On January 6th we posted a review of the No Name Storm that affected Biscayne Park back in October, 2000. This weather event stands as the only example of any storm water flooding experienced in our Village dating back over 40 years.
In scanning the news this morning, I noticed that Houston, TX experienced a somewhat comparable storm event yesterday. Due to the similarities, I thought to post a couple of pictures to illustrate the differences between the two areas. (Please feel free to refer back to the original article posted 1/6/2016 for additional charts and data)
4/18/16: HOUSTON (Reuters) - Torrential rainfall totaling 18 inches (46 cm) pummeled Houston on Monday, causing floods that were believed responsible for five deaths. More than 1,000 homes were flooded in Harris County, which contains Houston, and there were more than 1,000 water rescues as scores of neighborhoods and roads were hit by rushing water.
Fortunately for us,
we didn't have 1000 homes flood nor did we require any water rescues. As the No
Name Storm did claim two lives, no lives were lost here in Biscayne Park. And
for this we should all be thankful. Below is a re-post of one of the pictures
taken on 118 St. and 10th Ave.
Standing Watch,
Milton Hunter-The Biscayne Parker
