        August 17th storm was spotted. Plenty of time to evacuate and have plans in place. Reacting instead of acting.

        But what you can do is not over develop. Building in flood planes and not maintaining or improving infrastructure is a problem! Sickening!

        The nws rain forecast was spot on. Maybe even a little conservative. And the hurricane track models are accurate also.

        You can only evac targeted areas. The lowest elevations near bayous and rivers. Even the not everyone will go.

        The ball was dropped. Knew hurricane was coming. It's a lot easier to evacuate before hurricane than after. Reactionary instead of proactive

        Rita's evacuation resulted in severe highway backups... The same highways which are now flooded. So, yeah... This is the better option.

        you think these people are more worried about highway backups or drowning in their basement?

        if you assume the worst, probably a wash... at least one of the options has better possible results

        The issue has been the 10 mph movement and high pressure from northwest causing hovering - rain!

        Let's invest then in how to predict these increasing climate disasters rather than invest in a wall that will require billions ongoing.
