    Harvey-like Rain?!?!?!?! Are we even serious here? Admittedly bad rain isolated spots of 12" with broad areas of 4 to 6" versus... spots of 40 to 60" with average areas of 8 to 12". We are at least a magnitude if not 2 or 3 off on this one. Spot pedaling disaster! This is why folks stop trusting. Say, atypical significant rainfall, with spots of 12+" . Where a parts of a county or two may get that... instead of 2 to3 counties wide.

    Why did they release water from the Dam if they knew it would flood those south of it? I'm confused by this. Was it a reduction of risk for the rich at the expense of the poor or less influential? Why was the Dam opened to release this amount of water, knowing there would be serious flooding and a risk of loss of life for these residents? Inquiring mind wants to know.

    Because if water broke over the damn or caused damage to damn, it wouldn't be flooding they'd be worried about. They'd be fishing thousands of dead bodies out of the water 2 weeks from now after Lake Conroe finally finished draining. It has nothing to do with financial status of citizens. This has been going on with San Jacinto River Authority (and all river authorities for that matter) since they were built. It's common sense really. Watch what a damn or levee breaking looks like vs controlled releases and you tell me the better of the 2 options. I live south of the dam on the San Jacinto, FYI.

    If I'm not mistaken they release the water before the water completely fills the damn and it floods out. They can control how much water is released but once it's full it over! There are dams and bayous all over Houston and surrounding cities so so flooding is inevitable the real problem is the shxtty sewer system, it doesn't need to rain that long and some areas will be flood badly

    If a dam overflows it can fail and do MUCH more damage. The moral is never live downstream from a dam (so I don't). Never live in a flood plain (so I don't). Never live in an area reachable by storm surge (so I don't). Before you buy property check the geography, see if it ever flooded before (if yes, don't live there) and thoroughly study everything about the area. Far too many people don't check public records though if they did it could save their property, loved ones and their own lives. Caution and planning are free and learning how to live safely is priceless.

    Born and raised, it's still normal. Lame stream media gets more clicks and views for disaster reporting. Yes, we flooded, but like you said, it's been happening ever since they built the damn for Lake Conroe. It gets worse, the more they develop land and redirect water, but no one is smart enough to report on that. Easier to just scream bloody murder and get those clicks.

It's happened since they damed the lake, to provide a source of water for the citizens of Conroe. Please enlighten on us on how this compares to Kenya.
