It can happen in the panhandle, but not so much the rest of Florida. You need elevation to get floodwaters really moving.

Tropical Storm Debby caused flash floods up there since it took the perfect path to inundate Georgia and their clayey soil upstream. Flooding in Florida can get bad but it's usually not the "holy shit the river just took my house" type of flooding.

On that note, houses on those mountain and hill country rivers really need different building codes to account for how these rivers and creeks flood.

Incidentally one of those places is Marlinton West Virginia.

Its really cool to see. They are basically using the same sort of structural design you would see from houses that are built on a barrier island in hurricane prone regions.

I posted this as a thread in articles and news, but it sort of goes here too. There was a forest fire caused by a lightning strike on July 4th at the north rim of the Grand Canyon. It has now burned down the lodge and most of the buildings in the north rim. It caused chlorine gas leak from a water treatment plant into the canyon forcing an evacuation down to the colorado river. It has completely devastated the north rim.
It is at 11,000+ Acres at 0% containment still.

A fire management team has been ordered for the wildfire and will take command on Monday.
