Ugh our little tiny town used to flood yearly because of the creek that ran through town so it is designated as FEMA Floodway. The townspeople uilt a dike to divert the creek about 80 years ago, which of course stopped the flooding. The last time it flooded was 1955, when some jackass blew up a small dam further upstream. There is absolutely no reason we should be paying the exorbitant amounts we have to pay each year for flood insurance!
The only good thing I can see about it though is that it has kept a lot of people from moving here.
