Local housing stock
Building in Florence clusters in the early 1980s: the median unit dates to 1983, with 57.4 percent finished before 1990. Just under three fifths predates 1990, mostly slab and crawl on sandy soil over clay. Nothing here is built for surge because surge does not reach; it is built for rain that does not leave.
Climate & seasonal risk
July is the wettest month here at 5.8 inches, part of an annual 45.3 inches in the 1991–2020 normals from FLORENCE RGNL AP, 3.9 miles off. July leads at nearly six inches out of forty-five, but the record events come from tropical systems that slow over the inland plain and empty themselves there.
Common water damage problems in Florence
- Tropical systems slowing over the inland plain and delivering more than they did at the coast
- Sandy soil over clay, taking water a foot or two down and then stopping
- River levels that peak days after the rain, when the weather has already moved on
- A flat plain where a small rise in a channel spreads water across a very wide area
