I feel bad for all those people whose lives are totally disrupted by this flooding.
But I've been hearing on the news that a lot of the problem is that there has been so much building in Houston, and so much concrete covering the earth, and so much of the wetlands destroyed, that the water has no place to go.
I heard that they have 150,000 new people there every year. Is that possible?
At what point do people say "We just can't take anymore/build anymore, because it's counterproductive to our existence?
This area floods on a regular basis because of it's low sea level, poor drainage, etc.
How many times will people continue to rebuild in coastal areas when weather seems to be getting regularly worse?
How long will insurance companies keep allowing people to have insurance who live on coastal areas?
When will people put 2+2 together and get 4?
More floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, droughts, fires.........When will people even begin to consider that it might just be related to how mankind lives?
