A Kingwood business strip opened Friday with a bone dry parking lot. In a matter of hours, the businesses became islands during the flooding emergency.

    Houston aggravated the severity of floods by no restrictions to growth, eliminating wetlands, expanding concrete areas. What do expect? Greed at the highest level by companies to expand with no consequences for terrible development.

    It has always floods there.. I was born in the 60s and flooding there. That’s when we were surprised they built Kingwood there.
  • @TOMVUTHEPIMP
    Why are they stunned? That place is underwater every hurricane.
  • @-OBELUS-
    Forest Cove floods fairly often.

    Kingwood resident here. The rise of flood water stunned none of us. Literally none of us. You know who seemed stunned? The anchorman of the news station that posted this video two days after the flood happened. o.O Hamblen in Forest Cove floods every time you clean your windshield over there. It is known. :P

    The crazy part is that a lot of these people have boats, but it’s at the storage lot or marina

    Setting up water catch basin attached to house gutters and Fish ponds on your property helps HUGE with community flooding

  • @oldspiritart
    If you’re considering moving anywhere near a tidal area or the southern seaboard anywhere, don’t. Trust me, I left Newport News because the elevation is measured in inches and always flooding. I’d had enough. Trust me, don’t.

    The insurance companies are biting their nails right now.😮
  • @theccwdad
    Flood warnings for a week but they were surprised 😂😂😂
  • I have an Idea people don't have to do it. If they have a 2 story house they should put most of their stuff up stairs. Anytime it floods people that stay on the second floor around to survive and help others when it is over.

    Just thinking about all the gasoline tanks full of water at the stations 😢😢😢 Don’t buy it

    Seems they may want to control the run, or pay the folks and declare it’s a flood plane
