New Orleans Flood Maps - Revised

Good news.

According to the maps, our house stands a 1% chance of sustaining a maximum of 2 feet of 100-year hurricane flooding in any given year. And that's under a scenario where no pumps are running.

According to our downstairs neighbor, Mrs. Elsas, the flooding during Katrina never reached the floorboards on the lower level.

The season opens June 1. The storm names have already been chosen.
