Oh boy the insurance companies and the flood plane and flood insurance will all surface soon....we here in our local town had the flood plane revised after last year. From an aerial view such as terraserver.com they drew a line along the Beaver River and called this the new flood plane. Anyone within this border had to get flood insurance or loose their financing from the banks. My sister,from the aerial view is only 350 yards from the Beaver River. But the elevation from the river to her house is over 1000 feet. Now at this stage of flooding we would see Noah pass by. It took lots to get this changed. The thousand dollars and more for flood insurance she was forced to pay would have paid for those that live a few feet from the creeks here but they choose to do so and I know lots that have to rebuild every year because of flooding...and they don't mind....gotta stick to our guns..or we all will get insurance rate increases.....
