Hey Jill, I may have some good news for you. I was driving to my soon-to-be-built home from Waldorf via Bealle Hill Road. I believe that's the road's name. Anyway, I saw a sign for Caruso Homes which stated that there were new homes to be built. I could still read all that, even though most of the sign was boarded up. I guess that's the community that couldn't be built. So, I feel SO much better about that flooding scare. It was in a low-lying area with older houses on that road. I guess we're in the clear so far 
: : Thanks Mari! I will post anything I find out
: here too.

: 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.
: 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!

: Hi there. I'm getting a new house built in
: Accokeek and I've heard that some areas have
: just been tagged as flood zones. Does anyone
: know where I can get info or a map about the
: flood zones in the area? I've been trying for
: weeks to locate info on my own via the web,
: with no luck. Please let me know. Thanks!
