This is a customers house, it is a remodeled early 1900's home, I had to do elevations on it for him for the county, he is about 40' above seal level right on the river.
View from his front yard. I have to send him an email now I noted he had a camera on the front if his house he is probably wonder WTF I was doing.
This is a road that runs along the river (lagoon actually) it is about 30' above sea level.
I have a buddy in OBS all the way up by Kitty Hawk, he lost power at 11am and said its not to bad there.

Jim, 100 feet of elevation is still pretty much flat.
We do aerial photography for anyone with money. We were working on a project in Florida for a client based in Denver. We were just the flying service, and they were dealing with a surveyor to put down aerial targets for us. We had a conference call and the surveyor mentioned the highest elevation on the survey area was 12 feet. The Denver folks are used to working in elevations in thousands of feet. The Denver group all chuckled at a high elevation of 12 feet.
So yea, Florida has some hills and a high elevation 345 feet. Pretty dang flat.
Oklahoma has the world's tallest hill, Cavanal Mountain 1,999 feet. We have some actual mountains as well. No ocean views however.
