Got lots of hills (up to around 900 meters high) around my area though.

I'm a whopping 10 feet above sea level. Twisties? Sweepers? Far and few between.

No, but a big enough hurricane could change that.

Yeah, I seem to remember South Louisiana going through a bad hurricane recently. We got a little piece of that one. Sucks to be below sea level.

If you live next to the ocean, couldn't you have made an educated guess without using Google Earth?

As I look at my sea wall, I must be at least 3 feet.

Where is mary esther, FL?

I'm in Daytona and we have some killer sweepers and tight twisties.

With all this rain, for the last 3 days(and high tide), I'm getting closer to sea level.

My house is around 750ft.


I live in the Midwest version of SanFran (both in terms of politics and topography/climate). There's parts of town where in one block you can go up 40' or more. The biggest difference I've seen so far is an 85ft elevation difference just on the short-side of a block.

3 feet according to google earth, but enough canals and lakes that we have never come close to flooding.

Go down to Sweetwater in Miami during a heavy rain or hurricane and they are -3 feet!
