I’m surprised people still live in that area. The aftermath of Harvey in 2017 would have been the eye opener. Yet the area sees a massive influx of residents every year [1]

Any area near coast line is going to disappear over the next couple of decades due to climate change.

Houston isn’t particularly near the coast, believe it or not. And the flood control infrastructure has been dramatically improved since Harvey. This occurrence seems to be a failure of the local transmission and distribution monopoly.


I grew up with a Houston mailing address and was less than 5mi from the water.
