\nThe dark green is labeled “Evergreen Forest” and decreased from 31.81% in 1991\nto 26.47% in 2005.\nMeanwhile, the light pink labeled “Low Intensity Urban” went from\n5.37% to 8.57%.\nOther changes include the red “High Intensity Urban” slice going from 1.15% to 1.98%.\nBut the biggest change is piney woods being paved over for urban sprawl.\n

\nCould this have some effect on flooding?\n
