NgoLwesibini, ngoFebruwari 16, 2021, phantsi kwecandelo eliphakamileyo le-I-45 kumbindi wedolophu yaseHouston, amapolisa aseHouston uKenneth Big (ophakathi) noAaron Day (embindini ekunene) basasaza iingubo ebantwini njengoko isaqhwithi sasebusika siqhubeka Ukuhlasela le ndawo.
NgoMvulo, ngoFebruwari 15, 2021, ngentwasahlobo, u-Eithan Colindres (ekhohlo) wayenxibe impahla yasebusika emva kokuba indlu yabo yacinywa ngenxa yekhephu ebusuku. Wazama ukufudumala noBrian Colindres, uTamil Colindres, uSofia Morazan noBrihana Colindres. Iqondo lobushushu lehle kakhulu ngoMvulo, likhatshwa likhephu elincinane kunye nemvula eqhaqhazelis’ amazinyo.
Iinkokeli zeSixeko kunye needolophu zathi ngoLwesihlanu ukuba iimvula zasebusika zale veki zibangele amashumi amawaka abahlali bendawo kunye nabanini bamashishini ukuba bagqabhuke okanye babonakalise ngenye indlela imibhobho yamanzi, kwaye umonakalo obangelwa yipropati ungafikelela kumashumi ezigidi zeedola.
I-Ofisi yeNjineli yeNjineli yaseHarris County iqikelela ukuba amakhaya angama-55,000 kwiindawo ezingabandakanyiyo zedolophu anokuthi wonakalise imibhobho. Esi sixeko sanikela ingxelo yokuba sifumene iminxeba emalunga nama-4 900 yenkqubo yama-311, yaye amagosa athi eli nani lisenokuba lincinane xa lithelekiswa nenani labemi abangakhange baxele umonakalo kwiholo yesixeko.
"Eli nani liphezulu, linokuba liphezulu kakhulu," kusho uSodolophu uSylvester Turner, wongezelela ukuba abantu abaninzi-kuquka yena kunye namanye amalungu ebhunga ledolophu-abazange balwe Umthombo wamanzi wavalwa xa ikhwelo lenziwe kurhulumente wesixeko. “Isixeko sethu sisenangxaki ekungekaxelwa, kwaye namanzi asahamba.”
Ngokubuyiswa kombane phantse kubo bonke abahlali, ijaji yedolophu uLina Hidalgo uthe eyona ngxaki inzima isekufikeni kwamanzi nokutya.
“Sikhe sanxibelelana neevenkile ezinkulu zegrosari kwaye bathi ikhonkco lokubonelela liza kufika kule mpelaveki,” utshilo uHidalgo. “Ewe, ingxaki kukurhola. Ke, bendicela abantu ukuba bathenge kuphela le nto bayifunayo kwiintsapho zabo. ”
UTurner uthe esi sixeko siza kusebenzisana norhulumente wengingqi ukusungula ingxowa-mali yokunceda abahlali bajongane neendleko zokulungisa imibhobho kunye nokonakala kwamanzi ezindlini zabo, kodwa iinkcukacha zale ngxowa-mali azikabhengezwa.
Umongameli uJoe Biden uthe isibhengezo sentlekele yomanyano aza kusityikitya sinokukhulula imali yokubuyisela abahlali abachaphazelekayo.

UHaddock uthe ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, uninzi lweminxeba eyi-311 iphuma kwiintsapho kunye nabanini bamashishini abagqabhuke imibhobho kwaye abakwazi ukuwacima amanzi kwaye bafuna uncedo kurhulumente wesixeko. UHaddock uthe ukusukela ngoLwesine ebusuku, bamalunga nama-3,000 abantu abafowunele i-311 ngale nto.
Uthe: “Ndicinga ukuba eli linani eliphantsi kakhulu, kwaye liza kuqhubeka nokunyuka. Abantu abaninzi banokulungisa ngaphandle kokufowunela u-311.”
UHaddock uthe inkqubo yokubonelela ngamanzi kwesi sixeko yomelele kuba uninzi lwemibhobho yaso iphantsi komhlaba. Ngokutsho kukaHaddock, inkqubo iye yafumana amakhulu okucinywa.
UTurner uthe ezinye iindawo ezivuzayo kwizakhiwo ezishiyiweyo okanye ezingahlali bantu zikhupha amanzi amaninzi. Kule veki, lo mboniso waboniswa kwindlu yedolophu yaseMontrose kufutshane ne-Vaughan kunye ne-Commonwealth.

“Ibaleke malunga nosuku,” utshilo u-Osborne. "Akakabuyi ekhaya, ihlwempu alikazi."
Ukusilela kwezixhobo kunye nokuvuza okuxhaphakileyo kubangele ukuba uxinzelelo lwamanzi lwehle esixekweni, kwaye amawaka-waka amakhaya awakwazanga ukufumana amanzi empompini kule veki. UHaddock uthe uxinzelelo luyakhula, nangona isixeko siza kuhlala sibila kude kube ngeCawe ubuncinci.
Uxinzelelo esixekweni lungaphantsi koxinzelelo oluncinci lweepounds ezingama-20 nge-intshi yesikwere, okwenza ukuba urhulumente welizwe akhuphe isilumkiso esibilisayo ngenxa yongcoliseko olunokwenzeka. Ngaphandle koxinzelelo oluthile oluphantsi, umyinge wesixeko wonke unyuke waya kwi-32 ukuya kwi-34 PSI ngoLwesihlanu. Phambi kokuba isixeko siphakamise ukubonisana okubilayo, urhulumente ufuna i-35 PSI kwaye ulinde iziphumo zovavanyo lwesampulu yamanzi.
IBhunga lesiXeko livote ngamxhelo-mnye ngolwesiHlanu ukwandisa ingxelo yentlekele yaseHouston ngeentsuku ezingama-30. IHarris County yandise ingxelo yayo enye iveki.
