    In the Netherlands there are lots of places that are sacrificial reservoirs. You aren't allowed to just build in those places, and if you do get permission, you have to be clearly aware of the danger and flood insurance is mandatory by law. Even with that there is a fund in place to help restore the lives of people who lost their homes and businesses. A similar system would help to prevent these kind of situations. That with the frequent investments in protection.
    I really feel for the guy who made the decision to open the flood gates. That is a horrifyingly awful choice to make, how necessary it is. That's why many places in the Netherlands have computers making that choice, because if someone is afraid to lose their home in a flood, they might not open the gates and cause further damage that could have been prevented.
    I really hope that laws prohibiting foreign companies taking up civil engineering projects in the US are removed and lessons learned elsewhere in the world are gathered, with the right expertise, and taught to help keep people safe in the future.

      DakaONER94 the Netherlands has a particular history with the water. So eventually people said enough is enough and started doing something about it. The water defenses are decades in the making and still being developed. But the plans look towards a 100 or 500 years into the future.

    In two weeks it will be the one-year anniversary since this disaster. Only two days ago my family and I moved back into the second floor of our house, which got four feet of water after the water was released from the dams shown in this video. Watching this caused a visceral reaction with elevated heart rate and emotion. Notice the man said the dam was almost to capacity, not AT capacity. And yet thousands of homes were sacrificed, taking not just our clothes, furniture, household items, but also our pictures, home movies, childrens' art work...irreplaceable things. It makes me sick and angry at the same time. Nothing anyone can say will convince me they had to release that water. And, they keep failing to mention that they started releasing water seven hours before they said they would, taking away precious opportunity to save our irreplaceable belongings.

    • @honeysucklejen
      @honeysucklejen 6 лет назад

      So sorry for your loss - I fully believe that the decision to release the water from both Addicks and Barker dams was premature and unnecessary. By early Monday morning most of the rain and severe weather had stopped and the levels in both dams should have started to recede or evaporate as the sun came out in full force by Wednesday. My apartment complex flooded and we were forced out Monday morning with no warning. They said they were not releasing Barker until after Addicks but that was a lie. So sad that thousands lost so much and had to be displaced. I only hope the class action suit will bring about change and some monetary relief later on to repay people for what was taken.

    I'm an architect and urbanist and one of the things I've seen in Houston that is unforgivable is uncontrolled sprawl. I can't believe how many of the city center blocks are used for parking and how suburban houses start just a few blocks from the the skyscrapers. The city could be more compact, more efficient and better for its residents. Shame on politicians for not regulating the construction and real estate industry.

    @ofmiat4693 7 лет назад +4

    I went home shopping in georgia, north of atlanta, and turned down many homes for basic flood risk. So many were built where they should not be, or built without any thought for rain water management. Many people just accept that if a house was built, it is safe, and don't look at flood maps, or local risks. I saw washed out foundations, poor drainage, and many other problems with homes, and sites. Most people just are not taught to look for issues anymore, and information that would be helpful is sometimes hard to find. I several times did not want to get out of the car to look at a home, because I saw so many issues from the driveway. I feel for many of these people, but many did not look past the price for problems.

    What's sad to me is I used to supervise the help desk for FEMAs MIP (mapping information platform) and after Katrina hit banks were requiring homeowners to have flood insurance who have never had it before. People would call screaming and yelling about this. And most did exactly what this man did which is to have their homes lifted and fill dirt added and that way they would not be required to carry flood insurance Now look what has happened. Over 80% of people did not have the additional coverage and therefore can not file claims. These people are screwed.

      @BananaBunni3 7 лет назад +2

      It's not a matter of a "bunch of dumbasses". Houston has a booming economy and thrives because of its location close to the water. People move to Houston because of the jobs there. Nobody is saying "oh no, I don't want to live in this apartment complex because it is too close to the bayou" or "oh no this house is too close to the water, we can't buy it". That just doesn't happen. Maybe that will change post Harvey. But there are so many bayous and bodies of water, you can't help but live in close proximity to them. A bayou runs right through the neighborhood I grew up in.

    • @BananaBunni3
      @BananaBunni3 7 лет назад +1

      The levees were at risk of breaching so they decided that it was best to slowly release them before it was too late. Had they broken, the flooding likely would have been even worse (which is probably hard to believe considering how terrible it actually was). The Army Corps of Engineers definitely would not have been able to control the flooding at that point, had the levees broken and even more homes would have been flooded. The Army Corps of Engineers have said that homes should not have been built that close to the reservoirs, yet there are neighborhoods surrounding them. It's all really unfortunate.

NOW it’s November...last week I was served with eviction court Paper work for Nov. 29th. Why??? Because my job stayed closed 6 weeks after Harvey, reopened for a week then closed down for good. Finding a new job has been close to impossible up till a couple weeks ago!
    Why a landlord would evict a single mother (that kept in contact) and her 3 children after a Hurricane?!?! BECAUSE, she said, “there are a lot of needy families without homes right now.”
    AND SO NOW WHAT ABOUT MINE?!?? Not to mention 6 days after Thanksgiving/A few weeks before Christmas?!?! Just wow man.
