John,  what is your point.  50 inches of rain fall on Houston, a national record I believe for a single storm. Of course the media is going to be all over it.  And of course  the infrastructure cant handle it.  It is a one in 1000 year storm !!  Give engineers all the money in the world and they would not design for that.   In times like this the people involved need hope.  They want to see the good news stories - the heroes and the rescues.  Takes us away from the realities of devastated lives, lost homes, huge messes to clean up, and big increases in insurance bills. 

But John would rather have a bunch of earnest second guessers on the air, telling us how we should have planned better and that it is all our fault because we the SUVs we drive cause climate change.  No thanks.
