The main problem in the modern era with Houston's development was most of the newer building was on areas that were lower lying or on older river runoffs. Guess no one thought to look at 100 year old maps or they did and simply didn't care. Given the development over the past 30-40 years, insofar as it's more of a concrete jungle now, this just channels the water better and faster than before and proper drainage hasn't kept up. There are more flood zones now in those historically prone areas so the development means the 100 year flood happens every 10-20 years. Not even a climate change thing, yet, imo. fwiw.
