Moutrie Creek area is in a swamp. It just is.. FEMA shows as Zone AE for most of it. Thats a 26% chance over the life of a 30-year mortgage

Last month (August 2024) was Hurricane Debby, just a heavy rainstorm by the time it hit TV.
I saw a villager showing off his rain gage filled to the top 10 inches.

Question: Did the Moultrie Creek/Middleton/Shady Brook area have and water rising close to any homes?

I am in the process of buying a home in Shady Brook. It is in an AE Zone. I assume the Developer has raised the foundation of the home above the water hazard elevation and that FEMA will update the map in a few years (I will appeal).

Thanks
