They flooded during Katrina ... rebuilt their PRIVATE levee and then rebuilt their homes.
Looks like their calculated risk didn't pay off ... sure hope they don't expect fedzilla to bail them out again.
Lord have mercy! What in the world did our pioneer ancestors do when they were in the wagon trains traveling west, with floods, Indian attacks, wagon wheels falling off, muddy trails, disease, dysentery and death? There were no “mental health workers and psychologists and psychiatrists” on whose shoulders they could cry. No “gubmint program” and National guard to come and put down sandbags and levees to stop the floods, or to repair the muddy, rutted out roads, repair and change wagon wheels, or to fight the Indians, health care workers to treat the sick, or morticians to take care of burials in a “sensitive” manner. - My grandfather, back during the Great Depression, was an Appalachian MAN who hollowed out bee gum logs to serve as caskets for his family and neighbors and treated his neighbors with roots and herbs when they were sick. Back then, you either got sick and died or else got old and died with all sorts of rheumatiz and arthritis.
Wake up people before the Obamassiah turns us into a bunch of weenies.
