I decided not to include the 1993 flood layer; only that part of the parcels affected by the flood. This does skew the stats a little given that the most expensive parcel is way more than the rest but is affected by only a very small area of its parcel. 
I liked this map because it is simple looking but demonstrates in appropriate detail the affected roads and hospitals. The health facilities seemed to be on the edge of the flooded areas and safe (but possibly stranded) except one in Jackson county. The highways and interstates were clearly affected.My major pain is never being able to label the major roads appropriately, however, since the highways and interstates are clearly and separately shown in the legend, I thought the message of the map was delivered, although actual road numbers are not shown.I used the Hospital symbol from the menu and chose a 3-d image from Buildings for the church but the effect doesn't really impress on this map because of the limitations on the size of the church symbol.
I didn't have any problems creating this map, again from precise instructions except that I couldn't work out how to manipulate the graph where the text was in the same font and size. The text labeling on the x-axis displays only 2 values - strange. It shouldn't matter though because the legend to the graph clarifies the colors.
My first map was simple enough to create having followed the precise instructions, however, the challenge for me on this map was the colors and symbology. The intense blue gave the illusion of water but was not strictly true as it included low land. Symbolizing polygon layers would conflict with the elevation color - transparency would change the color too so I selected the marsh symbol that covers the blue; you can assume a low elevation (blue) for this anyway, right?
