What the record says

About 60% of claims here were on properties rated outside high-risk zones (zones X, B or C). A lower-risk zone on the map is not a guarantee.

Losses are spread across many events; the largest, Tropical Storm Ivan, accounts for 5% of claims.

No claims were recorded in the last 10 years. Older floods still show what the area can do.

The most commonly recorded cause is heavy rain or snowmelt collecting faster than it drains, which can happen far from any river or coast.
