New FEMA ABFE maps

The zone on that map ends about 2 miles down the road from my home. About what I would expect since the elevation drops from about 60 feet to 15 feet.
We are about 500' from the line that follows a creek up from the Toms River. I still can't believe we didn't get any water in the basement with the storm. I haven't been able to find what storm conditions these estimates are for, other than they are post sandy. If sandy were anything over a cat 1, things would have been a lot worse around this house.
That creek got pretty high, going by the debris line. This is from the day after on the main road. I wonder how long this guy will have to wait to find out how much damage the salt water did to his truck

Since you have lived in upstate NY, you should be familiar with the kind of damage that salt does to a vehicle.

Actually our town used sand. The Greenies would not allow salt
but once on state roads we became corroded again 
Our Explorer held up pretty well, considering the beach driving and chloride baths it had. It eventually died with 243K miles on the clock. That was a sad day.
In the Central NY area (Syracuse, Rochester, etc) they used rock salt - and LOTS of it - on the roads in the winters. This was back in the late 70's through the early 90's, don't know if it has changed now. I just couldn't believe how bad it was when I moved there, a 5 year old car could have holes in it. Will never forget driving down the snowy highway and watching a lump in the carpet under my feet that kept getting larger. Peeled it back and found the floor had completely rusted through. And this was maybe a 7 year old car.
How on earth Dogg, did you dig up this obscure bit of information in order to salt this post?
