Wishes from Charlotte County, I hope that you are free of hurricanes this year. Last year was the first time I ever had any flooding (1000 ft from Peace River) but fortunately it was just over the first step of my house. Did take out the central air and a washing machine. Scary though to see any such when you are stuck home in the middle of a major hurricane. Feet of it would be absolutely terrifying when you are stuck home in the middle of a major hurricane.
I can't imagine living thru 4 straight years of flooding /storm surge. These folks are resilient! I sincerely hope 12 feet high is sufficient. The seawall in Galveston about 80 miles south of me is 17. A "Katrina-like" storm would top that, the storm surge finishing off what the wind didn't.
The Trump slashes at NOAA, NWS, FEMA will make these events so much more dangerous and recovery that much harder.
