Lived off of Telephone Rd in the late 70s and early 80’s when I worked in the fab shops and chemical plants all around the area. Went through a few tropical storms and one hurricane. Remember it being flooded from Hobby all the way to the coast a number of times. Old timers said that was just run of the mill stuff.
I don’t think much has changed except that Hobby is huge now. Some of the areas on the street leading to it from the north are really not too whippy and seems to me like their flooding has only gotten worse.
