I grew up in Bear Creek (and went to school at Mayde Creek) and didn't know either.

  htx here too.. But growing up in the area did either of you really think that a flood was not possible? floodplain or not, after seeing 1 rainstorm here it should be clear to anyone that flooding can happen if you're under the wrong cloud at the wrong time..

    I wasn't a home buyer and am pretty sure I would have done this research if I had been. But, the point is that people that grew up here didn't have this as common knowledge; in hindsight, yes, but it's almost beyond the pale that the city would knowingly allow homes to be built in a known flood zone.

      Pretty good pun, assuming you know the meaning of "pale" :)

    Yes. But no one knew they would intentionally flood this area as a plan to save the inner city. In hindsight makes total sense they would and that it was designed just that way.
