Thanks for all of the information, Jeff. It sounds like this is one of those things that's expected, but then comes around and is on the extreme end and surprises everyone like the big hurricane and/or flooding events around the Gulf of Mexico and East Coast.

Houston has a similar issue, where we are expected to flood, but developers have come in and according to the articles that I've seen built tens of thousands of residences in the flood plains. So then you've got homes and roads covering the flood plains, and because of all of the paved over ground, there's no place for the water to go other than up.

Yesterday, I saw a video of a home floating down a river. I've seen photos of washed out roads. I have been surprised by how little media I've seen on it, almost like a non-issue.
