+1 Have you seen the pictures of Del Ray on NextDoor? Not only the flooding in the streets but the raw sewage gushing up through peoples' toilets and bathtubs. The pictures and videos of it that people have posted are absolutely horrible. Those morons in City Hall need to DO SOMETHING about this problem that they've ignored for years.
The Drain Alexandria Twitter states that the water issues are being worsened by climate change.
Perhaps if Alexandria invests in more bike lanes and gets more cars off of the road, that would be a partial solution to this problem.
Wrong. The DrainALX account clearly and consistently state that in her opinion it’s caused by insufficient infrastructure.

Old infrastructure combined with insufficient capacity, combined with climate change is the problem.
Climate change centered on the Del Ray area?

There was massive flooding in Alexandria. Worst I’ve ever seen in the 20 years I’ve lived there.

And this one is my worst nightmare. https://mobile.twitter.com/DrainALX/status/1426769530060148740
Just awful.
Remember last summer when we got a torrential 3" of rain in like 60 minutes? That seemed incredibly unusual, and I felt so lucky that if we survived that, we could survive most storms. Russ said he calculated 5.25" in Del Ray, and there was still some light showers after his 4:30am post. https://twitter.com/patpend/status/1426826207220359169
Thankfully, we appear to be dry--at least nothing obvious. The benchmark just keeps increasing and increasing. And people still deny that climate change is real? Insane. And yes, overdevelopment is also an issue.
Local areas of heavy rain is weather not climate. On average, the area did not get significant rain.
Previous engineering solutions to drainage was to simply channel to somewhere else. That never worked at scale. More modern solutions focus on capturing the water and holding it for slow release. Permeable asphalt and catch basins are the future solutions that will be slow to implement but better in the long term. Everyone dumping their gutters into the street does not scale.
