If it's pre-dam than it's meaningless. If we want to get really crazy, all of Bismarck should have to get flood insurance because if Peck broke and then Sak broke, all of Bis would be flooded.

I still like you, @Allen. We just might not agree completely on this topic. Btw, I don’t have a mortgage so nobody imposing their rules on me, at least not for this.
I would disagree with it being "meaningless". It represents the volume of water that can be stored up above an icejam and the potential for it to fail catastrophically. Could Garrison have tamed that event? Yes, but I am not convinced it would have been able to prevent catastrophic flooding due to the ice jam failing. Unfortunate timing akin to the 2009 icejam has plenty of water coming from the other tributaries south of the dam and a person can get to an expected flow of around 70k-80k in the Bismarck area (roughly flood stage) without ice problems. Now, this wouldn't be a weeks long event like 2011 as the water would recede pretty quickly, but nobody wants water in their house for any length of time.
There is validity and probability good intentions but single player plans are a jokeI have no doubt that any ice jam that threatened homes along the river, million dollar homes at that, would be eliminated with explosives, salt or some other solution long before it ever flooded homes miles from the river. I believe it is just a money grab.
Flood insurance does cover ground water but since it is a basement it is limited.There is validity and probability good intentions but single player plans are a joke
Imo, we are essentially compensating coastal housing developments
Depending on who you talk to, We had a 100-500 yr flood in 2011, house was untouched except for ground water ( which flood insurance doesn’t cover) and rates went up significantly along with reclassification of flood zone. We might be waiting for Noah’s flood
I’m prepared to be educated, but the groundwater damage was not coveredFlood insurance does cover ground water but since it is a basement it is limited.
Mine was partially covered in 2011 With flood insurance, furnace, electrical, insulation, drywall. no texture, paint, doors, trim, or floor coverings. Now I did have surface flood water within 75’ of the house.I’m prepared to be educated, but the groundwater damage was not covered
Flood insurance or FEMA?Mine was partially covered in 2011 With flood insurance, furnace, electrical, insulation, drywall. no texture, paint, doors, trim, or floor coverings. Now I did have surface flood water within 75’ of the house
Flood insurance. i tried to get fema to cover what flood ins didn’t but they wouldn’t,Flood insurance or FEMA?
I like you as well, but I am telling you as someone who works with water that there is non-trivial risk of flooding in that area and I would be very uncomfortable as a homeowner. One can believe what they wish, but the numbers are what they are,I still like you, @Allen. We just might not agree completely on this topic. Btw, I don’t have a mortgage so nobody imposing their rules on me, at least not for this.
So what is the most likely scenario where south Bismarck floods? I’m talking water on the streets at least 3 feet deep. Keeping in mind the coulee, pumps near fox, and the roads that were raised.I like you as well, but I am telling you as someone who works with water that there is non-trivial risk of flooding in that area and I would be very uncomfortable as a homeowner.
