Yes thanks for asking
I am north of Tampa nw of Orlando and got socked by rain real bad BUT the good thing is i live in the highest points in the state. here in clermont there are (small) but hills. i have a difference in grade level of 8 feet from middle of my lot and lots on one side is higher and other side is lower. behind me is a water retenchen area and threw all the storms and rain in 12 years it has NEVER had more the 2 INCHES in it.there is a 20 foot difference in elevation between my lot and bottom of the area. and i have lakes all around up here and they are 40 feet elevation difference between where i am and about 1/2 mile to the lake. I looked at flood plane and elevation maps when i get insurance for my house. they told me i need to get flood insurance and i said LADY if my lot and house flood we will need an ARK there will be nothing left of Florida..LOL a few low spots in the yard had standing or rushing water but i had no water damage and just a little branch damage ....now my plants are a another story some loved it and some revolted and are playing dead....


i keep talking about how over grown my back yard is and its a jungle out there look at this picture. we all know the size of garbage can you can get at home improvement stores use that as a gauge for my yard to one side of my back yard.
