Title: Re: Flooding In Iowa Post by: javabug on June 18, 2008, 12:38:48 pm Yeah, that is a real mess for those folks. Floods are difficult to bounce back from.
My house is situated about 200 ft. from a large creek, but luckily I am elevated above it quite a bit. The flood plain map doesn't show elevation, so I am required of course to carry flood insurance—which is damn expensive! When you see those pics from Iowa, then I don't feel quite as bad having the insurance even though it is unlikely I'll ever need it.
