Our big problem here regarding topography is that we are so darn flat and so close to tbe coast so we have problems with flooding. When these farmers sell their tracts of land and the developers buy them up the dig retention ponds and use the soil from the pond to raise the level of the land the devs are going to build on.
The retention ponds work for minimal type rains and work fine but when we get hurricanes ( I think where you are they are called "typhoons") then the ponds get over filled and flooding takes place. So areas that never had a flooding isssue in the past when it was farm land end up with issues and people down stream along the rivers and streams that carry the water to the coast are really impacted even worse.
Were 5 days from the wedding now and the DJ for the reception isn't going to be available now and the wife is scrambling to get one.
Take care and I will do a dash about the wedding hopefully soon after it.
Sult,
