Oh, man!! How far would you have had to go for high enough ground to park on?
In East Carolina I was 11 miles inland and 11 feet elevation. My yard was sort of pillow-shaped and ONCE I got flooding all the way around the edges but the yard was about 8 inches higher in the middle and did not get flooded. But I was only there 5 years and we did not have any major hurricanes during that time.
I really feel for you - I know how I would feel if that happened to my oldtimers (2 1966 220 wagons, 2 164s and a 145E) and I would also be sore if it happened to my newer ones but they are covered by insurance and I have not had them long enough to get too attached to them. (I bought one of the 164s in 1971 and two of my kids got early driving experience in it.)

I probably am not much help to you in finding replacements but some of the other guys have made good suggestions and I would guess that there are a lot more good cars where you are than over here in the central plains.

Best wishes for a blessed Christmas, a great experience with the ONE who made and paid it all, and a prosperous, productive new year.
