I think the title to this thread is unfairly upsetting. Nearly all of Florida is very close to sea level and "they" have placed "flood plains" and other plans to handle most of the problems. The Villages showed how well during Hurricane Irma three years ago when we received what would have been harsh flooding to homes, but it was diverted by their pumping the ponds down, sending the water to the common areas and pumping the run off onto their own golf courses in order to spare people's homes. The only generalized area that I saw flooded was in the historic part. It seems as they build areas they take into consideration the possibility of flood and regrade first.
