Defining Basement

Then that’s not a basement according to the original post. See the figure on the left.

My ceiling is not greater than 6' from grade plane

Garden level refers to the entire lower level is half below grade & half above grade on level surface surounding the entire structure.

That has more flooding potential than what I have then.

Plus mine has a good half mile or better of slope away from the low end.

if we got that much rain - does slope away from residence

I made some presumptions about grade plane that are probably not correct.
