Katrina Storm Damage Not So Bad! :)

oh, yes , of course! 25 billion dollars from the insurance companies :D

GregB, You felt as if I came here and insulted people?? That is nearly as funny as the rest of your post.

I'm still trying to get over my "newbie" post count so you may have to excuse my opinion, as I have yours.

And again you are right , I have NO idea how many disasters you have been through. But as someone who has been "fighting disasters when you were home trying to figure out if your He Man toys could fuckin' talk." it might be considered by some a bit early to try and asses damage.

The inital reports on Andrew were very optomistic as well. And I know how long the effects of that lasted. I was there for the clean up, and the repair that was done. As well as the multiple huricanes that hit central florida last year.

As for my age, if what you say is true, you daddy was carving your toys from the wood of a fallen tree. but none of that is important.

You felt insulted and got emotional I understand so I'll extend you the same courtesy as you have others and just say "Fuck You" once and be done with it.

Yes!!!! if it were only that simple. If you lose your home in a situation like this. You may eventually obtain a check from your insurance company to assist you in getting back on your feet. The part most people who do not live in an area like this will not understand. ( and rightfully so, they don't have to deal with it or live it) is the effect this will have on insurance rates for DECADES to come. As anyone in south florida or central florida or a low area in the sunshine state will tell you. Homeowners insurance is no picnic to deal with, and flood insurance is just as bad. They are not the easiest to obtain at times and can be expensive as hell. Many companies simply will not write you a policy, and the ones that will ( alot of the time) are very costly or second rate. I hope everyone involved had flood insurance, because it appears from alot of photo's that flooding caused a ton of damage.

Yep Glad to see things are " not so bad ".

Well at least it's not tens of thousands dead as predicted.

That's the only thing that really matters.

Yeah it's fucked up with a capital UP but even if the toll was 2 or 3 thousand dead it's no fucking way near what they had predicted for destruction.

Back in late 1800's or early, early 1900s a hurrican hit Texas. 8,000 died. They had no clue a hurricane was coming.

With today's technology we can get very, very, close to predictions but still it's down to the last few minutes.
