Gosh.

It’s a good thing the Houston Chronicle let us know that a lot of rain could be a problem.

We might never know.

I think the reason they made that graphic is most people don’t understand what constitutes the “Houston area” in size. I’ve seen this on several social media platforms, and people are amazed at the land size in comparison to other geographic areas.

I’m a native Houstonian and live in the impacted area. I also have weathered TS and hurricanes going back to Hurricane Carla in 1961, but this one even has natives amazed at how wide spread it was, the relentlessness of the rain, and the sheer volume of water it dumped.

Let me know the next time 4 ft of rain falls on your head in less than 72 hrs if you already knew what that was like.
