6/10: Houston flood

Just wanted to say that I love Image of the Day, it's very neat.

Being from Houston, I know a little bit more about what happened, and I can tell you that the area that was flooded in the pictures, I-10, has flooded a couple times before, but never to that extent. There was no case of bad engineers or anything like that. The flooding that we received was the worst that we have EVER had. Worse than Hurricane Alicia, worse than a pretty bad flood we had I believe in 92 or 94. Places that were not even in a flood plane, and had never considered the notion of being flooded, got flooded. Parts of downtown are still shut down over two weeks later because of it.

It was that bad.
