We drove through Lincoln park on Saturday, it's in a flood plain and 90% of it was underwater. Living by a river is nice until it decided to live in your basement. =)

Not really the changes in weather patterns (which is what Al Gore would have you believe) but the changes in the geographic topography...urban sprawl is a huge factor. The natural water sheds and runoffs are fill in, paved over, built over, etc... changed in someway 10, 20, 30 miles away and the effects however small it may be snowballs over distance. You are correct...the flood plane(plain)s are constantly changing. and they aren't documented until...You go to sell your home. then somehow you get screwed by that.
here in atlanta it is a very large problem. That and the fact that the sewer system is so dilapidated that it doesn't take the water out of the city it just backs up. Instant flood.

Actually it has everything to do with weather patterns, which are an result of our activity. Our way of living contributes to global warming, which in turn heats the sea levels which in turn leads to more intense, devastating hurricanes. Cause and effect. I am not disagreeing with you, just ammending what has been said. Our lifestyles and too many people cause these effects.
