As for the current areas, I don't know for sure, just look online and you will find flood plane maps of the area. 

Fix the problems a s planed, compensation is not necessary for this small intrusion.

We've also gone down to zoning and planing and gathered some good information.

You can definitely be re-zoned in a new flood plane.

Buy yourself a plane ticket and a lockbox and you're all set!

The area I'm in doesn't appreciate much if at all, so I'm cautious to purchase a fixer-up in a C or D neighborhoods  Some of the ones that may have value are in flood planes and that kills the deal most of the time, because flood insurance is high and the rent in those areas range from $500-$625  We have been hit by two tornados  One yesterday and the other about 2 weeks ago.  

Hi Brian, I am still in this up to my neck now... 4:30 am calls are making me crazy.... so here is what I am thinking this morning- my clients have a home around the corner that we are planing to sell.
