This KPRC live stream is getting more bleak by the minute. Reservoir is going to be flooded on the back and add to the flooding in Buffalo Bayou at the same time. Sienna Plantation may be inundated by the Brazos River on Tuesday. The levee system will be at full capacity.

ETA - KPRC, not KHOU

So did you want the 4th largest city in the country to evacuate the night before or during the Hurricane landfall?

They were predicting over 20 inches of rain in Houston Tuesday morning

I think some of you forget we can still scan through this thread

It's also amusing to see Tiger Ryno arrogantly beg for rain in earlier pages only to be severely humbled just days later

The BR area meteorologist I've been following seem to think BR won't get anything it can't handle. Hopefully that remains true.

Regardless, you have said you are dumb if you didn't evacuate yet you offer no solution to the problem.


Too late to evacuate when the storm hits.
Pay attention to the weather reports. When multiple sources tell you to expect up to 60" of rain in three days, pack up and leave. There is no simpler solution than that.
As far as the folks in nursing homes and hospitals are concerned, the administrator should make that decision on behalf of his or her residents. Why wait for a mayor or governor to order an evacuation?

Oh no.


It was hard to understand the release they read. Seems like people will be stuck in homes, but not necessarily flooded out completely.

Known?

And still, if we had "known", Friday was still too late to evacuate that many people.

With the internet and the 24 hour news cycle, if you need a government entity to tell you to leave then you're dumb.


This is what happened the last time the government told Houston to evacuate for Rita.


People spent 6 hours and moved 2 miles and said frick it. People ran out of gas and had to abandon where they were at. Dozens died just waiting in traffic because emergency personnel could not get to them.

You want people just to leave in a free for all. No fricking thank you.

Go back through this thread and look at the dates. When did a consensus about what was coming appear? There was plenty of time to hop on I-10 and head east, or head towards Dallas. If you want to blame it on the mayor or whoever then go ahead.
