When we had 12 inches in a day a few years back, thanks to the excellent civil engineering here, the houses stayed dry. 20”? It’s possible some houses would flood. In many cases, though, before that happened, a number of golf courses would turn into lakes, as they are designed for that. We’ve had water blocking golf cart paths on courses, but never the entire course turned into a lake.
