Hi John,

Flood zones very from place to place and go even so far as to vary by subsets of homes in a given community. One subset being in one flood zone and the rest in another.

Here are two links where you can query the map databases for the flood zone a given area is located in.

You had to know that they would make adjustments and then we would have a slow hurricane year. Whoops! Hopefully, I did not jinx us!

I have always been curious how they determine which homes are considered high-risk and which ones are not. And, if properties were once considered to be a risk, how could they no longer be considered a risk. Does anyone know more about how this works?

Flood insurance? That’s one of the oddest things I’ve ever heard of… but then again, I live in the desert!
