The bayous (the most significant aspect of Houston's drainage infra) do not max out with 1/2 inch of rain. Maybe you're thinking of something else?

- NoOneNew 6y agoNot the commentor, but I think they're referring to those flood zones that were recently built on that were the worst hit by flooding. To be fair, those parts were disasters waiting to happen because the flood surveys weren't taken seriously when they decided to build on them.
- ryanmarsh 6y ago"those flood zones that were recently built on" Most of the Houston MSA is a flood zone. The areas that were worst hit were not "recently" built on. The areas recently built on will have much better drainage because the codes have changed. I suggest doing more reading of primary sources and perhaps studying the hydrology and history before speaking further on this subject.
