[quote=Anonymous]You will get severe flooding in a numerous parts of the DMV area but it's not the catastrophic type of flooding that wipes out infrastructure like W NC for the simple reason that we don't have mountains surrounding us :) There is flooding caused because overflow rivers/dams rise and water comes into your home. It will take away cars, a lot of stuff and ruin all your things. And then there is living by mountains when, during a hurricane/really bad storms, you get water coming down elevation with a force that is destructive. That water is not just water rising, it's water flowing with pressure that can knock down things. The mountains also lends itself to bringing down more moisture in a storm. So 1+1+ living by rivers/dams/lake that will over flow = destruction of W NC mountain towns. DMV would have a lot of problems with rains that severe for sure but we would still have a town called Fairfax :)[/quote]
