There’s a good article in the Sun Sentinel on flooding in West Boca by Marci Shatzman (e-mail).
In short, flooding can occur, or be worsened, if a community fails to properly adjust the height of the “weir” that separates the community’s lakes from the drainage canals. And people should also be careful not to allow drainage grates to become blocked.
Our experience in far west Boca was that the flooding seemed to be heavier near Palmetto and south of Palmetto, and not as bad near Glades Road. However, the lakes were pretty high in the Mission Bay area as well.
