I know little about Houston besides what I have learned from SA threads, and what I know is this: - They suck at highway planning and have way too many highways stacked on top of each other - it rains there once every three years and when it happens it's an absolute catastrophe

Yeah Houston floods constantly, it's just that only the mega floods get the attention. And since mega floods are the new normal.

The runoff is someone else's problem. Luneshot posted:you spelled "abandoning the city and anyone who can't afford to move to the wrath of the rising sea" wrong Houston is too major of a port to be abandoned. Poor people will still get hosed over of course.

deadwing posted:https://twitter.com/rachelabc13/status/1174741806417895424?s=19 and remember that it made landfall as a named hurricane only a couple hours after being identified as a tropical depression, pouring down torrential rain on Texas before many people had even heard the weather reports the rapid development of this storm is real alarming because it came about too fast for anyone to really prepare for it. the fact that it's also climbing its way up the record charts with so little time spent charging up is real bad news
