Answer 1

Well the real question should be, how far from large bodies of water are you, how far above sea level does your house stand, and if you have flood insurance on your house. Flooding is only a matter of time due to global warming. It is estimated that when the ice caps are completely melted, the estimated sea level will rise about 300 feet.
