Pretty much, yeah. The famous Florida author
John D McDonald used to marvel at people
who built condo's on the keys in the Gulf, only
to have them react in utter amazement when
a hurricane washed them away 20 years later.
What, they have hurricanes in the Keys??

Stupid id as stupid does.

This isn't beachfront property. Inland neighborhoods never before flooded are underwater. Ignorance!

I find the cavalier attitude by conservatives on this board towards Americans that are suffering due to the floods totally disgusts me

You mean people thought it would never
happen? Just look back to the early 1900's.
Ignorance is correct.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

It's not conservative. It's ignorant.

This thing is huge but not so big that it cannot be handled.


Even if people did the minimum proper thing, their 3 day supply of water is out. And their minimal food supply is probably dwindling.

Even in minor flooded, delivery trucks may not get in. If Stores have no supplies, they can't sell.

Electricity has already been off for days. And likely no one is repairing it either

So, even people in minor flooded areas are shut down for days.

Misery index is likely pretty high.

And that's not even in the worse areas.

Also in a flood, you don't need a road covered with water to halt incoming traffic --- just low lying areas in spots you can't cross messes up miles of available road.

I thought that was a suggestion rather than an insult.
