Why was Baytown up to Velasquez road closed to traffic late yesterday? Due to flooding?

It is more fun criticizing

A feature of MS (Bing) notified this gadget not to pass Baytown up to Velasquez (Villa Road) late

yesterday afternoon.  After a few hours of rains due to typhoons Butchoy or Carina.  

The said road has been added several layers of concrete (about 3 layers?) and yet flood continues.  The residents of Baytown complain of year round inundation..

This post can cite several items for analysis and discussion:

1.  The area being discussed is part of the lake - famous elevation 12.5 mlle which LLDA sets as demarcation for non development.  And yet a road was built, and reclamation extending up to several hundred meters were undertaken;

2.  Despite the posted prohibition, the reclamation continued;

3.  Elevation 12.5 is at the end of Richmond, thus Baytown is beyond the said elevation.   Thus when it rains the lake takes back what its hers, hence the flooding.  

This post presupposes that the flooding the problem at Baytown will persist when it rains.  Only when it rains.  (Or even when it does not rain because water seeks its own level)

More pictures of flooded areas; flood waters not moving

Social and political criticisms

                                    This is just 500 meters from where I live;  no ants here

These are additional pictures of flooded areas.  It will take several months for the flood from Laguna lake to subside.

I watched last night Nat Geo feature on  disaster.  The most devastating and most widespread destruction coming form powerful hydraulic forces is from flood.  Many deaths are attributed to floods too.

           That is why there is too much traffic in Muzon, Baytown is underwater
