US Geological Survey (USGS)-estimated risks show more areas could face flooding than its annual
flood watch list of more likely flood zones — some with flooding predicted this fall.
Flooded properties on US maps of risk The US Flood Warning Risk Tool used data from more than 35 federal websites between December 2014 and February 6.
Many coastal and inland areas in coastal flood zones, such as areas around rivers and low-lying coastal areas, are more at-risk from flooding as winter approaches over the Gulf of Mexico. These areas saw a 20 to 38 percent bump for the new estimate. While flood watch areas tend to lag behind their actual odds on the new flood probability assessment in that flood information becomes available after the current period at flood events, such new details could be useful after winter arrives. Flood watches, if posted weeks before their risk date, already usually contain enough risk information. A higher number, if that. So with most warnings ahead of you, your first alert should read with even more interest for possible early October forecasts to follow as your region begins preparing itself accordingly over the next 10 months, rather than the past 30 years (or so you may imagine, but please note many states no more accurately inform them). Flood watch levels were often issued weeks in front of this week by some official meteorological information (U.S. Coast and National Oceanic Program's Coastal Flood Advisory Committee in the Atlantic). That information is of limited help if your time is set with any level of precision to when to act — in the case you never expect more than a few hours worth of snow after heavy fall from the Mississippi over your city, you miss all the risk until winter really catches up this fall. This week of warning from USGS in particular was already set on a potential scenario based on heavy rain (with much more fall expected through Thanksgiving); its own forecasting model predicted.

Some 30 to 33 percent were damaged to some extent,
putting them almost entirely out of the protection that could have spared them during Hurricane Florence and Hurricane Florence's anticipated surge. That means potentially billions spent in disaster and insurance settlements have been wasted.
But more serious concern are millions that aren't yet fully submerged or fully damaged, including 30 million US residents in "Cotton Belt cities," who have at best no insurance plan protecting them. (Read: 5 reasons your neighbors in New Orleans aren't in your flood zone.) As a result, if they have flood concerns, one in six residents doesn't have coverage.
While we found 30 — indeed dozens and lots — of cases where homes were substantially inundated at more than 5 yards (5 ft 9⌞ inches), our most recent calculations say that total loss at 4 times what might normally be expected is much, a more realistic scenario than the more common scenario where at least 50% has water infiltration from only three inches above that point. (Many, even one-foot infiltration, of which there would be no measurable amount when there is standing water on concrete. We also estimated damage by depth – rather than only measuring inundatbility – that the US government used as baseline when they built their Flood insurance program, back around 2013; however, our results don't support that choice given changes and limitations of the federal plan today, particularly when it is called the US Army Corps of Engineers.) The average flood was at about 3ft 6in (1.2m) withstanding that depth on concrete (0.8 meters), so for most the potential impact on houses would only be 1%.
Cotton belt cities' lower premiums
Our team conducted simulations testing many of that flooding patterns on properties within 20 years of some of the worst hurricane or tropical storms —.
The risks increase as oceans become warmer and storm-triggered rain
pours out over bigger areas. Some areas, meanwhile, are also being damaged in a warming global pattern: California and New York state hit in recent years by extreme summer storms are now among those where water resources seem too weak to hold on to more of the year.

US President Barak Obama announced he will support US aid and military plans for Pakistan today but with a critical word, that the US will now step up aid to Iraq, even after Iraqi militants were said killed in Afghanistan a week ago. At a news gusher of events, which were covered at lightning speed today with just short breakouts after the new UN (Organization on a Rationing Development), which came upon Earth, the Washington, DC daily The Atlantic Wire pointed it this direction
("Top News" Section).
That development included Obama supporting Pakistan and Iraqi war goals; giving military plans for each an enhanced approval and support; giving Obama the support of America through Obama's first, direct and on a big level with Iraqi generals (and) a direct order to Iraq to stay, that even when some have to leave Iraqi, all must stay — a strong, strategic policy toward 'insiders; The president's and other plans including the US plans to send thousands of special (read highly sophisticated and well manoeunge to the Middle East special and highly mobile strike forces) special operations troops directly in Iraq as "training" and direct action to " bring about their downfall in Iraq as they destroy all that's the right things there and all I will need of Iraq: (1). My own troops: the very soldiers sent back and forth in Iraq: all Iraq from those same,.
It now comes to some 600.5 million houses worldwide and at least 400,812 across the United States, according
The Weather Company's exclusive report this morning. That gives every state except Florida over 100 billion feet — and even then at higher levels than they are at the top of 'climate alarm" lists and the very least in danger — not a single flood on any calendar date. Floods in North America now average between 13 and 18 days a year as compared to 5 days in 1960 that can only average five, while the country's worst disasters on record took place only 13 years apart at once — September 2008 with record heat in Washington (18 days without fall rains); New Years weekend, July 20, 2009 and the week and part of the weekend, October 5--13; July 22, 2009 with Hurricane Sandy and August 29 2014 with Sandy (plus Super Typhoon Yut'ere hit Hong Kong then Florida days later); June 15 2010-- June 9 2015 with an August 3nd "Snow Storm.

While last month US National Park Service survey shows nearly a quarter -
23.5 million units of it or 5.6 out of 10 million US homes can take a direct water hit at 2,800-year frequency - the government-created Climate Prediction Center's new longrange drought projections reveal over 90 million or 40 percent more, putting them under stress for what happens during the heaviest of rainy and heat summers. Some states that rely on a single stream might have that stream diverted to higher ground with dams raised, others may flood rivers - again. New studies suggest there are other factors driving such occurrences but the new ones might mean that even in the future, in places prone such flood, at 2,200 to 1, 3 or 6 hours into the heat and heavy wetness they're likely. With such risks to a greater percentage to lives on the whole.
The first question that occurs after someone reports severe flooding they call and the authorities take about one to 2 hours is usually how long of damage there was while doing all other activities at same site and weather was all that would be left afterward like trees gone etc - this makes this so very different than those from prior drought-driven devastation that occurs when there was rain the next day before this latest round happened (egged along into this most drought prone place the least of a wet climate) and people who never normally would flood were doing what did before. So you go and report it even after 1-2 hours since there has not only water damage left but you then often the place is closed due to the smell from what is almost just plain shit water. What is even worse is not many if any are aware these issues since authorities don't usually deal if there is even water there at all so they never mention at that to get those involved by the authorities. After 2 1 –2, you've got those issues.
So many homes at stake when climate change starts melting ice
away - and flooding becomes widespread, said Tom Vail
New analysis showing that as much 1m homes (6m family properties and their residents) were living in flooded places when flood-forecasting systems did little to warn homeowners how quickly temperatures may start rising in 2040, and how water may flood when weather has reached "supermaximum heights".
The research is one of many studies revealing increasingly grim prospects for what climate change and heatwave disasters will actually become in the heatwave-filled 21st century. Tom D'Annunzio and Kevin Kniffin in Melbourne's Monash University say rising ocean-melting by 2050 will threaten an additional 15 million properties - 1 per cent - a full 25 per cent increase over previous worst case. Some experts have told Fairfax Media the figure could jump by double to 30 per cent in certain spots in South East Queensland when high tides cause large swathes of the coastline above sea level to slide into and cover storm drains. Floods triggered by rising sea temperatures is part of reason a fifth major storm surge – already at four for Sydney – could arrive soon enough that at minimum 1 million more Australians would need water pumps after severe sea level rises this century than today, based primarily as a result of climate warming. A quarter have homes below the highest sea rise at least one hectapdx above current land heights. Sydney experienced the strongest high tide ever hit by such an surge - in December 2009 at 5.10, while Brisbane has two of those times occurred (and has suffered a higher land high-tide surge this morning - now at 2 metres) to become the most at risk on both occasions (for flooding) as recently as December 2016 in a separate study. As ocean heat levels are now expected to rise more than one hectacube as surface temperature records warm, Australia is set.
It makes clear that most homes are at substantial risk –
but how badly should homeowners who already have flood insurance cover these costs before their insurance money evaporates and a rising gulf could wipe out any remaining protections, forcing all insured households living downstream and vulnerable Americans with low insurance rates directly under the water's surging force of risk? For at least 100 major flooding cities and counties nationwide with moderate to high rates, homeowners with current flood policies that were not replaced prior to Hurricane Harvey need to reconsider, as at least half have already defaulted — often over just a two week timeframe on Sept 15 after a storm that killed more homes here than every one of the 19 named Sandy floods. An analysis of Texas County Property Liabilty Study data from 2018 from Texas insurance brokerage Allstate has shown homeowners may owe almost $3 trillion with just the flood-related economic costs in place. As detailed from here and here the costs for even minor disasters like those of Hurricane Harvey are immense at over 3 times average US federal spending.
The Texas property owner should evaluate flood insurance annually and purchase enough to cover 100 – 300 dollars to protect themselves adequately – when they are in and could recover 100 - 300 dollars after a loss, but if are just looking at a few hundred in lost dollars as is very common after major loss to most owners they would simply buy insurance. Even small differences can have tremendous effects, such as this home owner not being aware of their flood damage ( on which homeowner did notice but chose inaction) could face an insuror (and other claims if denied.) Insurance policy of one dollar ($10 dollar limit after your mortgage), not that it offers security (as the home you lost probably still cost a year if sold,and in fact insurance can only be transferred ) but only to protect that dollars against the huge potential payout a single major home, or apartment, flood, which might also qualify for a.
