Most of the Irma Flooding was from prolonged torrential downpours over flat land. The storm surge really didn’t do too much to our area, but with the amount of rain we had it resulted in sheet flow over miles of roadway in some areas. Nothing high velocity, but when you can’t see where you’re going or any hazards you can’t drive through it. We thankfully don’t have any major hills here and any storm surge flooding should recede within a day or two as nothing is below sea level thankfully. Mountains or hills can be very risky with flash flooding.
