Why buy in any level of flood zone? Most destructive force of nature. All indications are that the feds, if not getting out of flood insurance, are going to make it pay for itself, which it has never come close to doing in the past. The handwriting is on the wall. Expect rates to climb astronomically with premiums in the many thousands of dollars per year. This prospect is already making real estate sales on the NC coast difficult. When the buyer finds out how much the required flood insurance will cost it is no sale.
