If Houston gets 50 inches of rain we're talking about a historic event we'll tell our grandchildren about. All it takes is a good 10-15 inches in a day to shut the city down. Remember the terrible flooding last June? That was just around 20 inches.

At 50 inches the med center will be fricking underwater. With less than half that last year it was flooded up to the platforms on the rail.

I think the 50 deal was one spot in the Houston area in just one forecast. I'm not seeing that forecast repeated now. I think it was a glitch in the algorithm. I'm seeing 20 repeated pretty regularly though. I was in Houston last Memorial Day for the Great Flood and I think that one was 20 in areas. Pretty shitty deal. It'll definitely repeat-flood a bunch of houses, which makes me sick for those people since some of them have lived there for 40 years in a house that wasn't flood prone until 5 years or so ago. That blows.
