Re: Are all Houston area teams surviving the flooding?

Championships will be in Downtown Houston, which did not flood (though some major roads leading into downtown did). As others have mentioned, this storm and last year's memorial day storm were...not normal. Both cases were around 500-year flood events. And those came just a couple of years after a severe drought.

I'll be honest: flooding IS one of the biggest long-term problems facing the city. But the "more common flooding" you'd experience as a team coming to champs would likely be 1. isolated, 2. contained to the street, and 3. brief.

I do hope all our southeast Texas teams made it through this crazy storm safe and dry.
