Houston flood

[shack]

These are some of the remnants of Hurricane Harvey passing through right now through Toronto.

Kind cool, huh??

Not cool. I had a good round going but got washed out on the 14th.

What was cool was that from about 200 yards away we could see the rain coming at us like a huge swarm of bees.

Houston is a monument to unregulated capitalism/ bad government. They paved the whole town and covered the natural system of streams and ravines.... but hey, somebody got rich!

You got it partially correct,... the "bad" government is totally responsible.

The uncontrolled development would not happened if there was "good" government there.

Totally agree. It is not like they had no idea Houston gets bombed by Hurricanes.


Even the reservoirs could not be released without flooding parts of town


In Toronto storm waters flow naturally into the lake as Toronto is elevated above the lake . Houston seems almost level with the bayous


Same thing with New Orleans. They evacuated because they clearly knew the damns would not hold. They should of built better damns but the politicians just argued about it
