    For the insurance to pay, the cars will be totaled which requires a "salvage" Texas retitle. What the skunks do is go to a state which does not require the salvage to be stated on the new title. Whenever you buy a used car, it's a good idea to inspect the undercarriage and wiring for corrosion. And yes, Houston actually has about 8 times the population of pre-Katrina NO, which is less now.

    Can you learn the truth on carfax, or can it be hidden from them, too?

  3. Perhaps this kind of areas is not habitable at all. whatever serious infrastructure could be waste of money.

    This kind of areas could serve mainly two purposes.

    1. Tourism - therefore people go there and live there only for seasonable leisure purpose.

    Whenever any alert of extreme weather, or over the whole period based on weather forecasting, all people basically tourists with such as caravans or camping should simply leave the whole area. Mobile food trucks also leave.

    Damage of lives and assets that are specially designed, such as highly robust structured building as entertainment/shopping center, and built for encountering similar extreme weather could be kept to minimum.

    The city planner should not approve anything else. No insurance would be provided for non-approval buildings.


    2. Energy Industry - They are wealthy industry, therefore they know how to protect their assets through specially designed and built structures that can be recovered easily after extreme weather. And minimum damages should be guaranteed and undertaken by the industries for human lives.

    carfax should pick up the salvage title unless they took the car straight to the new state with the old title

  5. I sure hope that we don't start getting reports of FEMA camps and of the federal government executing people as they did after Katrina, according to Cynthia McKinney.

    Be vigilant against that everyone. Sometimes the libs get messages with information from the Mothership circling the Hale Bopp Comet that the rest of us don't have access to.

  7. Yeh, no lie there.

    Something is not right in that district in Georgia that Cynthia McKinney represented. She was eventually beat in a primary by Hank Johnson- the guy that was afraid that Guam would tip over. Man, the voters there are so stupid it hurts to even think about it and Hank Johnson is still in Congress "providing leadership" to counter Trump.

    I wonder what the admiral said when he went home and the wife asked him how his day went. And of course he has been re-elected a couple times over since then.

    No cure for stupid.

    I heard on CNN that far fewer white people had their homes flooded than black people in Houston.

    That is just so unfair.

    It might be sensible for the house builders to put new houses up on stilts in the regularly flooded areas. Car ports beneath perhaps.
    Or build a waterproof wall around the house. Small pumps could easily deal with any seepage.
    Not rocket science !!
    Only a damn fool builds on regular flooded areas. Bigger fools buy them.
