        I couldn't do it. Bad city planning allowing development around reservoirs and on flood plain. City has some hard decisions to make

        No, if a home is in a flood zone it shouldn't be allowed to be rebuilt. Build in a non flood zone area.

        Houston has had unmitigated urban sprawl, paving water absorbing farm/marsh land. Floods are easier. Unless city/area makes changes, repeat

        Perhaps Brays Bayou needs improvement. All of the bayous& reservoirs in Houston/Harris County need improvement
