b) My mother was subject to migraines all her life. She'd have these terrific headaches which would last up to 24 hours.
Hi susan,

1. Does it mean 'my mother doesn't suffer from migraines any more now?

2. "I'd rather not live in an area that is subject to flooding."
Does 'subject to' mean often floods or may flood here?

3. "Clothing purchases over $200 are subject to tax."
What does this sentence mean?

Thanks a lot.
