We've never seen a hurricane like Harvey. A storm crossing its own path is rare and Harvey's track is amazing, basically not moving but just dumping rain. So the area wound up with a 1 in 500 year flood. Do you really prepare for that as a city building dams etc?
But a question for the locals. What percent of the area or population has/will be flooded?
We've been fortunate to avoid significant hurricanes, mud slides and earthquakes. Never been in the most scary to me which is a tornado.
We are donating to the Red Cross to help.
In retrospect we now know that neither New Orleans or Houston is designed for abnormal flooding.
