Very few things are more comforting to me than a deliciously drippy French dip sandwich. Fantastically flavor beefâ¦golden toastedâ¦dark, beautiful onionsâ¦and the most delectably savory liquid to dip it in. Letâs just say Iâm a fan! This is a hunka hunka burninâ love.
Q: What do Zone AE, Zone A, and Zone X mean on the FIRM maps? A: Zone AE are areas that have a 1% probability of flooding every year (also known as the 100-year floodplain), and where predicted flood water elevations above mean sea level have been established.
A floodplain or flood plain is an area of land adjacent to a stream or river that stretches from the banks of its channel to the base of the enclosing valley walls and experiences flooding during periods of high discharge. The soils usually consist of levees, silts, and sands deposited during floods. Levees are the heaviest materials (usually pebble-size) and they fall in first; silts and sands are finer materials. Flood plains are made by a meander eroding sideways as it travels downstream.
