Conroe woman's home underwater after flooding

who made a fast buck by allowing residential development in that area in the first place?

Every flooded home should be removed and never rebuilt back in a flood plain

Houston as a whole is a bayou city.

Lost our house in 1994 due to the incompetence of the San Jacinto River Authority… Best thing to do is NOT LIVE IN A FLOOD PLAIN!!!

Can you imagine their property values I mean who is going to want to buy that and inherit that problem where you have zero recourse

houses here should have been made to build on stilts since it’s in flood plain

I'm thinking no one from the San Jacinto water authority owns a house that would be flooded by not pre-releasing some water from the dam.

Don't build in the flood zone

Dont live in a low lying flood zone

Dont live in aflood plane ❤

The san Jacinto River authority needs to be held accountable. The tragic Repetitive Incompetency without accountability

At this point, any southeast Texas house built needs to be on 15 foot stilts like how Galveston homes are built.

Don’t you know that this is a flood location?

Lake Conroe is not dry anymore 😊

I’m from Houston and I live in Boston now, even with all this flooding I would still rather live in Houston.

Flooding usually happens near rivers, especially those in floodplains, DUH

I grew up close to the San Jacinto river as a kid i saw the river bottom flooded more times than i can remember. I knew better then to ever live close to any river bottom because even in 70s,80s the water shed in a major event was way to unpredictable. Been living high and dry north and center of lake Conroe and Livingston dams for 25 yrs. Countless subdivisions have been developed were property was 10’ deep in 94 flood. Amazing how people in kingwood , river plantation, McDade estate etc still can live in that close proximity to the river.

I think these people are going to have to move. No way insurance is going to keep paying claims. Two floods in three months is crazy. The homeowners should take the insurance checks and move.

Was told after Harvey that it was high possibly it was gonna happen..it wont be fix better move or keep going through it every year now on..Facts

Warning: As a native Texan always avoid “buying” and/or “renting” property in close proximity to rivers, bayous, creeks, dams, flood prone areas with poor drainage. In particular, the Southeast Texas region. Save yourself the headache, peace.
