I've had mostly annoyances, myself, but I'm MUCH further inland. Due to my proximity to an arterial waterway, I've had to deal with Flooding. Mainly because my place of employment is just about kissing the river and its attendant wetlands and such. So, I pretty much had to "thread the needle" of alleys and back ways to get from the parking lot at work, to the main road where it wasn't flooded.
That said I had the fun moment of watching a Semi Trailer bull through the flooding that would have covered the hood of my car.

them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary.''
