Yeah, Death Valley got hit by a 1,000 year flood,
1,000-Year Storm, Flash Flooding in Death Valley Prompt Closure of Scotty’s Castle | KTLA
Nothing to complain about though, we just need to learn how to control mother nature better.
Wow
We know a little bit about flooding in Houston :)
Ours happens usually every year not every thousand
Still wicked to see the devastation left behind thoughthen
We are used to flood conditions here but not normally due to rainfall the local river Usk and the Severn Estuary has a tidal range of up to approx 15 Metres (47˝ Feet) between Low and High Tide. When you add the variation to the basic river level due to rain and the occasional onshore wind causing a surge this can cause "issues"
I used to work for a company based near to the river and the basement storage area had a white line painted around the wall about a metre ( 3˝ Ft), from the floor, this marked the normal flood level in the winter and was the lowest shelf height you could use
I heard there's a new regulation
If there's more than 60% damages = I suppose of the properties value :/
The house must be raised 3 foot
Mayerland area floods continuously a long with may other areas but these are not cheap houses and are very close to Brays bayou.
The Holy Grail 'neath
ancient Roslin waits
The blade and chalice
guarding o'er her gates
Adorned in masters'
loving art, she lies
She rests at last
beneath the starry skies

I buy new radio for my car, because the old Kenwood has stopped reading cd's. It's JVC KD R461 with usb, cd, aux connections. Buy it for 60 euros. Pictire
