Flood history and a garage door won't close in Shoreacres

Among its core municipal duties, Shoreacres's city government lists floodplain management right alongside police, parks and building inspections — not an afterthought, but a standing responsibility. That's not surprising given the town's history: 88% of Shoreacres homes took on flood damage when Hurricane Ike made landfall near Galveston on September 13, 2008. Sensor wiring and track hardware that took water in that storm, or in any lesser flooding since, corrode in ways that don't always announce themselves until a door starts hanging up on its way down.
