having been through our flood here, it is something that creeps up on you... you don't think its "that bad" but suddenly you have no power, no water, your parkade door won't open, its pitch black in the hallways of your condo building...
the issue is that there are 6 million people in houston and while it is spread out area i would imagine those affected would be 100s of 1000s?
In calgary, i think it was tens of thousands...i live in mission, so parts of the area were flooded, but some areas weren't, but the grid was out...
i don't think people realize the scale of what this catastrophe will be, but if the storm is stalled it will be massive.
