Unfortunately, what constitutes a flood zone is a political issue (as well as a real natural issue). The government tried to change the flood zone line, people freaked out due to how that would affect their property values, and the government walked back on the changes.
My point is really that some people buy property that is not in the flood zone when they buy it, and all of a sudden it’s within it.

That’s weird, it’s almost like the climate is changing over time!
