Almost 10 years ago Sandy happened, and nothing has changed in terms of management, and infrastructure. My family home looked like that during Sandy. My family evacuated that day, and it was a terrible experience to deal with insurance companies, greedy contractors, and just having to let go of items that had sentimental value such as taped interviews and pictures with my dance teachers. They were irreplaceable since they are no longer with us. I do understand what these people are going through. I hope them the best of luck and make sure you do good research on who you hire for fixing your home. Make sure they have a license to work in your state and preferably from your state and not from out of town. Document everything, and don't sign anything unless you understand the contracts. Make sure they can't put a lend on your house whenever they want.

after hurricane Katrina, lawsuits were filed against all the insurance companies.
forcing them to add language about mold, flood and types of wind damage.
Going to be interesting to see how many lawsuits are filed in the coming weeks, months or year?

I grew up in the tropics and all the houses were elevated (essentially built on stilts) because of the monsoon rains. Nobody lived on the first floor.
It looks like with climate change, this is one of the costs - nobody lives on the first floor, for those living near sea level or has poor drainage (near the water table). If you do so, you do it at your own peril.
Note: most insurance do not cover floods that occur over land, such as this, anyways.

You ever wonder if the fallout of disasters are made worse deliberately?
Prayers to all in crisis. We love all of you.

[AngeKiwi]

Oh, infrastructure huh?
Who'd have thought.

[carleneclark]

Really! We Americans are still dealing with infrastructure problems. We can put numerous new administrations into the White House but can’t get them to fixed what is Broken in this Country .

[xxnikexx]

The US infrastructure is definitely not prepared for these kinds of storms. I mean the infrastructure overall is hundreds of years outdated.

[youngmeloisascammer]

This is horrible please move out ain't worth losing and having to rebuild over again smh praying for everyone out there🙏🖤

[deborahfreedman]

Gee, when they show a west coast home, destroyed by fire or quakes, someone always writes "Why would anyone build there?" Where are the questions about the advisability of building along the Atlantic ocean?

[christophpaessler]

I couldn t see the water lines quite well! Shouldn t the walls still be soaked up to a certain level?

[evocatimedia]

Homeless people: R.I.P.
Illegal immigrants: R.I.P.
Payed by hour people: R.IP.
Evicted people: R.I.P.
It’s the most wonderful time of the year….

…. to EVICT people.

[Jack-fosu]

Oh no this is bad and it keeps happening more frequently

[shohelihossain]

[sheilagraves]

If you’re going to report about or live in a particular area, take the time to learn how to pronounce the cities’ names. Or just ask someone for Pete’s sake!!!

[rickyjones]

And they say climate change doesn't exist
