The problem is, over the years the people running the city and county have only been worried about filling their pockets, rather than doing upgrades. just keep letting people move to Florida without understanding the impact of it.
@@sarahann530by not allowing over development, restricting the type of development and city planning that allows for drainage, the water needs somewhere to go and concrete and asphalt don’t absorb water they shed it
When people say and assume that "It never floods here", they need to rethink that statement and position. The topography and severe weather are a mix that doesn't jive with that NEVER thought pattern.
An area that never floods but also an area that has not had nearly 14 inches of rainfall in a relatively short time. I agree that in an extreme weather event, what "never floods" might become something that floods. Hopefully they can find out if having working pump stations would have made a difference and get that corrected at least.
Its called lack of foresight, coupled with council greed, lack of regulation and drainage. I am sorry this is happening to you. There is more rain on the way. Direct your anger to the city planners and those that sold you the permits.
Exactly right! All these new home developments used to absorb so much rain. They put in new developments high up so now all the water goes to other places. Greed.
I worked as Disaster Volunteer for over 29 years and for years we plead with those living on coasts and those writing laws and selling these low lying flood prone areas that we needed to make changes and encourage those on coast to Move inland, instead we grant people building permits in areas that flood over and over and over each big storm of Flood. In St Pete how many times has Shore Acres been nothing more then a water park after Huge rains or Storms. How many times do we rebuild in same place and watch it repeat, Not to mention we as the Insured are subsidizing the Property of Super RIch that feel if you have enough Money and Position you should be able to build anywhere you wish, no matter how many times it has to be rebuilt with tax payer insurance dollars
There is an abundance of stupidity in this country. The world is logical but humans aren't. The world is often predictable too but we are blinded by greed, selfishness and thinking that just because we inhabit and colonize a region we can control or combat mother nature.

Development. They put in new developments and whoever does the oversight of drainage and stuff just don't do their jobs or Plan the areas to flood so they can later buy up the land cheap and then correct the problem.
A lot of the homes I saw in the video, may have been built before the new building elevations were introduced in the 1990's. In Sarasota county, most residential buildings are at least three feet above street level, if they were built after 1993.
Gee, I wonder why low brain cells are active in the comments? Have you ever heard of Hurricane Katrina, and the diversion of flood waters to the poorer areas? Tell me you can read?
That’s not true that area do flood all the time born here raised here in Tampa and you noticed it said the water normally comes up to the sidewalk. That’s not even normal.
Youre dumb man. Thats not true. you wont “be underwater” if you’re building on high ground , LIVING ON high ground, the water slopes downwards. I got flooded, the building next door did not. It was the main public library. No flood there, the cars in the parking lot just fine. Adjacent to it, our apartment building? Flooded on the first floor. No, not the second floor. We were never “underwater”. Stop the insane lies.
That's just simply not true lol. I'm within 50 miles of this area, and got even more rain during MIlton than they did, and I saw zero flooding near me.

There ought to be a list of people who work for the City to call without forming an investigative council that will no doubt cost more money somehow to find the answers people are looking for. And why not have an engineer look at all the generators with a RCA and estimate of the cost before moving forward with $1,000,000 for 3 generators? Seems like a lot of confusion and waste of money. Meanwhile the citizens that actually pay for everything get cigarette apartments and abusive property owners amidst a severe lack of quality and affordable housing. While the People sit parked at miserly traffic lights for hours a day burning fossil fuels when a modern traffic system would spare us the pain of it.
Good idea but why would people at city hall be able to design storm water systems? The cost of the flooding will be way over 1 million and much of it paid by tax payers. Sounds like a good investment.
No conspiracy here -- things just work until they don't. Also: 1.) "Never" doesn't mean "can't" and/or "won't ever," especially if 2.) you count on an electrically-driven pump to keep water out because you 3.) knowingly live in a place that is at sea level or close to it.
This happened to me. Although there are some retention ponds in the neighboring blocks. It is a very specific combination of 1-in-1000 year event disastrous rainfall, small depression in the land, retention pond flooding and turning off the sewer. Still we only got about 13 or 14 inches. But not us. Why would I live on the first floor?
Flood zones expected to be flooded got nothing yet non flood zones unexpectedly get flooded. It would be helpful to have the “experts” who do these predictions to speak publicly to offer some guidance. Clearly there are some opportunities for improvement here.
This is what happens when growth outpaces infrastructure upgrades. My area in land o lakes flooded worse than it has in 40 years. They just started a new 1000 house neighborhood across from us. Coincidence?
It did happen before I lived in Cinnamon Cove in 2004. It flooded then too and they had to evacuate the Nursing home on 17th street then too. It is the Retention Ponds behind the University Mall. There was another Hurricane that flooded this in between 2004 and Hurricane Irma. I have lived in this area since 2001. So I know. I was an evacuee in 2004.

You have to go back to 1851 to find the last hurricane that took the same path across the gulf and Florida as Milton took. It was historical hurricane . D’uh!
When it comes to people's homes and livelihood, your ignorance is not helpful. This idea that FL is all swamp is exactly the kind of ignorance that would spew from the mouth of someone who gets everything they "know" from social media and TV. Florida is mostly forested land. It's top 20 in the country for the percentage of land covered with forestry. Most of the water issues that FL residents are dealing with is because of poor water management by local gov'ts, which happens all over the country, regardless of whether it is a swamp or not. You need to find something better to do than be an annoying little a$$hole in the comments section of videos like this. Dorothy0422, thebeermaker2102, and ykyielding9556, that goes for you too.
The councilman might look into the mitigation efforts done years ago and implemented by commission White..he might also may look into the drainage situation at the recently built health center at Nebraska and 124th..I can say this..I know the particulars and history of that area of storm water problems
The problem is the city people are in the right cj people's pockets and approve Everything. Look at ALL the apartments, car washes, and storage places built every 3 miles. I have been here most of my life and the non stop building is so 😢😢. Animals have no habitat any longer.
Not enough drainage systems and I bet the ones they have are old, not sized right and they are full of trash and land waste. Storm drains need service quite often to avoid backups
In my opinion are they letting out the pressure on the dams ? Like was intimated after Ian when instead of warning people they released the dams into Arcadia? Just my opinion…….
YA THINK there should be an investigation? Good luck starting one: neither the city nor the county care two pins for that area, filled with a lot of low-income residents. And even if the mayor gets funding for her investigation, I doubt that anything will be done on its recommendations in that neighborhood. Meanwhile, year after year, hurricane after hurricane, floods where "we've never seen anything like this."
🙋🏿 WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, ITS HAS BEEN LIKE THAT FOR YEARS OVER 30TH YEARS, WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME THAT YOU SEEN A JET VOC TRUCK CLEANING OUT THE DRAINS.
Back in 2011, the northern part of my blue state lost power for about a week due to a freak snow storm on Halloween that "we never saw before." The heavy wet snow brought down a boatload of trees because their leaves hadn't fallen yet.
“Blue state?” Lol, scared to name your state. Wow. Why even comment then? Go into detail about everything else, but the state name is sacred? Y’all funny
When your storm drains get clogged by storm #1 and you get #2 and #3 soon afterward it’s all down hill from there and now they can blame it on cLiMaTe cHaNgE

It floods when the water volume exceeds the ground’s absorption and the sewers systems ability to drain the column of water needed to keep the land dry. Florida also sits on limestone sponge of porous rock so the water in the ground will rise with the water volume. This is only going to get worse as the ocean 🌊 gets more water from melting Arctic’s 🧊, thus result of global warming!😢😮😊

If there's a pump station you might flood... Tell people if they live down stream.
Sewerage lines need to have values to prevent “reverse flooding “ when water overwhelms the gravity systems
Why are there pumps if it's not a flood zone?
Funny the pump went out in carrolwood too
whats to investage?
most of the state is about sea level. a hurricane came through and dropped a ton of water per acre.
The investigation will be on your IQ next
And is built on a swamp
In the video it says that the pump stations either failed or didn’t have a backup generator.
Well Mark. I believe it is because it rained a little bit.
Need to find out why and how to fix
13 inches of rain and cover everything with black top that is why it flooded.
Ask for the maintenance records and SOP and time cards for the people in charge of the pumps
A flood can happen anywhere it wants. Water is force of nature.
