temp...nature can strike anywhere...there are just places that are more high risk than others....but yo uare prepared (as much as possible) I haven't been struck by a tornado but I'm as prepared as I can be

FEDERAL DISASTER ASSISTANCE ISN'T THE ANSWER.
To be eligible for Federal disaster assistance, a flood must be declared a disaster by the President. Although floods can be extremely damaging to property and personal possessions, they are often too small or local to be declared Federal disasters. Even if your area did qualify for Federal assistance after a flood, this assistance is often a loan that has to be repaid with interest. Grants may also be available to those who qualify, but the average grant amount is $2,500. It pays to protect your property with National Flood Insurance!

that is from FEMA

National Flood Insurance is issued through FEMA....To me its not "Not that expensive considering your homeowners insurance pays nothing in a flood...IF you live in a flood zone..

After the hurricanes in Florida, there was a problem on what determines flood damage from water damage caused by wind damage..Some folks had their homes hit and damaged by 2 storms...

Insurance companies screwed the same people paying out the azz to be covered!!!!

As far as "FEMA"....As you wrote the assistance from them in very limited....NOW IT IS!!!!!!! The money wasted in Florida should have been givin to the state..They were the ones that prepared to deal with it and "DID A GREAT JOB WITHOUT THE FEDS" in doing so!!!!

I guess I will continue paying big $$$$$ for coverage that might not be there anyway!!!! But I will pay it to live in "Paradise".....oops offtopic

The trailers....The cost of transporting and setting up is probably more than their worth...IMO dont bring cheap trailors into a hurricane zone...

I wonder what people did after Hurricane Camille and Carla in the 60's when there was no FEMA and hurricane insurance was non existant?

I get the feeling that people are blaming the government for allowing the huricane to hit New Orleans

analogy:

a bull rider gets hurt from bull riding...do you blame the bull for doing what is natural to him? or does the rider take on responsibility for accepting the risks?

Galveston Texas is a good analogy...Havnt heard "What thats gonna cost me!!!!! Lets Stop all coastal development then!!!!!!!!!!! We will put a 500 mile no living zone around the country!!!! If a town is hit a disaster they get just one shot then we close them down...Hell lets use eminent domain and take the property from the people!!!! GAL!!!!!!!!!!
