Houston drainage plan allows for up to 2 inches/hour. Anything over that causes localized street flooding.

As I previously stated. A major Hurricane strike is a disaster waiting to happen. Think about it like this, Houstonians will wait to the very last minute if any to evacuate and prepare if a major was headed this way. Could you imagine the gridlock of tidal flooding shutting down many roads south of the city well in advance of the storm? Now just throw in the fact that the outerbands have also flooded the city roads. DISASTER

The Houston Chronicle has a link to a couple of shockwave animations of the storm surge from a Category 5 storm at their homepage http://www.chron.com
