Well, here is my question: In 2009 the city surverying crew came over and placed stakes in our yard showing the different levels. Basically, the bottom of our walk-out basement was 22.5 ft above James. So, they made us build a sandbag dike (2 ft) in front of the walk out only.
The water actually rose to 22.6 ft at James that year; however, the water was nowhere near our dike - in fact, it was 30 ft away from our house. In reality, the water would have to have risen an additional foot (23.5 ft James) for it to hit our dike.
So, in my estimation, whatever the reading is at James, you have to substract 1ft for our area. Just wondering if you've noticed the same thing?
