Some folks think that just a tropical storm is no big deal compared to a hurricane, but they are causin' a lot of floodin' in some areas. You just can't help feelin' bad for the folks that get flooded over and over again. I guess it's the price we pay for livin' in paradise.

Yeah I here that Cricket!!

We too have it in parts of the country thats prone to frequent flooding.  

Just as they've recovered from the last flood, and gone through months upon months of drying out the walls+floor, replastering etc., let alone not being able to live your own home for so long...It happens to them all over again!!! 

It must be just heartbreaking to have it happen to your home once, I can't imagine how they must feel to go through the trauma all over again!

Some of the affected areas cannot get any kind of home insurance, not at any price!! Though I think the govt. IS actually addressing some of that NOW... But only after years and years of repetition...

You gotta feel for them poor souls, and all the wildlife too...

Yep, it's heartbreakin' to get flooded out again and again, but you know what? Folks down here in La. will ALWAYS stay put and just fix things up and keep on goin'. They'd rather flood every month than leave this area. Once it gets it's hooks in ya, you're here for the long haul. Floodin' is just a part of life down here.

BTW, I'm still dry and able to avoid that damn mud puddle so far. Funny tho, the storm is gone from my area, but we just had the hardest rain in a good while. Go figure

Stay high and dry my friends.
