FEMA considers all flood controls impacting the specific areas, so they must be considering the Lakeport Dam. The bigger impacts from a 100 year flood seem to be down stream.

That 1984 was the highest water I have ever seen. Lots of places were flooded then and I remember them calling it a hundred year flood. However, I thought I remembered a flood after that being called a hundred year storm too. (Maybe the first not wake flood?) But the highest I remember in our yard was 1984.
