Default Dumb Question - but just in case

Hi folks:
Still planning on leaving this Godforsaken high-tax environment to retire in my beloved NH. I have what might be a dumb question. I lived for many years in Hanover but didn't spend nearly enough time on the lake - just enough to know that's where I would retire some day. As I evaluate different homes in the Wolfboro/Tuftonboro/Alton/Moultonborough areas, I continue to wonder if there are any "flood plain" issues, as there are a few "feeder" rivers, etc.... to the lake. I didn't read anything from the lakes region to cause me concern during the horrible floods back in 2011 in the aftermath of Hurricane Irene (the one that Brattleboro got wiped-out from). Although not technically a "high mountain lake" like they have out here in California, Winnipesaukee is 500 feet above sea level. Logically I would think that there's nothing to worry about but I figured I'd ask. Especially the "old-timers" in this group - has anyone through the years seen any flooding problems in different communities on the lake????? Or are there any lake-front communities to watch-out for?
