<br />Tim and Margaret Compton <br />10901 Dogwood Dr. <br />LaPorte, Texas 77571 <br />(281) 471-8687 <br /> <br />August 6, 2007 <br /> <br />The Bayshore Sun <br /> <br />Are you concerned about flooding in Fairmont Park East? If a one hour down <br />pour goes halfway up the driveway, then what would a two hour rain do? <br />We have lived here for twenty years. The worst rain was Allison. It rained hard <br />for approximately three hours. It was a lake. The water was three feet in our garage and <br />on the front door step. <br />But this year has been a wake up call. Six times already the water has been half <br />way up the driveway. <br />Keep your flood insurance, is all I can say! (Are you sure you have enough <br />contents coverage?) <br />The city cannot fix the problem without a whole lot of money! <br />Sure there are homes higher than ours in this neighborhood. Are you going to turn <br />your back on us and not care? <br />Park your car on the comer and wade in, because without a whole lot of work on <br />the storm drains you will park and wade. <br />People lets get pictures and evidence to prove our homes are in trouble. Mail your <br />flood pictures with dates to the City of LaPorte, 604 W. Fairmont, LaPorte, Tx. 77571, <br />Attention John Joerns. Also, keep personal copies for your records. <br />It is only $100,000 or more to buy a new home! Work most of your life to buy a <br />home 26 foot above sea level. Guess what? The drainage is inadequate and a couple of <br />hours worth of rain could flood your home that you worked so hard to own. <br />We the home owners and taxpayers of LaPorte request a Town Hall Meeting with <br />representatives of the city to discuss the issue. <br /> <br />S 14 Tt1/l I' rp,....
