I know six familys that have been have been flooded out by the hurricans, two in Mississippi three in LA and one in Texas.
Here are their stories in MS the two familys are related both live about 3 blocks from the beach both are well off ones a doctor, ones a well I wont say because it would give away who they are I will say I have seen him on CNN several times, they both make alot of money. One family has a condo in FL both drive expensive cars BMWs and the like. They did get their families out but lost their expensive houses to flood waters, neither had flood ins. thought it was too expensive yet they could afford $40,000 cars and $175,000 condos.
Next LA, two of the families that lost out had realatives that ask them to come stay with them before the hurricans hit and offered to drive down and get them but they refused saying they had lived there all their lives and were not going to leave, yet when the floods hit they blamed Bush and the federal government for not being there to help them and are saying things like Bush wants us poor people to die he hates poor people and blacks. Neither of these familys had any type of Ins. at all because their houses were paid for.
The third family once again had a place to go but chose not to did not have flood Ins. but are at least not blameing anyone or asking for a government bailout.
The last family in TX, a middle class family they had flood Ins. even though it was a pain and they could have spent the money on other things, they got out of the area, went to see family in other states. They packed up the items that could not be replaced like pictures and such. While this has been a pain in the rear for them they are not destroyed by it.
While I only Know the stories of these six families and I do feel sorry for them. I do not understand how we the people of the rest of the country should have to pay for any of their losses. Each family through its own action or lack of action got itself in its situation good or bad.
