Flooding

Today in human geo class we finished taking notes on situation. We talked about how you can compare two places like Mississippi and Florida to help someone understand a place better. We talked about how many people know and have been to Florida and few to Mississippi. Since they have FL has the same weather you can describe Florida and it is similar to MS so people will get an idea. We also talked about the hurricanes and the effects on different places. Houston is one of the busiest cities so when the hurricane hit, the flooding happened quicker than in other places because of poor drainage. Houston, New York, Chicago, LA, and other busy cities are like this since its so busy and all concrete. Unlike the busy cities, suburbs and less crowded places will not drain because there is less people and more areas in which to drain rain water. We also talked about how common flooding is in Houston that they don't offer flood insurance so people will have to pay thousands of dollars. This could result in others paying for tax money to help out, personally I don't see a problem with that, but that just my opinion.
