This mornings paper has the so-called flood plains mapped. People are asking the right questions, a new map is needed. An example is Lourdes Hospital which was supposed to be on the high end of the 500 year flood plain and was inundated. Lots of homes on morgages were above the known flood plain and were not required to have flood insurance. Bottom line, everyone was working with bad information.
