[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't think a storm drain 100ft away and a dried up stream 600 feet away is all that unusual for the less densely populated areas of MoCo. But the point is, this model predicts there is a 20% chance this year that half my land will flood when it has never happened in recorded history, so color me skeptical. I know everyone is worried about climate change but this seems like hysteria.

Anyways I found this neat elevator map for anyone interested. Really helpful to just point somewhere on a map and it gives the elevation.

With the EPA potentially ending its ability to fight climate change and the horror we collectively witnessed in Texas recently I would really encourage you to do what you can now to understand your risk and protect your assets and your family. Vermont experienced horrible flooding a few years ago and it was totally unprecedented.

IMO there are more levers to pull to prevent fire from reaching your house than flood when it comes to things like removing vegetation, using certain building materials, removing kindling and leaves from the neighborhood  landscape regularly, and even installing more fire hydrants.

I would strongly suggest flood insurance. It looks like the federal government (FEMA) will do significantly less in the coming years and states can only do so much.
