I know, it's tragic. People doing what they are told and what they are supposed to do. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling that when it comes to helping out with re-location, etc. these are the people that will be told they are too well off for help, or there is no more room for them.
If they had hurricane insurance on their homes, I wonder if that covers the loss, or is this considered a flood? I think our deductible for our insurance for hurricanes is about 2% of the value of the house. I think it runs between 2% and 5% depending on the insurance.
