Once again, the Kingwood, Texas, area is experiencing a significant flood. It is becoming a way of life that engineering can solve, but our political and economic system proves incapable of mitigating.
Kingwood Texas Flood
While I am urged to rant about these floods and why many who are flooded support those who create the policies that cause them, I will refrain. In these times of stress, exhaustion, mental pain, and despair, the most important thing is to get people’s lives back to as normal as possible.
Safety and Information First
Visit the Harris County Flood Warning System website to sign up for alerts and see the flooding status in our area. You can monitor the Lake Houston levels at the USGS website. Visit Kingwood Resident Bob Rehak’s excellent blog on area flooding, which includes reports, analysis, and much more.
I spent Friday and Saturday exploring flooded areas. The sunny, pleasant weather could not mask the slow-moving unfolding catastrophe for many. Fortunately, in these trying times, the community seems to come together.
