Our pond during the tropical storm in September 2017, rose 13 feet, came close roads and houses. Sprinklers were running days ahead 24/7. Pond water can be moved to larger ponds, as needed.
Golf courses became small lakes, some tunnels were underwater.

But no houses ended up with pond water. We had ducks swimming, by our house, a very confused gator who ended up in the road, along with 9 large trees fall into the pond. Every house stayed dry. This will be the third time for us since 2007, that pond control has been t its best.

Trying to predict what may or may not happen is a crap shoot. It’s just easier to wait and see. Water past the tree is the reason sprinklers in common areas have been running 24/7. If this is your first major rainfall, get some dvds to watch, every station will be non stop weather, over and over and over.

Correct, bottom line is somewhere between 25-30 in of rain, streets could start to flood.

Once you go with a bidet, you will never go back without. Jus sayin.

I don't worry so much about mother nature, as much as I am concerned over human nature. Been through hurricanes, typhoons and earthquakes, and so far we have never found the need to evacuate. Worst it ever got, blew two shingles off our roof. The roof was getting old anyway. ZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz

Have alway been told TV is second best place to weather out a hurricane.
First place is Disney hotels built to withstand Cat 4-5. Capable of feeding and housing thousands of people, usually give a great discount to those who need safe shelter.
Staff will stay and bring their families so no extra worry for them. Have been there twice during storms, no parks open but worth staying in place
