That picture is just a few blocks from where I used to live in Houston prior to moving out 2 years ago.
Braeswood, is where the Astrodome was. Used to be the Fluor Houston Bldg., which had the entire basement flooded late 70s/early 80s.
Question: Don't they have historic flooding maps of lowest lying areas, which could have been evacuated?
Seems like the Houston is another dumb ass.......
