There was a long article in the Boston Globe about the 2010 rainstorm that caused lots of flooding . 37, 000 people were able to file claims because the president declared it a disaster all these people were not in a flood zone , it goes on that many lived near wetlands some that had actually been filled in , or small streams or even just low elevation , 97% of claims were outside flood zones it goes on to say nothing much has changed , I’ve had flood insurance sometimes but not now , but every time I see one of these massive rainstorms I think about it . I have also seen how good the flood control in villages is , after that hurricane a few years ago dropped all that rain ,I came out on lanai in morning and it looked like I was lake side ,my gold course was filled with water all the way to the far street , the villas were set about 4 ft above course it was great view for a couple of days .
