AndreaD Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 I read on Feb. 26th in the Chronicle that the city of Shenandoah got new proposed floodplain maps from a consultant. This news doesn't only affect Shenandoah, but also a lot of the Grogan's Forest area, especially the newly-built areas on both sides of Grogan's Mill Road Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody_hawkeye Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Subsidence? Creekside Park was built up to a 500-year or higher floodplain. It appears that there is lot of additional flood plain on this map. I was not following the new maps, but did they change the elevation specifications or did they just remeasure and map the elevations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the Chronicle article said, "The new flood map would be an upgrade over the one currently in effect, which was established in 1999, he said. The new version is digital, providing a more accurate representation of the flood plain." So blame it on newer technology. I just wonder now if this digital imaging will affect other areas near creeks elsewhere in The Woodlands.Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am betting you are not going to relocate on a creek bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
