Just saw a report that trump diverted millions of fema dollars to his wall project. wtf?

The wall might flood.

Yes.

'high ground'. Solves a lot of problems!

Not all though; last time I looked there were still rivers running down mountains.

Yes the water is coming out of rivers and over levies and is flooding all around my home

Thought are with you buddy! Don't wish that on anyone. Stay safe, just remember, it's mostly stuff. Most can be replaced over time. Hopefully pets and heirlooms stay safe.

Good luck!

i've purchased it with every home, i'm in a flood zone. it's mandatory. It's not mandatory if you don't live in a flood zone. That was my point.

Only if you have a mortgage. You can outright own your home and not carry flood insurance in a flood zone.

Sorry to hear, man. I hope your home is high and dry. Since this is the third major flood in three years to hit the Houston metro, what are your longer term plans? Are you going to stay? Up stakes and move? Will the condition of your home be a deciding factor?

Serious questions, brother. I've been in hurricanes and floods, though none as bad as what's unfolding there now. These were all questions I also considered and ultimately I decided to return to Colorado, where I had family- and where floods have the good graces to go away after a few hours!

Yes indeed, and the smart home builder doesn't put the cabin right next to them.

Well i always seem to return to the area because my fam lives there and I was born and raised there but honestly I'd love to abandon that ship for higher ground tired of running but I guess there is natrual desasters anywhere you go

I'll take blizzards over hurricanes anytime. Gives a body a chance to relax and enjoy a slower pace of life for a day or two.
