any U.S. city you're going to find a chapter entitled, "What to do when you get 50 inches of rain."
                  That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

                    As I understand it this has happened before. However, this time it's 12' higher. It's just another example of how we never learn.

                      You took the words right out of my mouth. This has never happened before in the US since we started detailing weather records. I heard this morning that experts have estimated this storm has dropped over 11 trillion gallons of water and it's not over yet.

                      Scooby, there aren't many places in the US that can handle four feet of rain in under a week. Probably none.

                      Put the amount of rain in perspective, to date in 2017, MSP has received 27" of rain. They received that in the first 24-48 hours.

                      What could they possibly have learned. You throw out "but this time it's 12' higher" like it's inconsequential. How the hell do you learn from that?

                      Did you mean 12" more rain? Even then, how do you fix that in a city like Houston. Even $100 billion to put that kind of infrastructure in would be just scratching the surface. We're probably talking about something closer to a $1 trillion to fix a city of that size's infrastructure to handle a storm like this.

                        Still, the very definition of risk mitigation is there is a chapter entitled "What you can do when the unimaginably awful happens." For example, in the USG we have continuity of operations plans and the last chapter is literally "Catastrophe Mitigation," where the event is left undefined but it stands for "even worse" than the specified scenarios. Considering one of the specified scenarios is nuclear war... Anyway, the Catastrophe Mitigation is a set of protocols that depend on what's left: do you have infrastructure, do you have comms, do you have a command structure, etc. At each stage there are steps you take to try to prevent even more massive damage. This is actually one of the key responsibilities of government.
