What instrument does she play??
This is a great idea. I think it's foolish to ever depend on the government for anything. And its even more foolish for anyone to sit around waiting for government to help. People generally do a good job of helping each other out in time of crisis. It's even more important for people to prepare for whatever type of disaster that is most likely to happen in their area.
I agree..unfortunately even those folks that prepared got wiped out..I can't imagine..
I feel for anyone that loses everything in any kind of disaster. Prepping starts long before the disaster hits. Even before buying the property or building on it. When we lived up north we had a storm that dropped 7 feet of snow in one day, on top of the several feet of snow already on the ground. Then we had 3 inches of freezing rain on top of that. Lots of buildings, homes and some school building collapsed. When it melted we had a lot of flooding, with massive ice jams. When it was all over FEMA was going around writting checks to everyone that had any damage. Of course we didn't get any FEMA handouts. Even though our property flooded we didn't have any damage, except to fences and timber. I built our house, barn and other buildings on high ground, our driveway was an old logging road that was built 100 years ago on high ground. All of the trees that came down was either cut for fire wood, was sold to area mills, or went through my saw mill. A few years ago a fire burned about 300,000 acres. We had a property right in the middle of that fire. Every tree, stick and blade of grass was burned. Never saw FEMA. We lost a lot of valuable timber in that fire.
Or maybe you feel "pooped" out!!
You know that kind of day ..people are better not to p**** me offOr maybe you feel "pooped" out!!
and I mean it 
I don't think many folks will be able to rebuild in many places and while these areas haven't flooded like this in a few hundred years, I do hope folks anywhere rethinks about where they rebuild.
have you ever been to NC? It rains there all the time, that's whey they call it Smokey Mountains, because of the fog and clouds. People got wiped out that lived somewhat near little creeks, not even rivers. A lot of them did not live anywhere near flood prone areas. The floods wiped out interstates. The rain caused mudslides in the mountains
Of course I've been to NC. My ancestors are from that part of the country. Floods happen, some every year, some on a 100 - 500 year cycle. Yes, it's impossible to predict these big floods, but everyone knows they will happen, just a matter of time. Same with our big fires out here, fires happen every year, and some are massive. They hit different areas at different times. When they burn through a person's property and destroy everything they own, it's no less devastating than a flood. A few years ago I lost a large chunk of timber land to fire.
