Wouldn’t suggest retiring back there.

A number of folks are convinced it’s going to be under water . . . along with a major chunk of South Texas.

Hey, the elevation of Woodville is about 240’! And it's about 70 mile North of salt water. Where I actually retired to is about 28’ elevation and 2 miles from salt water. Needless to say during Hurricane Ike, we quickly boogied out of the area. We returned to find no damage (Except for the loss of trees) even though the eye of the storm passed right over our house. Even with the very large storm surge and about a foot of rain our neighborhood did not have even one house flood. Waterfront houses, OTOH, were pretty much devastated.
