If they were insured, they should be ok. Pretty damn risky place to live. If they weren't insured, please don't expect my sympathies for their economic plight.
alot of poor fisherman, shrimpers down there. Doubt they were insured for anything much. Cameron is a poor parish.
think about long island for a minute. while development on the barrier islands is limited (to a degree). the value of the properties all along the great south bay, and out to the Hamptons and Montauk is staggering.
