Hello there! I've been concerned about the greater Houston area for flooding and prolonged disruption of water/sewage in a big city. Hoping I'm wrong.

Take good care, and keep us updated when you are able.

it may not stop raining in the houston metro for four days almost nonstop starting now

like I said before the onshore flow will back water drainage

first heavy bands now moving in

also they will be in the right side with isolated tornadoes

still can’t believe the stall of a rather large major hurricane

Regarding sewage, you raise an important point.

Last time we had a flooding event I rode the bayou upstream on my mountain bike until it got too deep.

I made it to the Southwest waste treatment plant and could see the water was almost to the lip of giant open settling ponds.

In the 2015 Memorial Day flooding a nearby plant released 100,000 gallons of raw sewage. The water was pushing into some neighborhoods and sucking out of other neighborhoods as it went downstream, so I’m sure it went everywhere. I live in one of those neighborhoods.
