Floods in Miami have become a routine part of life, as monthly tide peaks percolate up through sewers during so-called sunny day flooding, and rain with nowhere to drain pools in streets. The kind of flash flooding in New York City making news after a big September storm would be viewed as just another day in parts of Miami during the May-October wet season.

In coming decades, four out of five residents may face disruption or displacement, whether they live in flood zones or not.
