AMEN brother. And also be sure you aren't in a potential flood zone. Don't take "it's never flooded here before" as an answer. There are ways to find out. Everyone chases the 100 year event. There is a 1000 year event as well. And it doesn't HAPPEN every 1000 years.......
Stay high and dry. Stay away from the tertiary flood plain.
