Interesting flood stats

Check it out- particularly, how fast the waters rose. Note also the ELEVEN foot difference between this year's flood and the last comparable flood, not to mention the nearly 5,000 residential parcels affected. And: only half of people in the 100-year flood plain had flood insurance. To me, that says there's something wrong with the national flood insurance mandates (or lack thereof).
