for this hurricane there should have been ah plan for escape

re;
Houston needs to be evacuated on Monday

before dark as much as feasible...


Forcasters are not looking

at the tidal flow from

Tropical Storm Harvey as

the threat it can be...


As Harvey emerges back

into the gulf the wind

force will start pushing

tidal flow back toward

Galveston, Houston, and

into Louisiana coastline...


That tidal flow will NOT

allow draining of current

flood waters from Houston

as fast as needed...


Flood levee system around

Houston is already pushed

past design...


It may only take 6 or

more inches on any given

levee part to trigger

a failure...


And any failure could

trigger quick, unexpected

water rise of 6 feet or

more downstream fast...


And any single failure

could stress other levee

areas downstream into a

failure, and so on...


Design isn't the problem

for the drainage system...


A massive amount of water

that cannot be moved quick

enough is the problem...


Dicey is a minimal word

to consider the scenario

now as it has unfolded

and how much more stress

could be handled by the

water control system around

the Houston area...


Harvey is a cat 6 mudslinger

which may soon pull another

revolver from the holster...LJ
