Well I hope that you can avoid any flooding. I have been reading posts on other sites by people that have property in some of the flooded areas and it is really a mess. One thing I have never really understood was the Army COE building dirt levees and letting developers build homes on flood plains. Sooner or later, that dirt is going to become water soaked and give way. Where I am I don't have to worry about flooding, but fire is a real threat. About 5 years ago the fires came within 3/4ths of a mile of my house on three sides. Now the brush and dead trees left from those fires is worse than it has ever been. That is why this year they have been calling out the forestry bombers just for house fires. I have never seen that done before in all the years I have lived here. They just feel they can't take a chance on letting any fire get into the trees right now.
