[quote=Anonymous]It would be helpful to have some information about how building these homes and that location was approved. Communities that participate in the national flood insurance program have pretty strict guidelines that should have prevented this problem and the homeowners‘ lenders would have required a flood zone determination and required flood insurance if this was a known flood area. I’m guessing the flood maps were out of date and the flood zones changed based on all the developments in the county. It is also likely that developers have enough sway that they got this subdivision approved in a location that was a bad idea.[/quote]
