Part of me wonders whether they ever should rebuild some of these areas. New Jersey has a number of developed places where you couldn’t build anything under today’s restrictions related to flood plains.
Code in Florida requires homes built to withstand 120 mph winds. Not much you can do to avoid water damage except to elevate the home.
That question was asked often about parts of New Orleans after Katrina.
what is stupid is the govmint is gonna pay these people to rebuild on the same spot.
And peeples don’t understand the prob with dat.
Any one that builds in a designated flood plain deserved what they get....in the old days (i am old) you checked with the township hall before buying land to see if it was a flood plain...they call it that for a reason...
One of my son’s picked a beautiful piece of land to build a home...told him to check.....yep, flood plain, thats why it was vacant...
