Southeast Texas, Beaumont ant the surrounding areas, as well as parts of Houston are like New Orleans and should not be places where people live, or at least not where we the United States taxpayers must keep paying to rebuild after a flood.
The people of New Orleans and Southeast Texas should move to areas that are less likely to flood.
Insurance shouldn’t pay out but once. After that, too bad.
I'm not sure I know a place that wouldn't flood after nearly 4' of rain in 72 hours or in the case of Harvey over 5' in 4 days. Right now it's running off fairly well with underpasses and low lying highways being the biggest problems. We are stuck in little islands with no access to groceries or gas, but at least the power has stayed on this time. I know everyone here isn't as fortunate.
The major industries in that area are oil/gas and ports.
So, where are these industries going to go?
California has fires. The midwest has tornadoes. We have floods. Every place has it’s problems.
My family has lived in this area over 90 years.
I LIKE living here.
You can kiss my burnished backside with your "Southeast Texas, Beaumont ant the surrounding areas, as well as parts of Houston are like New Orleans and should not be places where people live" BS.
The people of New Orleans and Southeast Texas should move to areas that are less likely to flood.
I'll do that as soon as you get a clue.
I obviously won't have to be moving any time soon.
