How is the flooding in FLA? Do the houses and restaurants get wet carpets quite often?
You are right about the distance above sea level....actually I think you are a little on the high side. Flooding occurs, but usually only in low/recessed areas. So most people will be ok, but those who live in slight valley type areas get all the water flowing down to them.
Although, in many places, its not uncommon after a massive rain (which is quite common) to see a few feet of standing water in the road in some areas. It usually dissipates within a day or two though (assuming more rain doesn't come).
