Experts suggested that more data and education are needed as Texas and the rest of the country build in known flood plains.

      Depends where your “flood zone” is… If your coastal you get heavy subsidies, if your inland (barring being near some large rivers and lakes) you are subsidizing the coast.

      I have to pay flood insurance for a dry brook that hasn’t flooded in its history. It costs over $1,200 a year for my 160k house. If I could get private flood insurance the cost would be 2 to 300, possibly even less.
