The Amite River drains most of the areas the most affected. It is like a funnel you can pour as much in as you want but only so much can get out. It was a
tremendous amount of rain.

Now infrastructure is lacking as well as planing with all the new growth. There may have been a flood deevision project for the Comite River that may have helped some areas that was never done.

We also have some of the most useless politicians in the country. That never helps the situation
