<br />Designing the roadways to be lower than ground level might act to divert as much water away from the city, in the event of major flooding. We all remember the movies <i>Grease</i> and <i>Terminator</i>, where there are races in the Los Angeles ones. For the most part, they are dry, but take up a lot of real estate. By designing roadways to be dual purpose, it addresses both issues.

          <div class="post-message">Problem is, Houston, a boom and bust city, has sprawled so much by now, by building on top of land which would have helped soak up a lot of water, and apparently is not big on city planning around all that new growth.
<br />The other problem to add to this as a perfect storm is officials told people they did not have to evacuate, and many long time residents who DID try to evacuate during Hurricane Rita years ago sat in gridlock during the storm, so they were not anxious to do it again.
<br />
<br />the part I don't get is that hurricanes do not develop overnight, there is time to do an orderly evacuation, at least for the most fragile of people who would otherwise suffer.
<br />
<br />Tis true tho that Harvey picked up a lot of power just before hitting....which proves how damn unpredictable they are. 
<br />
<br />I had to suddenly flee my house when a hurricane changed direction at 2 am while we all slept.
<br />Very lucky to have the capability to get out. When I turned on the news and saw it was now heading for me, the water in the yard was just starting to puddle.  Half an hour later, it was at my ankles when I got into the car. Heavy rain, low area..does not take much time.
<br />the wind dropped 8 trees on the house..it was a rental, could not even get into it for 4 days.
<br />
<br />lesson learned..don't mess around wit these things.</div>

          <div class="post-message">The population of the Houston metro area is 6.6 million. You don't really get a solid idea of where a hurricane is coming in until 2-3 days out, max.
<br />
<br />There ain't no such thing as an orderly evacuation for that many people in that time frame.. The only attempt at such an undertaking occurred here during Rita, and as you hinted, it was an absolute failure. Far more people died in the failed evacuation than from the storm itself.
<br />
<br />And hey, just a reminder everybody - the hurricane didn't make landfall here! It came in almost 200 miles down the coast!!</div>
