In 2011, we had enough warning time for the flood, and the area affected, while very long, was quite narrow. Folks had time to load up all their stuff and 'head for the hills'. My farm is high enough we had folks farther out on the Missouri bottoms store farm equipment here. A friend of ours was going to bring his camper here if water threatened his location, and I had a full camper hook up ready (electricity, sewer and water) but fortunately he was fine where he was.
In Houston, where's the nearby high ground? Where's the nearby areas not under water or threatening to flood? Where's the nearby areas able to absorb large numbers of folks displaced by the water? And they didn't have the lead time we did either.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
