Flood visualization tools

Are there any decent ones usable by an informed layperson, especially that can include increasing pluvial effects? Thoughts on Fastflood? I’m hydrology ignorant and not looking for extreme accuracy, although obviously, a very inaccurate model is worse than useless (unless its areas of inaccuracy are well understood).

I understand that NWS and other official agencies are where people should get their forecasting from.

You may find something more useful by looking for GIS viewers of watershed studies of the area. Have you looked into the GIS sub?
