They had people around here that were suddenly mapped in the floodplains back about 2008, that had to hire surveyors to prove they are not, to avoid having to get flood insurance. Someone hundreds of miles away, who didn't know squat about the lay of the land, put them in a floodplain, and cost them thousands. You could be 150 feet horizontally from the river, and be on top of a 120 foot bluff, in a few cases. Hopefully, with better mapping, the next floodplain map will be better, but around here, we are still living with those bad 2008 maps. It doesn't bother me, cause I'm not selling, and don't have a lender.
