Anonymous Coward User ID: 68476868 United States 05/26/2015 09:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This happens every ten years or so. Check spring/summer 2003. It was bad then too. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 69130353 ^ THIS This is not climate chaos, Jade Helm, "unprecedented," "worst ever," etc. If you've lived on the TX Gulf Coast for at least 10 years, you've experienced this at least once. If you've lived there longer, well then you're a pro at this sorta thing. Most non-locals freak out the first time they experience a standard TX rainstorm with golf ball size rain drops, let alone a flash flood or noteworthy storm like this. The media hypes it because doom sells. And politicians hype it because if their response sucks, they have some wiggle room, and if their response meets or exceeds expectations, they're heroes. Only difference between this and the last big Houston storm is there more Obamatards living off gov't cheese, more transgender bathrooms, and the Rockets are in the playoffs. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 68476868 Worse Texas storm ever. It's not just a downpour. I promise it's not. Tropical Storm Allison: * 35 inches of rain in 12 hours * 95,000 cars flooded and/or abandoned * 73,000 homes flooded * 41 deaths * cars stranded on every Houston area freeway...not just 59 * Texas Medical Center under water * only tropical storm to have its name retired This exceeds that by a long shot. You realize this storm hit all of central Texas, Austin, etc, and broke 2 state dams? 200K homes destroyed, easy. |

It also pummeled other parts of TX, LA- all the way to Pennsylvania. |
