[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1326720, member: 18945"] When Ike was done, I was shocked to hear how many people down on Bolivar Peninsula didn't have flood insurance. They all talked about flood ins but in reality, a lot didn't have it. My brother's neighbor had made the comment a few weeks before Ike "That's what flood insurance is for" but found out after the storm, he didn't have any. Everyone talks about Allison, but the flood of record for my area and much of SE Texas was the Oct '94 flood, and for both forks of the San Jacinto, that is what FEMA, USGS, and USCOE says is the 'flood of record'. The only reason Allison got so much attention is because of what it did to City of Houston, but '94 was worse for San Jacinto River Basin and Trinity River basin. '94 was the flood that saw the lower San Jacinto rupture the pipeline and burning on the water just upstream from the i10 bridge. Today, Trinity River gage at Liberty stands at 26.39' as of 10am. Oct 12 1994 set the historical record at 31.00'. Last month's flood crest here was at 18'5' at the Hiway 105 gage in Cleveland. The river crested earlier this week at 17.42'. Flood of record for that gage (6 miles downstream from me) is 24.98' Oct 94. Not saying it 'can't' ever get in my house, but it would not have gotten in even '94. (my house wasn't built until 2008) I would not have been able to get off the property without a boat tho.
