    Agreed, it's the older homes/trailer homes at most risk. Not just flooding, but high winds and tornadoes.

    Most poor people have no place to go. They, like the homeless (Bullet Bob) will shelter in place and hope for the best.

    Not only that, but a pay-out from the government to get a different one. Reichwingers will be queuing up with their hands out, cursing Biden for sending aid too slowly, and blaming everyone but themselves. Wait for it. lol

    Sounds about right; those who bitch the most about government handouts are often the first in line for their piece of the pie.

    He realizes the dangers. Lig appears to be in deep denial.

    I have to go help my neighbor for a bit. Watching Fort Myers flood on CNN at the moment.

    Mr. Owl was just watching that as well.

    There are lots of these loons who have no life but trolling on an obscure political forum, day and night.

    It’s been observed before that these slugs have a lonely life and live in obscurity, but it’s a fact of life.

    It’s 70 degrees with low humidity and blue skies in the ATL area. We are forecast for a few showers on Friday. We dodged a bullet.

    That is evidenced by the post counts. There is more to it than leading reclusive lives. There is some anger and serious psychopathy involved.

    It's 74 here now. We will get rain tomorrow in NE Florida. Friday, Sat and Sun are forecast to be sunny and around 80ish. Perfect weather.

    Extreme isolation and exclusivity can lead to some nasty psychological problems.

    My brother is a psychologist (anecdotal, I know, but true) and he has patients who are reclusive and some who are actually afraid to leave their homes. One has not left her home in years.

    You long time Floridians are pioneer stock. I don’t know about the snowbirds. They are probably fleeing to high ground.

    Stay safe and of course, this will pass in a few days.
