A few months ago Fort Lauderdale was flooded by a storm - not even a hurricane and on today’s news it looks like West Point was badly flooded!!

The drainage system in TV is excellent and carries much of the torrential rains away. Also, on my road our driveways are sloped towards the road to take water to the drains. My home is on a golf course and we have a long retention type drain behind all our homes. I have watched it fill almost to the top and it has never yet flooded out. However, the ground water in my back yard will take days to dry out.
