The only time I was ever there it looked like half the town was under water after a long rain. You would think the residents would have plenty of incentive to buy Flood. Then again, the collective memory of these things is pretty short.
If I recall other articles I’ve read here, it’s not rain they’re worried about, it’s the levees that are aging and deteriorating. If one of them goes, it would definitely turn into Lake Sacramento.
I could be wrong on this – if I am, I’m sure I will be corrected ! :)
You are right reader, it is aging levies protecting newly developed residential & commercial properties … all ultimately guaranteed by the State of CA Gov’t aka CA Taxpayers!
Unfortunately, the deadline for buying residential flood at the lower rate was yesterday because the new maps take effect TODAY so this report is useless as a public service item which is what it tries to be.
