The guy that built the house I'm leaving in 1978 was very proud of the fact he built it 2 feet higher than the all time flood record of 1961. The house was not in the flood plain. The top ten floods since then varied by just a few tenths. Fast forward to 2008 when the 61 record was eclipsed by 5.5 feet. Now I'm in a flood plain. It's global warming.....polar ice caps melting, bull$hit flowing downstream........ setting in the new place typing this I'm 60 feet higher.
