Houston generally receives ample rainfall averaging about 49.8 in (1,260 mm) annually based on records between 1981 and 2010 Many parts of the city have a high risk of localized flooding due to flat topography ubiquitous low-permeability clay-silt prairie soils and inadequate infrastructure. During the mid-2010s Greater Houston experienced consecutive major flood events in 2015 ("Memorial Day") 2016 ("Tax Day") and 2017 (Hurricane Harvey). Overall there have been more casualties and property loss from floods in Houston than in any other locality in the United States the majority of rainfall occurs between April and October (the wet season of Southeast Texas) when the moisture from the Gulf of Mexico evaporates extensively over the city.
