..or something along the lines of what the Fed did with the repeat offenders along the Missippi River. Don't have the specifics but it was pretty much, "we paid you this time. Should you decide to move back in / rebuild in a known flood plain - you do it at your own financial risk. We - the Fed - will give you no more money.
Small victory for the US taxpayer!!!!
CNN (I know) - can't get Fox at work - they had an interview with "Joe Property Owner" yesterday or this morning.....
Reporter, "You knew this was a high risk area for fires, yet you bought a house?"
Not so Proud new Owner of an ash heap, "Well, I knew they had fires here but after looling at last years fire path we decided that this area would be pretty much safe because it had been recently burned."
actual interview words - sorry did not record / write down, this is just a summary.
Just plain...Doh!!!
Mother Nature - 1.
Clueless morons - 0.
