There was days of warning on the storm. Yet we're seeing thousands of vehicles left parked in areas known to flood or out driving in high risk flood areas (such as the freeway in the vid). What were they thinking?

A few minutes of research tells me that Houston had 16 major flood events from 1836 to 1936. Were they the result of changes to our global climate? Rhetorical question. They weren't. This part of Texas has been flooding for hundreds of millions of years (The continent of North America is about 250 million years old).

@Ol-Gabe ..Mind boggling. There needs to be some changes to flood controls and responses to storm warnings. I did a bit of research and Houston has been have major floods for hundreds of years.

@peekpeek9545 .. Thanks for that info. I'm just looking at the footage from afar and shaking my head. For example, the river that flooded the freeways and roads in the vid (with thousands of vehicles) would've been rising over days. This was no flash flood.

Vincent Gonzales ..Thanks for that info. I'm learning from comments such as yours that Houston is notorious for very quick changes to conditions. It's clearly very poorly engineered for flooding.
