1. you can go to your county

and hover your mouse over your county and it will tell you which areas have repeated flooding problems. This is at the online dashboard link featured in the story.

I did it for my county and sure enough--all the towns in the northern part of my county that popped up are the ones that I keep seeing in the news. What this map told me that I didn't know before is how much reimbursement took place--in one town almost $40 million. It will tell you for each town. You do have to know some initialisms, such as SRLP and NFIP, for example.

Incredibly interesting data map! Anyone interested in infographics will have an interesting time here.

Now, back to my flooded basement. And I am on high ground, up on a mountain. We even had our basement waterproofed and I still have this issue--that's how bad it was here in this latest storm. I have spent half an hour mopping up water and much more to go.
