MODERATORS
Living near the ocean, seeing old buildings with doors only a couple of feet above the water amazes me.
Where we are, even bays and inland waterways are tidal and subject to tidal and storm surge flooding. You need to be at least 10-15 feet above sea level or in is just a matter of time until it gets washed away.
Where are located, more or less?
East coast of the US. The "100 year" flood zone covers places that are miles away from the ocean, bays, etc. The water works its way up tidal creeks. Anything directly on the water gets flooded on a fairly regular basis.
