NC was not a flood zone. Once in a millennium event. And I wonder if the dam was opened too wide on purpose. Looking at the before video, the area looked idyllic.
Hmm, so fema doesn't have any money to help the victims but does have money for illegals And to buy properties so that they can leave the lots vacant. 🤔
The prospect of repeatedly having to rebuild properties in storm-prone areas has led some governments to pursue an unusual solution to the problem: buy the properties themselves. Some local governments, in partnership with federal agencies such as the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), have developed programs that use disaster relief funds to purchase homes in flood- or storm-prone areas. This isn't the only way, or even the best way, to reduce the destruction from increasingly severe natural catastrophes. But the idea is that keeping such vulnerable properties vacant will save money in the long run because they won't need to be continually rebuilt after storms.
A bit misleading on one point. Harris county is where Houston is. If you don't know, Houston was built in and on top of swamp lands. We learned back in the 90s that our rapid growth, was starting to cause flooding. Houston has very little zoning when you consider what a big city it is. These areas that they're referring to have and will always be a swamp. Far cheaper for everyone to buy the people & businesses out than to keep paying over and over again to restore them after nature wipes them out. As far as I know, the county pays market value and long before this even occurs, the insurance companies have been raising the rates for flood insurance, for good reason, so these folks have little reason to stay. Nature will not change and eventually they won't be able to by flood insurance.
THATS WHY THEY WANT YOU TO SIGN UP WITH THEM!
LITTLE FXCKERS!
And the best reason to ignore their requests!
Agree!
F.E.M.A = Fucking, Every, Moral, American,
