Hurricane Harvey

[Clueless Morgan]

From the height of the water in the pictures (which seems different on the outside and the inside), I'd say it went over.

If that's the case her protection might have been somewhat effective if there hadn't been 9 feet of water. She still might have gotten water infiltration through the gaps in the bottom but it wouldn't have been as much because the water would have taken longer to seep in between the gaps.

The best option is for city planners to not allow building in flood prone areas. While you're at it, also disallow building in tornado prone areas.
[I can hear the politicians laughing at this suggestion]

Politicians? I'm laughing at that suggestion. You just suggested relocation the population of the entire Midwest and huge portions of the Eastern and southern seaboards. While your at it, why not throw in earthquake zones which encompasses the entire western seaboard, areas prone to bad snow storms which take out the rockies states and all of the most northern states, all states that get hit by Hurricanes and you wipe out the rest of the Eastern seaboard... So where are you suggesting these hundreds of millions of people move? Portugal?

(And before you say yes, think of what 300 million people moving to Portugal would do it.)
