This Houston suburb declared the No. 1 place in Texas to retire (Conroe: crime, neighborhood)

We’re going in circles. Let’s please just move on from this. It takes a lot to fill the Barker reservoir, Harvey was the first time in history that it happened.

I don’t understand cBach’s motives.

Harvey is the only storm that ever flooded those neighborhoods and Houston has never seen another storm like Harvey in its history. Both the storms you mentioned, dropped less than half the amount of rainfall as Harvey.

Seems the DeNial River is overflowing here.

I'm trying to save other people from getting flooded, especially senior citizens which might based their decision on this thread...

This is only part of the story. There was only a portion of Cinco Ranch that flooded. It wasn't ALL of Cinco Ranch. Cinco Ranch is almost like a city within itself because it is comprised of so many individual neighborhoods spread over several miles that make up Cinco Ranch. The flooding that happened in Cinco Ranch and Grand Lakes was bad, but there were also several neighborhoods and homes under the 'Cinco Ranch' name that did not flood and did not even come close to flooding.

There are many parts of the Houston area where parts flooded and other parts did not. Anyone buying anywhere needs to do their own due diligence.

If you are a senior citizen, are you going to be driving in the worst of the traffic? The traffic isn't too bad if you avoid rush hour. You wouldn't need to go into downtown Houston for the most part. There is a lot to offer that is local.

It's obvious that those that compiled the information the OP's list is based on, reviewed all pertinent information, and either decided flooding wasn't an issue, or that other factors more than compensated for whatever flooding risk may be assumed by seniors when they move into these areas.

Florida has long been a retirement Mecca and they have flooding issues as well as even greater Hurricane issues as the Houston area , yet is still considered one of the best retirement destinations in the world as well as the US.

Are you crashing the Florida and Louisiana forums warning of flooding and tropical storm risk in those regions ?

So would you say that any of what I said wasn’t true? It was all facts.

You might want to go and start campaigning for drainage improvements for Houston rather than complain on a forum.

Actually I'm a regular poster on the Louisiana forums, go check it out.

I advise people on flooding by city and neighborhood all the time. But it's obvious you did this to make a wise crack at me instead of to research.

As far as Florida, Florida has building codes that are far better than Texas. For instance, south of Orlando all homes are cement block homes. Also, in low lying areas they are forced to elevate. I mentioned this on threads many times, but maybe you didn't see. I advise you to check my previous posts.

Okay, back to the thread.

Your profile is restricted and I'm not going to sort through thousands of your post to pick fly s$%t out of black pepper. If you would like to provide links to specific post I will take those into account.


Fact is the OP's list was compiled after all these events you site took place and Katy was still recommended as the best place in Texas to retire. If you think there are better places in Texas to retire fine, but all you have done is attack Katy without any comparative analysis.
