Reduce Flooding — Mon, 28 Feb 2022 21:00:53 +0000

Since development of the Laurel Springs RV Resort started last October, the Centerpoint easement below the development has turned into a small lake. It’s not clear at this point what caused the lake to develop. Several theories come time mind: increased runoff; sediment blocking drains; heavy January rains; poorly drained soils; illegal discharges; or some […]

How Soon We Forget!

Reduce Flooding — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 00:55:30 +0000

How soon we forget. Hurricane Harvey was just 4.5 years ago. Since then I have documented dozens, if not hundreds of questionable practices that erode margins of flood safety.

Reduce Flooding — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 22:11:34 +0000

One thing became immediately clear after reviewing aerial photos of the Kingwood area’s first RV resort last Monday. The heavy rains created a mud pit. After removing every tree and blade of grass on these 20 acres, the owners of this project will have to pave over virtually the entire site to make it useable. […]

RV Park Being Built in Luce Bayou Floodway, Floodplain

Reduce Flooding — Sat, 27 Feb 2021 01:53:17 +0000

An angry Houstonian wrote me earlier this week about a new RV park. It lies mostly in the floodway of Luce Bayou next to Huffman/Cleveland Road – near rotting shells of abandoned homes, repeatedly flooded. This is inside the City of Houston.
