It floods here. period. If you live near these reservoirs, you drive by them daily or at least weekly, and see them turn into giant lakes after a mild storm (which for us can mean dropping several cm/in in the course of an hour or even minutes), and are also aware that we get big storms from time to time. Thinking you are not at risk of flooding anywhere in the area, or near these reservoirs especially, is basically living in denial.
