"The operational guidelines for Lake Conroe take many factors into consideration and are designed to protect the dam itself and to ensure that the peak rate of flow released from the dam is LOWER than the peak flow coming into the lake. By allowing Lake Conroe's level to rise during the event, the peak flow going down the river is reduced. So even though Lake Conroe was not designed for flood control, the Lake Conroe dam has significantly reduced downstream flooding for every major storm in the watershed since it was constructed in 1973.

A simple google search found your answer. Conspiracy? No. Looks like a combination of one if not the most catastrophic flooding event in the USA and bad decisions led to the dam to be so full.

Most of the people in Kingwood do not have flood insurance and sooner or later are going to start asking some questions.

OK, I'll ask.
What was the motive? The COH just really regrets annexing them against their will two decades ago and just wants to piss them off more?
Who wins in this scenario? The powerful mold remediation lobby? Mexican day laborers?

Just sayin.....flood insurance runs around $500 a year.
Most people spend that much at Starbucks.

If you truly can't afford flood insurance, you can't afford your home.
If you choose not to buy it because you "have never flooded", well, that's on you.
Not finding your opening statement very believable at this point...Bag said:
First off, I am not a conspiracy theorist. I am not prone to hyperbole and I am usually pretty level headed.

The lake was drained before Harvey, I have pictures to prove it
