We have areas here on the Texas gulf coast that get wiped out in every storm, then the tax payer have to foot the bill for rebuilding the homes that any fool knows should not have been built in the first place.

These little barrier islands really should not be built up. But if they are then tax money should not be used to rebuild. 6k for windstorm is a great deal. Rebuild will cost tax payer about 250,000k / house.

Happily it looks like the folks living there were smart enough to leave, looking at the map I'd say the island is maybe 5 or 6 feet above sea level.
