I would be OK with it if FEMA and the states just followed the
existing rules. Allowing them to rebuild New Orleans without building
14ASL was criminal and will pick the pockets of the tax payer the next
time they have a storm. I certainly will not feel sorry for them.
I feel the same way about all of these people below the FEMA elevation
based on their datum plane.

No I do not have flood nor will I be looking for the government to
help me if I do have trouble. It is unlikely because this place has
not flooded in recorded history ... over 120 years.


You sound like me back in 2001 when we bought two places in Florida. I
did some research first and discovered that Jupiter, FL
had not had a direct hurricane hit in 100 years. Realizing how large
the coastline of Florida is, and the remote chances of a direct or even
close hit, I felt pretty safe.

Bought the houses and got wacked with three hurricanes in a little over
one year. Charlie, Francis and Wilma. :-)



We got Wilma and Charley but there wasn't much water with either of
them, just a lot of wind. Charley really looked like the one that
would get us but it was moving too fast for a surge tide.
Bob was the one that gave us the highest tide but there was no real
wind with it. It was still pretty far from getting over the bank.
I am prepared to bag the doors and I have a 3" trash pump. We are not
going down without a fight ;-)
