Now that the dust has settled and many homeowners have found out if they are in or out of the high risk flood zone, I thought that it was time to express my thoughts on the proposed new flood maps from the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Forget about big parades for our sports players after a winning series. We should have a parade to honor all our police, sanitation and park crews, firefighters, LIPA workers and all the volunteers who left their owns homes to help their neighbors. God bless us all.

On Sept. 18, my two passengers and I were trapped in my car, which got stuck in a flood between 59 and 55 Lyons St. in Valley Stream around 9 p.m. All four windows and doors wouldn’t open since the car had no power. Within minutes, water started to seep into the car.

I don’t know if Richard Creeron deliberately misleads the public or he is just misinformed.
