" During the Gulf Coast hurricanes"
Your relationship to sea
| level is only really important if you're in coastal area,
No I remember 2 floods here in the past 35 years. The one in 1975 washed
away 5 homes that I know of and my sisters home had 4 feet of water in it.
The area at the bottom of my hill is also a flood plain.
which

| a few feet can have an enormous impact even though they're actual
| altitude and their relationship to sea level may be virtually the
| same.
My son lived in Greenville NC and had 8 feet of water in his townhouse from
hurricane Floyd. That means the Tar River 1 mile away rose 30 feet.

Yes that is why I live on the high ground.
