Thanks. My neighborhood is protected by a levy so it’s kind of a NOLA situation where flooding is probably all or nothing. However from what I’ve been reading, the levies are no longer able to contain a potentially historic flood due to climate change, and with this severe El Niño it seems much more likely to occur this year than a normal one.
If it’s anything like where I lived, they might also just sacrifice your neighborhood by letting it flood to protect a much bigger one downstream (the little neighborhood known as “the greater Paris Area” in my case)
