Columbia Lakes is considerably south of Houston proper and that this won’t affect Houston itself

Columbia Lakes is on the Brazos river across from West Columbia TX. It is closer to the coast than it is to Houston.

This breach is another indication of the historic nature of what we are seeing here. That levee was put in in the late 60s and has seen several 500+ year events.

I am seeing flooding where there has never been water before where I live (37 years).

Hmmm. If you have several events in 50 years they are not 500 year events, sort of by definition, right?

So maybe THIS is the 500 year event? Or at least the 100 year event. 1900 in Galveston was pretty hard on Houston some have said.
