A map? Hahaha, that's almost funny!

Coming from South Mississippi, it's up to Alabama as to whenever they decide to open their flood gates as to how many feet of water we get in a flood.

Hurricane Sandy flooded us deeper than Hurricane Katrina. Alabama has proven more than once that they don't give a shit about us down here.

Flood zone maps are only useful when those pesky humans don't intervene and open up flood gates and dams and shit. Oh, and humans literally created those things.

Nature is no longer strictly in control...
