:facepalm:
So 100 yrs ago, before asphalt and cement roads existed, what caused the flooding then?
Also, do you really think the soils under roads stays completely dry and doesn't absorb surrounding water?
Did any open fields flood?
YOU CANNOT EVER STOP FLOODING ANYWHERE IF THEY HAVE RECORD RAINFALL IN A NON STOP SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME, PERIOD!

THIS
It is really amazing that people do not understand this. Houses are being built in what used to be natural flood plains for overrun water. Just because it is not designated as a FEMA flood plain does not mean water doesn't settle there or that area didn't absorb water in the past.
Perfect example: Carnecro never flooded, Youngsville builds up, Canrencro now floods, because the water has no where to go.
