I don't want to know what kind of damage we'd have if it ever got to 45.9 again.
I have to imagine with dams and reservoirs upstream somewhat controlling the flow that will be very unlikely to happen.
Still not sure how anyone would think it's a good idea to build in a flood plain and not put the house on piers or at least building up a good mound for the slab level to get it above the 100-year mark.

Yeah, I'm building a house in a flood zone in Florida. It is going on pilings and will be 3 feet above 100 year flood. And the house is going to cost just under $300k.
FEMA has been revising their flood maps to make them more conservative. And you just don't build without being 2 feet above 100 year flood unless you don't care about flood insurance.
