(EDITOR’S NOTE:) Observation last night was stunning to me.

Considering at the very least this latest weather event which lasted only 10 hours would behoove the developer to study thoroughly the conditions under the property on the high and lowest slopes of the former golf course. How can 12 hours of rain cause such a flood?  And what would it do to the foundations of 106 houses planned? 

it is sobering to think that if a Category One hurricane  or tropical storm should swoop through and dump 10 inches or more of rain on  any new 100 home development what that would do to those homes without flooding mitigation efforts undertaken before any homes are built– John Bailey
