FYI: Where I'll be...

Sorry to hear about your situation BG. Your view seems to be quite common in todays news. There is flooding going on in many countries around the globe today and not much is being stated about why just yet, but it seems that we are experiencing freakish weather that may or may not be a cycle that we should have expected on many levels.

As for your house, sorry to hear of your experience. One has to consider all of the variables and decide whether it is time to bail or stick it out. My opinion is living in any kind of a flood zone is too great of a risk. Especially when family is involved. Life is too short to put yourself in that situation. Maybe try to communicate with the bank and get out while you still can. River front or river view property has its issues, and I would not buy anything less than 30 feet above sea level with the predictions of high water levels. With the threat of global warming looming I fear that things are only going to get worse in the comming years. I would try my best to live in a higer elavation for sure. Good luck Brian.
