As I have been watching the piles of ruined furniture, clothing, lamps, wallboard, and all the other parts of a building, being piled up on the curbs in South Texas, I keep thinking of the MOUNTAIN of rubbish that is the result of Harvey. Think of all the BLACK MOLD that will still be embedded in that pile of rubbish as well as all that will remain in the ground and anything else that remains. Not to mention all the poison chemicals that have filled the flood waters and touched everything.

Where will all that *stuff* be moved to???? (light bulb goes off in my head).
With all that ground that is now known to be FLOOD PRONE - all those lots that should never have had a building permit issued - they can use that land to create MOUNT HARVEY. It can be a monument to why you can't cover the ground with buildings, concrete, asphalt, resulting in the loss of natural ground that will absorb a great deal of the flood waters and not create such destruction. It could be a modern day ALAMO in Texas.... another tourist attraction.

Pick one of the many areas that had house after house - buried in water - and just keep stacking all that destroyed material - adding some soil here and there and some grass seed to hold it together somewhat as the layer after layer of appliances, furniture, clothing, food, etc. gets piled up. That *Mount Harvey* could end up a couple miles high and who knows what the bottom circumference would be. Top it with a large replica of an oil well.

Never let a *crisis* go to waste - turn it into a tourist attraction instead.
