re: Kingwood is the safest place to live in Houston

That’s a risk some don’t mind taking to have an $850k home along the river

But it’s bullshite because it didn’t flood like it did because of the natural rising of the lake.

The engineers purposely opened the Conroe dam and flooded Kingwood downstream so that the houses on Lake Conroe wouldn’t flood.

That’s what everyone in Kingwood is pissed about and they are suing from what I understand.

Yeah possibly could have been worse if the damn had failed which some think it would have. People are just upset. Now there is so much sand and shite in the lake/river that shite floods with 4 inches of rain.

That’s the santorum you smelled. It’s intoxicating if you’re in the right mood.

The flooding issue was not much different than Baton Rouge. Some parts of Kingwood are in a flood plain. No one is totally shocked when those parts flood. The flooding shockingly matched up with flood maps. The majority of Kingwood not in flood plains did not flood.

The Houston councilman that represents Kingswood is Dave Martin, an LSU grad, and one of my fraternity brothers in PKT.
