I live in South Florida and talk about flooding - believe it or not, we get it all the time down here - when you have bad rain spells or tropical depressions - Developers just build all over and never take care of or take into account DRAINAGE issues. Fortunately, I am on a high pad - with acreage. So good luck with your project. Barbara
