RE: Snippets about the floods
Re living in a flood zone, I bet most of the folk on this site live on land that is reasonably certain to be above flooding. I bet that this is not by happy coincident.

I also bet that anyone new to prepping, but serious about it, who finds themselves in a flood prone are will be actively looking to get out of that situation as soon as they can.

Our home is around 2000 feet ASL, away from any historically flooded areas. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Best post on risk assessment and prior planning I've read this year, I live 289 feet above sea level and 10 miles from the coast to avoid tidal surges and tsunamis as well as riverine flooding.

As I have pointed out previously once upon a time the Posh, Cool, Trendy and Social climbing snobby thing to do was drive a BMW or Audi and if living in the GL area live in Chelsea / Westminster / Henley type places with posh riverside home and have a boat tied up at the end of the garden. But since the mid 90s many of those over paid social climbing twits now choose Landies and Rangies and choose to live at higher elevation in the rural parts of the home counties. Mean while going right back to the days of the Widening gyre forum those who came into our communities pretty soon realised the precarious state of their own positions. I remember Neil Mk 1 moving to Exeter on some hilltop, Neil Mk 3 move to a mountainside near Aberystwith, the three families that once lived in Swansea and Cardiff buggered off up the valleys. Coming forward we see HAL moving to a high ground lump of Scotland as did Highlander, as did Tarrel, one dude retired and moved from Swindon to the Devon moors, BP headed up hill from the coast to upland Devon. even a few I met from tother forum have all committed themselves to moving uphill ASAP. Even my crazy friend who lived on a converted coach as bought himself a Gite some place in the central Massiff of France and my old partner HT bought himself a tiny plot of land on the side of a mountain in northern Spain.
