Will it get worse as water goes downstream? That's bad.

sounds like you think the Mississippi River caused this flooding. the river had nothing to do with it and in fact does NOT drain Louisiana. the smaller rivers and bayous are the states drainage and these are the culprits. they are full and additional rain has no where to go.

same deal here in Houston. it's just a matter of time we get fricked. and the local and state governments are just sitting on their arse and doing zero to prepare. all they are concerned with is highway construction; they don't give a damn about flooding or hurricane evacuation. they are pathetic. here in north Houston they won't even clean out our creeks much less dredge them. the san jacinto river has trees and debris up against bridges they won't even clean out. and they are stupid; they are entertaining the idea of spending millions on an "early warning" system. they are idiots. the national weather service reports give any reasonably intelligent person all the data they need. in short, if the creeks and rivers are full and rain is imminent, get the hell out.
