Jer,

It is a very convoluted system. The numbers do not corrspond to the
elevation and the A zones do not correspond to other parishes as well.
There has been discussion about getting the industry to be consistent, but
to no avail.

Thanks as always for this clarification, John.

If one reads a +1 or so on an A01 area, what does this tell us? Should't
there be a chart that simplifies it for us?

It looks like a "1 Ft." above elevation in a decent flood-zone area, but
it's not a sure thing to be known, especially if we are forced to guess
wrong and need to ..know correctly.

Thanks.

Jer
