he also said "I never seen anything like it" which mean that it was the first time he experienced the flood to rise that high? plus insurances in flood prone areas are expensive! not everyone can afford to pay that high monthly.
recently i saw news a lot of insurers are not renewing with flood victims, because they do their risk analysis and know the flooding will be come more and more frequent due to climate and it will not be wise to insure those homes in flood prone areas.
@@persona5305 then they can change their furniture and household appliances yearly..after getting damaged by another and another flood.. dun trust in those "once in a `100 years flood" the next one wont be 10 years from now, more like 10 months from now..
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know of a trick to log back into an Instagram account?? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would love any tips you can offer me!
@Marcelo Cade thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site on google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later with my results.
That's a noice (Nice) 👍🏼👍🏼 makshift border wall around the property.... Gotta make sure the un-wanted flood doesn't cross the wall so the worse doesn't happen.
If you make the mistake of buying a home in a flood plain you can raise the structure like house movers do using steel beams and jacks, then support it as you prefer. I'd buy the steel surplus which is where many house movers get theirs and permanently attach the lifting frame etc to the home and to steel posts in the ground potted in concrete. For older smaller homes and of course trailers that's well in DIY range for many people. Steel beam BTW makes a dandy concrete slab form/foundation combo because you don't need to waste money on wooden forms and can weld or bolt beams together as a box (I used stick welding which needs nothing fancy), add whatever features you want then pour the slab. Your foundation now has a beam perimeter far stronger than concrete you can bolt and weld to.
I lived in a town in Alabama and every home in my development was built 5 feet above street level with tapered yards. I assume the idea was to protect the structure from flooding given the area was so flat.
It's like folks who say and fight for their homes during wildfires..be properly prepared and have escape plan and you stand a good chance of success..only those who succeed are those who never give up!!.❤️🙏🇺🇸
With incidences of events like this happening. Their premium would sky rocket at the level the insurance desires. This ppl doesn’t seem rich enough to afford. A monthly or annual payment so high. We’re talking in thousands not hundreds. It’s a house not a car…
*pours a glass of water and puts a pot of flowers next to it* (as I pour the glass into the pot) result: whole city screams and goes wild calling me a crazy person, swearing while saying run
I just want to make it big announcement actually it's not surprising period of planet Earth is overheating I repeat planet Earth is overheating. Carbon dioxide emissions released by the burning of coal oil and natural gas since the start of the Industrial Revolution has been increasing rapidly over the last 20 to 30 years. The carbon dioxide emissions is a function of a rapid increase in global population. A rapidly increase in global population demands more energy and of course the burning of coal oil and natural gas is that energy. As more carbon dioxide is pushed into the atmosphere on a yearly basis it is accumulating and increasing at an incredible rapid rate. Carbon dioxide regulates I repeat regulates the temperature of the Earth. Some quantity of carbon dioxide even before the start of the Industrial Revolution is in the atmosphere. If carbon dioxide did not exist the entire planet would plunge into a permanent snowball Earth Ice Age. But there is a certain amount of carbon dioxide that makes life unearth habitable. For the last 10,000 years the atmosphere has been stable. It's allowed life on Earth to flourish. But humans are burning ancient carbon dioxide that was released by volcanic activity 55 million years ago to such a huge quantity that it actually pushed Earth into a mass extinction. Humans are burning that coal oil and natural gas and releasing that ancient carbon dioxide. When carbon dioxide traps heat in the atmosphere it makes the atmosphere of warm substantially! However always remember this 90% of all the heat that is in the atmosphere is a thermally forced into the world's oceans. Last year was the highest thermal uptake of heat energy by the world's oceans. Equivalent of 17 * 10 to the 22nd Jewels heat energy or equivalent of five Hiroshima thermal nuclear bombs per second is being absorbed. This is causing water vapor to evaporate an increasing volume into the atmosphere. A warmer more water vapor. The scientific consensus is for every one degree of surface temperature increase, 7% more moisture is evaporated into the global atmosphere. So expect to see larger floods in the future, larger and more intense and possibly deadly heat waves and in certain areas of planet Earth major historic drought. All these conditions that I'm describing were calculated on advanced physics formulas 40 years ago by Chief scientist James Hansen and his support scientist.
why dun ppl flood proof their homes? water tight windows, water tight doors, so that even if the water is 2m high and it reach 3/4 of their front door, as long as you dun open it, the water is outside. have enough food, water, fuel/power (solar?) or diesel generators to last 4 weeks..
@@wientz a boat floats.. a water proof house don't it's just a sealed aquarium when the water goes to 2m or 3m high.. the air is still allowed in and out from the top of the house though.. to allow diesel generator to run and not fill the inside with smoke.. for power when the power lines go down .. it's costly to do so .. water proofing . But so is replacing your furniture and all the mud that goes into the house if you dun do so.
@@VivaLaPigotry Maybe because 20 or 30 years ago, these flood plains wasn't flooding as often and the land near "beautiful rivers" and such was a valuable property to develop homes with back then. Now that it is known to be Freq flood zones.. insurers are all scrambling to not insure those homes and the value of property there will drop. So if you can move out . Else then invest $$ to prevent floods even if it makes your homes look a bit "ugly", build high walls around 3 of the 4 sides and leaving 1 side open makes it easier to sand bag 1 side when impending flood alert comes.. or making your home water tight.. you just have to improvise if you have to continue living there You cannot assume I will just clean up, re-purchase all those destroyed furniture.. and it will be okay.. because the water will be back..and more often then you think.
