I have sympathy for those about to lose their homes. But doesn’t this happen about every spring? It’s a shame this cannot be prevented.

Been living near Bayou Lafourche most of my life. Bayou Lafourche rarely floods in the spring. The worst was the great flood of 73, then tropical storm Juan in 85, and now.

This is the worst flood in ages around here. I’ve heard a lot of people who weren’t considered to be in flood zones and didn’t get flood insurance are watching their homes flood. The last time there was flooding on this scale was in the early 90’s, but I don’t think that even compared to what is happening now.

Democrats in charge, voted in were given funds years ago to stop gap these events. They spent the money to build casinos, convincing themselves that they would use the revenue and profits to fix the water, flooding problems. But the revenue found its way into politicians freezers instead. I feel for the Republicans caught in this but not so much for the dopes who elect these thieves and then abdicate their duty as a citizen to manage those WHO WORK FOR THEM!
