Heavy rainfall and flash flooding across the islands left several homes on Maui with extensive damage on Monday and Tuesday. Entire homes and properties were gone in minutes. For the Alexander family, they say they lost everything.
i guess im asking the wrong place but does someone know a method to log back into an Instagram account?? I somehow forgot the account password. I love any tips you can give me!
@Ryan Winston thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
Flood insurance - in Hawaii you have to pay each year all at once and it is totally 100% separate from homeowners insurance and it is a national/federal agency thing.
Many times the Insurance Company doesn't provide flood insurance. I owned a rental home in L.A. once and Allstate told me they no longer insured rental homes with earthquake insurance which is a separate rider. I had to find another Insurer.
He knew it was a flood plain area. He probably declined to get flood insurance. It was probably too expensive. That's why he probably paid a low amount for his property. People take chances and sometimes they lose.
If you live in Hawai’i and we’re flooded out, use TSP (trisodium phosphate) powder to inhibit mold growth on every surface. Ace Hardware sells it. Mold is a killer and this may save a life!
The new Infrastructure Bill will have some impact on expediting relief to families experiencing dire hardship because of climate change and weather related disasters.
This may sounds cliche but God is going to make a way out of no way. He said behold I will do a new thing. All hope is not lost. If there is life there is hope. May God restore to this family seven folds of all that has been lost. The devil did not win over Job, he was defeated but Job was faithful unto God. This man has faith that he will make it. He will in Jesus name. God is going to show Himself strong in his situation. Do it for them Holy Spirit 🙏
In Indonesia there are tens of thousands affected by floods many times each year, but the reas affected are getting bigger & being affected more often. They just try to elevate what can't be washed, eg. Electrical & Food.
Aloha. We were married in 98 on Maui. Been many times. I’ve shared this on my Facebook here in SoCal. If someone could share the Gofundme link that would be great. Mahalo nui.
Insurance companies laugh at this... all the way to the bank with our hard earned premiums... and the fact the feds made it a law about flood insurance being fully separate policy shows you whos side they are on
Living near a river should have required flood insurance. It may look placid 99% of the time, they are in essence culverts. If your home is within 200 feet of it this might happen to you. Maui for decades has had pretty lax building code when it comes to flood risk. Really truth be told an island that could be hit by hurricanes needs to mandate flood insurance. FEMA has been crippled and doesn’t really work with local and state agencies to reduce risks like this. It shouldn’t happen to anyone.
It's unfortunate that most homeowner policies don't have flood insurance in them. It's only covered like if the washing machine or indoor plumbing overflows. For any kind of other flood, you have to pay extra for that insurance and it comes from a specific company. One of the best things you can do is make sure any property you buy has less than a 3/10 flood chance on flood maps.
I really hate to see someones hard work be destroyed like this. Depending on how you look at it, lenders only require flood insurance in high risk flood areas. This area was probably not one of those high risk areas. I complain about having to pay hurricane insurance because kona hasn't had a hurricane but weather is changing and every year the hurricanes come closer and closer. If you live in low lying area or an area that has a small stream, you might want to reconsider buying flood insurance.
As global warming progresses and the polar ice caps and glaciers continue to melt, we will see more and more of this flooding throughout the islands and throughout the world. Be prepared, get prepared and remain prepared and vigilant!!! Mercy and prayers to all affected.
The law of having to pay homeowners insurance should be eliminated they don’t pay do the tragedy’s they take your money then they are no ware to be found they make billions then screw you states should hold them accountable but they don’t take action
It can be habitable again, but not until after all of the mud is cleaned out and the walls dried out. That requires a lot of physical effort, time and money.
Insurance is a freaking scam. Everything paid for home insurance should accessible for when its needed (based off what the individual has put in). Covered or not. Its your damn money. Playing off peoples fear of the unknown but then having the stones to tell you what they will or won't let you do with what you've contributed.
His spirit does not surprise me. I went out there three years ago and the people who are from there have THE BEST vibes ive been around when traveling. That insurance shit doesn’t surprise me either. This world is greedy and cold
The worst part, is that this flood is happening during the COVID pandemic. Resources in the mainland United States are stretched thin. Hopefully, FEMA will be able to help these Hawaiians.
I used to own a house I don't own one no more I don't even own a car I don't want one these insurance companies want you to get insurance and then they don't want to pay out and there should be a law against that and with these floodings it's going if it's not going to happen there it's going to happen somewhere else it's a cycle that's the way it is I'm from California but I live in Iowa now I went from the fires earthquakes and floods there now I live in Iowa where it rains a lot things do flood not that bad but we have to tornadoes sometimes not too close to this town and then we got the snow I've been here for over 20 years I've also lived in Oregon with a lot of snow and a lot of rain so if it's just not going to happen it's going to happen anywhere it's just unfortunately it happened in Hawaii I'm praying for these people they don't deserve that but they better be prepared for the next one to come along cuz it's going to happen we can't stop it it's going to have to build better houses
