 What would Harvey's deluge be like in your neighborhood
Interesting interactive tool...scroll down to where you can input your zip code or town name on the interactive tool

Tough call....
To general...I live on top of a hill but have a house above me. If it slides down it would mean I would also slide down and probably change zip codes.... but everywhere there are high spots and low spots... I do remember living in Florida three times and getting hammered in all three areas...Central, Gulf coast and the east coast...

Gives an idea maybe, but I don't think it's all that accurate. It shows places that are about fifty feet difference in elevation but only a couple of feet difference in water coverage. Water won't sit on top of a hill like a blob of Jello!

I tried the app and it showed zero. I have mountains on one side, and live on a hill about 100 ft. above the property below. Its going to run across my property, but I don't think I would get flooded out.

While this is true, it takes time to move down hill. There are many areas of Houston that are at higher elevations and got feet of water in them when lower elevations with better drainage did not. When you are talking miles, it takes days to move, not minutes and certainly not as fast as the storm can deliver it.

The areas I'm referring to are rapid elevation changes, hence my comment about water sitting like a blob of Jello on a hill. I live on the top of a ridge with a good size holler on each side. If we had water like the map claims, I can assure you that we would have an excellent chance of seeing a boatload of animals floating by as well! . Drainage in this area is very rapid towards the Illinois River and that is close to 100 feet lower. Might get some water in the basement but not in the upstairs area.

Well, the house I live in at the Apex, NC address would have 1.5' water, and the house in Rougemont would have 2.2' of water. Considering both are on a hill in that particular location, I would be fine.

Says I'd have 3.6'. Not a chance. But 1/2 mi down the hill, absolutely.

I live on long island, property tax on 7,500 sq ft property is $11k, regular gas is $2.43/gal.
Now that is a disaster!!

I honestly can't see where it would be 3.7 feet of water by me either. Lake Erie is literally 1 block from me--right at the end of the street. I get that it would spill over, but depending on the wind direction, Buffalo could potentially get most of the drainage....
