Would not everyone prefer to have such information?

Simple? I suspect those number would vary by pond and by street. What may flood your street won't necessarily flood one across the street and your street might impact the one across the street. Your pond may hold x number of gallons and the one across the street y number of gallons and they could be interconnected so one impacts the other....and two hours later that could all change. How nice life would be if 1 + 1= 2 in every situation but life isn't like that. Most is speculation and the more we pressure for specifics the more we get speculation. Accept that and your life might be less stressful.
