Flooding

 Hi Everyone,

  I hope all is well! I came across an article in the Sun Sentinel about flooding in Ft Lauderdale and the issues with our seawalls. I have put some of the article here for you to read. Please understand that just because your property is not in a mandated flood zone does NOT mean you will be safe from flooding.

 
Every sea wall in the city will have to be raised at least eight inches under a proposed plan to protect waterfront communities from rising seas.
There are almost 200 miles of sea walls fortifying this Venice of America, but city officials fear they aren't high enough to hold back sea levels that some warn could be as much as two feet higher by 2060.
