Prayers up and following. I'm down the road from you in Cypress. Last 100 year flood we had (the 2nd one of 2016), my street never even showed much puddling during the rain. Somehow though hours after the rain stopped, Telge began seriously flooding north of Little Cypress Creek and that water backed up into my neighborhood. Water got a few feet up my driveway which caused some concern.
I'm only sharing this because of your opening statement regarding over development. I know that even though our neighborhood drains well, they have put so much stupid stuff in downstream that it is now causing problems we never had before.

There are ways to fix it but I'm not sure who does it? City or state? I work all around Houston where they are actually going through and lowering the streets 12-18". I'm assuming they are only able to do this if they have somewhere to fallout or a lift station they are going to. "Raise my taxes I dont care, JUST FIX MY DRAINAGE!" Is my mindset right now. Just wanna sleep like a baby when it rains. Is that too much to ask?
