About The Author
I've lived in my house for 30 years but offer me enough $$$ for it and I'll sell it in heartbeat! Not taking anything when we croak so why not live it up while we can? 😁
Yall need to make house boats and float 🎉
Why “do we all pay” for some home owners poor judgement and stubbornness?
This is a prime example of why more people need to get more prepared and think about "Emergency Preparedness Management" for both your home and vehicles. I am a YouTuber under my Full-Name with the same profile picture as this post with 56 videos covering 32 different category "Adulting 101" topic subjects sharing my personal knowledge and experiences with others to help others improve their overall adult lives. I've got videos on building yourself a high quality 24-72 Hour Survival Bug Out Bags, Home and Vehicle Preparedness and Readiness advice videos, several Financial Literacy advice videos, 15 Cooking Creation Recipes videos, and more!
So Rodriguez' home has been flooded on average every other year since the buyout offer…but he keeps living there? What's wrong with these people?
The federal government needs to get out of the flood insurance business.
“Once every 100 years flood” yea, my arse. It’s called climate change trumpies
Red states cause their problems, but then want Democrat policies to fix them.
Luckily, the wealthy have lower taxes.
Nice job,Comrades. 😐
If you choose to it live in a flood plain. That is your choice. I know the water can be beautiful and relaxing when it's not flooding your house. But as a taxpayer, my taxpayer dollars should not go to you rebuilding your house in the same flood plain if it's damaged.
It’s not a politician’s problem when folks keep building near water – that’s a people problem ! But then when all hell breaks loose – now it’s a politician problem 🤔 people keep building in flood areas & we all pay the price 😢
No taxpayers money to the idiots. Move to Oklahoma LOL
I'm sure trump and fElon will be right there to help you all out . .
Oh, but we've been reassured by the 'stable genius' in the WH that climate change is just a hoax and consequently we have no need of FEMA. Many of those who support this misconception live in the flat, flooding midwest farm belt. Good luck with that!
GET FISHING BOOTS. MOP AND BUCKET. GET READY FOR HURRICANE SEASON. JUNE 1ST.
Build different houses. Please
By the way I live within sight of the San Andreas fault . There’s a minor fault line running right through the middle of my house. There’s house squeaks often with minor tremors. Hindsight is 20/20
The best thing I can do for humanity is build better houses and communities. Somewhere in me is the Freemason that builds thinks that don’t fall down.
Water don’t care. Ask the Grand Canyon
Yeah climate change is a hoax and these are paid actors
Nice climate on the Denial River.
Global warming has caused terrible problems around the world. Mankind has to grow up and eliminate the causes of these disasters. There are two major problems in America and around the world; they are extreme materialism and any form of prejudice.
american law allows to build houses in floodplains? Thats crazy…
Indigenous people learned to live with nature rather than against it by not living or building in potentially flooding areas. It's arrogant ignorance on the part of humans who refuse to evolve with basic common sense.
Who the hell sold them the homes ??? If they knew they get flooded
And now because of trump we can have a lot more s*** in the water
0:08 why you got to be pretty stupid to live in a floodplain that's for sure
FAKE NEWS!!!
Trump said climate change isn't really.
Duh!
😂
So great we have a government which looks after its citizens…oh wait, never mind.
