Should the FEMA be giving money to private citizens to rebuild their houses on a flood plane? No! FEMA should not be giving any money to anyone. That money is not their money, it came from tax payers to run the Government, not bail out private citizens.
FEMA doesn't want to pay to rebuild a property when it gets flooded again during the next mega storm.
That said, I would rather the Gubment give money to our citizens rather than Ukraine and the hoards of illegal aliens pouring over the boarder. But the Gubment has no right to do any of those things.
The mountains are not a flood plain they're a watershed. Floodplains pertain to areas near rivers (like riparian zone) where water cannot flow, such as flatlands and/or close to sea level. Rivers begin in the mountains and flow to sea, generally speaking. The french broad of NC becomes the broad river in SC after a few reservoirs and dams, and then joins the congaree to become the saluda in columbia sc and flows out to sea.
The reason this helene is an issue is because it's one in a thousand plus year event where more water was dumped on the mountains at one time than is dropped in toto onto those mountains in 3 yrs
