This is my first flood too. My pier is fixed and completely underwater right now. I was told when I built it that I didn't want to screw the decking down or even nail it down really good so that the boards could float free in a flood. The decking is cheap and easy to replace. But if it's really secure, chances are, the flood waters could float the pilings out of the ground if the decking is still attached. I nailed the decking down with #8 nails mostly. The only parts that are really tight is where the cleats for the boats are.

I'm not gonna submit this one to Mythbusters or anything. But we should see along about Monday.

Peace,
