To be fair, I would prefer to swim in the pool water than the flood water.

3-4" more flooding and there will not be any difference

Why do people still try to live on flood plains?

Why do people still try to live on flood plains?

Because there's no risk. If your shit gets destroyed, it gets bought back for you. We all pay for these people to live in disaster areas. We pay through higher taxes, and higher costs for services. Insurance down there should be affordable only for the rich, and the government shouldn't be building levies, or buying people out when they get displaced.

Irrigation.

Solid gold. And so shines a good post in a weary ATOT.

Because they will get bailed out if disaster strikes even with the insurance situation. The taxpayers will foot the rebuilding bill.

Insurance rates in places like Florida are through the roof anyway. It still does no good. The taxpayers get the bill.

Water looks great considering. Hope they're not running the filter.

This is exactly why. We subsidize the risk.

I must admit, that was the funny of the day for me.

I am guessing the fatty did a cannonball and caused all that flooding.

Well said. This similarly irritates me also.

I wonder how fast they'll pull themselves out when a water moccasin or a nutria slithers in.
