Note: on the flooding assessment, there is great difference between "minor" and "severe" but little between "severe" and "unusual". I'd call them the same. How about adding "moderate" and deleting "severe". Also a link to a picture might help."Moderate" could mean: having to change lanes on the freeway for instance, or sidewalks flooded. |
