The fact that they aren't a usual event is probably exactly the challenge here.
- antonymoose 4mo agoIt may not be usual in Atlanta itself, but living on the Southeastern coast within a mile or two of the water, for 30+ years, it’s a surprisingly common occurrence. I’ve got old photos around of kayaking through downtown Charleston during college, for instance, where the street flooding is not only usual but a many times per season occurrence. Lots of seaside areas have the same issue.
- throwaway2037 4mo ago> it’s a surprisingly common occurrence That is wild. What happens to all of the flooded property? Do they tear-down and rebuild everything after every major flood? Or massive rennovations? It cannot believe this is truly possible as flood insurance would become impossible expensive.
- trollbridge 4mo agoI’ve lived in a place where it flooded every year or two. It floods regularly where I live now too. Locals know which roads to avoid and not to drive into a flood.
- thrownthatway 4mo agoFloods aren’t a usual even. Have you ever even been outside?
- ranger207 4mo agoI just moved from an apartment right next to where this Waymo got stuck: https://old.reddit.com/r/Atlanta/comments/1tj00sl/flooding_in_midtown_ooof/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Atlanta/comments/1tj00sl/flooding_i... and I can say that that particular intersection floods about every time it rains hard. That being said, yesterday's rain was particularly heavy and I hadn't seen that intersection flood that bad since before Waymo started being rolled out here
