I've seen this guy on tv once or twice. As a public service the government needs to waterboard him and see if he'll admit he is a phony.
Odd. Apparently Texas' secretary of state is declining offers of aid. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/quebec-offers-aid-texas-hurricane-harvey-1.4267387
Yeah, that's strange, considering their governor accepted aid from Mexico. Politically, you'd think aid from Canada would be easier to accept than aid from Mexico (though, ideally, of course, politics wouldn't enter into it at all and hopefully isn't).
But they bought or moved into them knowing the flood zone and insurance( or lack of) implications I would hope. I mean before I bought my first house it was common sense to me just not to buy in a flood zone and if I had found a house in a flood zone we liked, If I couldn't get insurance, I wouldn't buy/move in at all. Seems like common sense to me, just sayin.
And hey MM, Continuing to hope for the best for you. Really happy you haven't lost signal and can still get online. Im sure many of our thoughts would go fairly dark if you disappeared from here.
Irma has the potential to be much worse, just because it could hit Tampa, Miami, Savannah, or New York City as a Cat 4. Might not be as devastating, but it has the potential to be worse.
Models have shifted east. Looking closer to 50/50 now. Her eye just cleared out big time though. Thing probably just rapidly intensified to a 4.
Has to be at least an 8 for Trump to notice. Just a little Trump humor because I know you need that right now. barfo
It will be the biggest most deadliest in the history of the world. There, now let's move on to actual damaging storms
I think you are right. I heard only the government sells flood insurance, but I don't know it for fact, but it seems logical.
I have no idea what you guys are trying to say. The government does set rates and accept the risk for flood insurance, to both people in flood plains, and people out of flood plains. The insurance is actually (a) heavily subsidized by taxpayers, and (b) managed by insurance companies, who make a profit on it but take no risk. It's kind of a horrible deal for those of us who don't live in flood-prone areas, because our subsidies actually encourage building in flood-prone areas. And we end up bailing out homeowners who don't buy the flood insurance, in addition to providing the benefits to those who do. barfo
In the future, infrastructure may require building a lot of canals like Venice in New Orleans and Texas.....where are the Romans when you need them!!!!
