Kapoho Vacationland has some high spots to it (high being relative).
Our current home is at an 11' elevation at grade level - about 600 ft back from ocean. None of the storm surges have affected us back this far. We did get to take the big truck down Waiopae though and it was fairly flooded back to Kapoho Kai corner nearly. The kaheka/waiopae corner only flooded back to a little beyond the white house that is nearly flooded at a normal high tide. The kahonua/waiopae corner was not even close to water. So you can tell the subdivision tilts elevation wise north/south and east/west. With the NNW corner being about the highest part (near Obie's house actually).
