Posting here since I could not find a "Venice, Fl" newsgroup. Sorry if
my question is somewhat off-topic. Have been doing research, trying to
find a suitable retirement venue. I plan on visting Venice, Florida in
the near future but first wanted to ask if any residents (or former
residents) know if Venice, Fl. has any serious flooding issues, like
many other Sunshine State coastal areas. Hurricanes can make any area
a flood zone, but was wondering if Venice had any "routine" flooding
issues. Also, would appreciate any comments (good or bad) about the
Venice area based on personal experiences. Thanks in advance - Brian



Just type "flooding" "venice, florida" into your web server. Lots of hits.

BrianInNY,

If you type in anything, you will get lots of hits.

287,000 for "flooding" "in" "hell"

1,090,000 for "pigs" "fly".

So typing in "flooding" "Venice, Florida" will not tell you anything.

and you can see that Venice does not have a flooding problem anymore
than the rest of coastal Florida. You definitely will need flood
insurance, because if you house is destroyed by a hurricane, all
insurance companies will highlight the fact that the damage was the
result of the storm surge, which is not covered by regular homeowners
insurance.
