thanks man, sorry about your house.

So I take it the blue is the 100 year flood estimation? And this event is potentially worse? I'm clear for the blue but there's not a ton of distance

Thank you!

I'm 21.5 ft Ground elevation. If my house gets flooded all of Lafayette will get flooded

What is AE? 9.3 elevation and yes we have flood ins.
We're in blue are but no flooding. What does blue area mean??

Flood hazard areas identified on the Flood Insurance Rate Map are identified as a Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA). SFHA are defined as the area that will be inundated by the flood event having a 1-percent chance of being equaled or exceeded in any given year. The 1-percent annual chance flood is also referred to as the base flood or 100-year flood. SFHAs are labeled as Zone A, Zone AO, Zone AH, Zones A1-A30, Zone AE, Zone A99, Zone AR, Zone AR/AE, Zone AR/AO, Zone AR/A1-A30, Zone AR/A, Zone V, Zone VE, and Zones V1-V30. Moderate flood hazard areas, labeled Zone B or Zone X (shaded) are also shown on the FIRM, and are the areas between the limits of the base flood and the 0.2-percent-annual-chance (or 500-year) flood. The areas of minimal flood hazard, which are the areas outside the SFHA and higher than the elevation of the 0.2-percent-annual-chance flood, are labeled Zone C or Zone X (unshaded).

I don't know enough to know, we need someone to step in and get us up to speed.
Posted on 8/13/16 at 9:59 am to wickowick
I'm flood zone X with a ground elevation of 50 feet. I think I'm good.

I think the best way to read it is the blue shading is a 100 year flood which this appears to be.
I compared the blue shading to the 100 year flood NW Louisiana got in March and the shading was accurate as could be compared to what actually happened.

People in Folsom flooded that had elevations of 60'+.

So you obviously have flood insurance?
Posted on 8/13/16 at 10:13 am to VetteGuy
I am in AE which is 49 ft level and below. However my survey was 49'5" but they round off numbers to the nearest foot. Which put me at AE.
