Bellaire flooded again last night
In case you slept through it last night, it did rain non stop. The City flooded and many cars became stranded in the high water. The bayou came within 5 feet of going over. It was scary to think my house was going to flood again. At 6 am the water was about 3 inches high in my front yard and luckily the water did not reach my front door.
I did think it was odd that the Police went at around 3am to go get a dump truck to get through the high water. I would have hoped that our Emergency Management team would have been prepared and had the dump truck already at the police station for the officers to use if needed. I truly do not understand why there is never any preparation for flooding until the street start to flood. Even with the best drainage in place Newcastle was flooded and it FLOODS almost every time there is a steady down pour.
I do plan to look into why nothing is ever done when it rains until it is flooded.
