One other tidbit on the news....Houston area has lost/developed half of their wetlands over the past few decades....just like 'Nawlins....those are Mother Nature's way of absorbing events like this, and when they're gone, the damaged is magnified. I would NOT be putting my life at stake based upon historical flood maps, etc. It just ain't worth it.
Some areas may have seen the worst already as water recedes, others might be worse in a few days....this one will be remembered like Katrina
