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 ;-) |
