RESIDENTS QUESTION OFFICIALS ABOUT RESACA DRAINAGE

Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Sir, just wanted to let you know that these idiots at the city (of Brownsville) are trying to get away with there bullshit narrative to citizens of Brownsville in regards to the resacas always being full when a storm comes in.

Now there's an article and a picture of an empty resaca on the internet which shows clearly that these resacas are very shallow and need to be dredged like they said they would do a couple of years ago.

(Did they? Or were the million spent just for show?)

The resacas were full to the top around the Hanna Early College High School area and the one on Paredes Line Road near the Brandywine Apts.
Within an hour after the rain rain started the resacas stopped draining and over flowed into the whole apartment complex and it was under water.

The resacas at Hanna and behind Rockwell Apartments  and Brandywine apartments are all interconnected.We live in the neighborhood south of Hanna and the hood looked like a lake for several hours after the rain and some people got some water in their homes.

With that article that came out in the local daily, the question arises if there will be no smell if the resaca is drained and I say who gives a shit if it smells? It will dry.

The dredging is needed badly and the lazy idiots at the city department that handles drainage and control of the pumps need to be fired.This not something new. They have known about this for a very long time. Sorry for the rant please STAY ON THEIR ASS ABOUT THIS.

Thank you.

Numerous years ago,the train companies running their trains in brownsville said they that were coming off the tracks because of the rain.
Now same bullshit. Sad reality no one here gives a shit nor will they ever because they keep electing the same clique
Over and over for pan dulce.

What is needed is a town lake reservoir to store and provide storage capacity that is interconnected to drainage.

Total alignment doesn't get it done
Realignment of City Commissions priorities on who can get it done will dermtermine next election.

We were warned about climate change bringing excessive rain and flooding years ago. Now you are seeing it. Happening all over the country with subways flooding and homes being washed away.

Dredging the resacas to make them very deep is probably the only way to quickly store sudden excess rainwater. Otherwise we are in a floodplain, there is no where else for it to go.

Someone start a petition and I bet that every f**cer and his grandma in town will sign it. Make a name for yourself and go make a difference.

It is funny that the city didn’t open the dam that holds the resaca water. Was someone not smart enough to run over and open the flood gates? Not only was the dam damaged, but it also created a flooding problem. Now the city has an opportunity to clean the resacas ad dredge them so they can have more capacity. City of Brownsville engineers to the rescue! Oops I forgot! I am in Brownsville and the engineers “se están rascando la panza” until the next deluge. Of course, they learn from the best, their city leaders.

Stop throwing trash litter bugs! If you notice when it's dry all the drains are covered in trash. Not to mention all the trash littered around the city that eventually with rain flows to the drains and causes even more clog with the trash that was already there. KEEP YOUR CITY CLEAN PEOPLE.

As the saying says... How clean a city is reflects on its people.

What does Brownsville have in common with China? The Shanxi province's average rainfall in October was 13 times that of the same period in a normal year. The Chinese province experienced its worst flooding this month since records began.

At least 1.75 million people have been affected by the flooding, which has caused at least 19,500 houses to collapse and seriously damaged another 18,200 homes, local emergency management official Wang Qirui said at the news conference.

At least 15 people were killed after heavy rain and flooding battered China's northern province of Shanxi, forcing more than 120,000 people to relocate to safer areas.
