    I was impressed, in that clip the news reporter actually went to the man's aid instead of watching him drown.

    This is what happens when you build stuff where it shouldn't be built. Most of the residential areas around Houston used to be bayou/swampland. You need those areas for FLOOD CONTROL. So you start draining those areas and building houses and strip malls and whatnot, this is what happens. 16 years ago my aunt and my cousins were flooded out of their SECOND STORY apartment when Tropical Storm Allison hit. Then a few years later Hurricane Ike came a calling.:confused:
