Wow, haven't been over to see that side of 79 yet; reminds me of when the water crept right up to Old Town St Pete in 93. Two straight days of sandbagging in the heat...ugh.
We are over to the west, behind St Dominic High School. If we go under, I'm building an ark cause the whole world is going under at that point!

Yeah. I figure if the water makes it to the West side of 79 (where we live), we're in a world of hurt....
I don't live in a floodplain; however, it does surprise me how close the water is to our home. We live near the ballpark and Ozzie Smith Sports Complex.

Did you check out the Google map link I provided? In the upper right corner of the map is a “Terrain” link. It’ll give you an idea of what the terrain is like in your area. You’ll notice the land is higher up all along the south side of Hwy 79. You’ll also want to zoom in a bit.

Yes. In fact, it was flooded not too long ago, in April and last month... those ditches overflowed onto Salt River Rd.

best info I’ve seen.

Have you read some freeper comments about living in a flood plane? You think they could make the case for moving out of the entire state of Iowa?
I think you'll find, among true conservatives, that they don't mind people living on flood plains... what they do have a problem with is using taxpayer's money to bail people out of trouble because of their choice to live in a flood plain.
Having personally lived through 2 minor floods that caused foundation damage and a fire that destroyed everything, I pulled myself and my family up and we went on. We didn't get any free hand outs.
As long as people take responsibility for their choice, I have no problem with them living in flood plains.
