Surprised?? Almost all of Florida is a Flood Zone. This peninsula that we live in so flat that sometimes I think the state's high points are the overpasses over Interstates and Florida Turnpike. The Florida Citrus Tower, in Clermont, is 226 feet high and you can see into 8 counties. You can buy Flood Insurance from FEMA - mine costs about $400 per year.
