I'm assuming at ground level. I'm in an apartment 50 feet up.

I just checked several places near where I live. My address would be under 5'.

There is a lot of open space around my small 'city.' grass, fields, etc..

But another place that I KNOW is a good 30-40' higher would be under 7'.

And another address that has to be 100' higher than I am would be under 2'. And that is at the top of a hill so everything would drain down.

Am I missing something?

Half of the town that I live in is under water. If the Colorado River rises another two feet then there would be water standing in the parking lot of my apartment complex.

The map said my place would be under 10.8 ft of water. No way- I live in a condo on a hill. We have never had any type of flooding in this area during a hurricane. #BS

I still see the devastation that caused out on our trails. I can't even fathom Houston.

I read that if you took the water dumped by Harvey (& this was a few days ago!) & spread it over the lower 48, it would it would cover everything to the height of three pennies.

Maine river valleys are rather steep and not too many homes and businesses would be affected.

But steep terrain would result in local flash flooding that would take out roads and bridges.

A lot of people would be high and dry - but very isolated for a long time.

Evidently, I live in a depression.

It would devastate most of the state ESP my area

and that's why I live on hill on a foothill in the Sierra Nevada mountains.

It says I'd be in 4 ft of water. Now, I probably actually DID get that much rain, based on the weather reports. But thankfully I had almost a full 12 hours with no rain for my town's flood pumps to work between deluge #1 and deluge #2. Otherwise, yeah, I'd have been floating down the street.

The water got to my front stoop twice, but I was very lucky that it stopped there.

Put in my address, we live on a slight hill and all around us is steeper than that running down into a river it says I would have 12 fee of water at my place. In order to do that the water would have to be about 75 feet deep over several square miles of ground..About 27 actually
