Posted by Mari The friend who told me about the Flood Zone issue has a dad that lives in Hillantree and it's just fine. She told me that there were houses planned but once the Flood Zones were established, a developer was not allowed to build there. So, everyone should be fine but I still wanna know where the other Flood Zones are since I've only seen one sign. If you ever find out, please post it on this site so I know. Thanks! --Previous Message--

Hi Jill. I was alarmed too. I can tell you that I see a Flood Zone sign on Floral Park Road. I can see how it can be a flood zone since it's flat there and it's at the bottom of a hill. It's actually at the bottom of The Preserve community which isn't bad because I know that there are lots of low-lying areas around MD and it doesn't mean that there will be waist high water or anything, just that houses shouldn't be built there now. The Preserve is actually on top of the hill and water would run down to the area with the signage. I see some very old houses close to the Flood Zone sign and they seem to be just fine.
