    Thx for the video. No mention in comments that Woodlands is a unique, environmentally designed community and the video seems to show that the many various natural drainage systems (ditches, swales, natural collectors all in grass and trees) actually worked. Flooding here looks much less than in other parts of poorly planned Houston. Ian McHary, one of the greatest US Landscape Architects, was behind The Woodlands initial planning and design, sponsored by the oil maganate Mitchell.

    In the U.K in the average year there is around the same rain fall as sunshine, but this year we saw more sun than rain as if the rain was going elsewhere. It seem like the rain was being stored up only to fall on you as hurricane Harvey seemed to drop more water than your average hurricane.

      Instead of Location, Location, Location...Now it's ELEVATION, Elevation, Elevation. I have been preaching about crooked, politically connected, bottom land developers for years. There is a reason the farmers call it bottom land.
      Here in my area many folks have had their slab on grade homes elevated to stay out of street floods as high as 4 feet.
      DO NOT trust real-estate agents, developers, or politicians. Get a topo map before you purchase a property.

    The places I know in The Woodlands that is prone to flooding is around Spring Creek. Grogan's Point entrance, Timberlake/Timberidge (not Woodlands) and Golf Course. I recognize Glen Loch, Lake Woodlands and I believe Branch Crossing in the video. The Woodlands as a whole does not flood. The only hazard in The Woodlands with storms, or hurricanes are wind. I live very close to a bayou when it stops raining or light rain, it drains fast. I've been living there since Kathy Whitmire was first elected mayor of Houston.

      Houston floods like this every 25 years, this storm barely beat the 90s storm, 92 or 94 I forget. It's called the bayou city for a reason. People say the storms are worse but in reality they are the same, look up the great storm of 1900. We have had 4 storms in the past 20 years they called "500 yr floods". Now there are 6 million people in Houston, so each storm becomes more expensive and "destructive". Unfortunately, it will probably happen again in the next 25 years, there will be more Katrina's, more Harvey's, just Google gulf hurricane history. It only goes back 100 years, with out air conditioning there would be no houston
