Some perspective.....

Houston has two major interstates, 45 and 10. The 45 comes in from the North, out of Dallas. I-10, runs east and west through the middle town.

The west leg of I-10 runs due west. This is where some flooding is taking place, or at least it looks like that to me. Is this correct?

About the perspective.... About twenty years ago I-10 needed expanding. So the Texas Highway dept. tried something new: Instead of giving the ten mile contract to one company they gave one mile to ten companies. The theory was that the job would be finished sooner if all the companies could link up.

It was a great success. The highway is a pleasure to drive on except for during rush hour.

One thing the various companies worked together on was storm water drainage. Everyone knew with all the excess road there would be excess runoff. Houston floods as it is. Everyone knows where and those roads are avoided during rainstorms.

But I-10 was different. It was built to withstand the 100 year flood thing.

And it has always worked before. But if the west leg of I-10 is flooding.... Then it is bad. Like, real bad.
