[Ginofan]

They haven't actually applied any topology...just superimposed a circle of the proper area centered on downtown.

Your actual flooding may vary...:lol

That's true, though. In the Houston map, they have my parents house outside the "flood zone", but when tropical storm Allison came through a few years ago my dad and I stayed up all night watching the water come to within two inches of our front door. If a real hurricane came through, I can believe that we'd flood before the Heights, which they have flooding.

It shouldnt have been built there in the first place. Either next to the AlamoDome or on the Northside. Stupid voters.

Around here the first places to go will probably be the Olmos basin and the major creek floodplains (Salado, Martinez, etc) Downtown will flood once the basin fills up and the flood control tunnels reach capacity...don't know how much it would take for that to happen.

[HB22inSA]

Not going to happen...

well now that I look out the window.. I know I'll be safe.. but everyone around me is fucked!! AHHHHH! I'll be besieged by looters!!!! :oops

[MannyIsGod]

More than 98. Which is a hell of a lot in a short time. The flood control in San Antonio is damn good.

[SWC Bonfire]

There are too many factors on flooding, including ground permeability, localized rainfall differences, and location of rainfall with respect to the different watersheds of creeks and rivers. When you get further downstream, you also have to factor in oncoming floodwater colliding with localized flooding to create larger problems.

Most of San Antonio is immune to flooding. Here's shot of the 100-year flood plain for downtown and near northside:

yeah san antonio's flood plan involves sending the water down to cuero and victoria you bastards

That highway goes north, too, bitch. :lol

[Vashner]

Didn't we hash over all the flooding history, dams and underground river project recently??

Besides.. we are already sitting on top of a bowl of swiss cheese. There is already more water below us than N.O.

One more time...the SA River does not empty into the Guadalupe. At least, not before it gets to the coast.

Geography. Learn it.

[Vashner]

SA river is feed by springs. In Brackenridge park and San Pedro Springs near SAC college. But those springs are at the foot of the Edwards uplift. A crack in the aquifer so to speak allows the water to shoot out. The uplift also created a flooding situation due to runoff. Which has been fixed with Almos Dam and other projects such as the underwater river from Brack to just south of downtown.

[TheWriter]

Unless Noah II happens, San Antonio is pretty damn safe.

New Orleans isn't happening.

You have the Olmos Dam, you have the huge as underground tunnel downtown.

Our flood plan is top notch.
