Fourth Hurricane To Hit Louisiana This Year-Why Do They Stay?

[Aunt Marg]

Many homes on the coast are built on pillars. Most of the damage in Louisiana was farther inland.

Thank you for the insight, C'est.

My heart always breaks whenever I see a storm destroy everything people have worked so hard for.

I agree, but it would be impossible to save people from all natural disasters.

I agree, but it would be impossible to save people from all natural disasters.

Indeed, it would be, but just knowing people had a more safe and secure residence to go back to would be such a great thing.

They stay because they can't stand the thought of living "up nawth

I was seeking a proper way of spelling "nawth."

New Orleans area was/is 'soggy.'
Building in a swamp results in a 'soggy environment.'
The Corp of Engineers have rebuilt the levee system-hope it is enough.

Hurricanes in The Gulf of Mexico used to be rear, no longer: six this year, not counting the ones that hit Mexico.

So everyone who lives on the coast is insane?

NO. Just those who rebuild over and over (not just once, over and over) in the same spot they've been flooded out several times in the past.

Roots are a powerful element in the rebuilding (I guess), and economics.

A question, is fed money available-only if you rebuild in the same area?

No answer to question, need those that are involved to explain why?
It has to be economics: fed money?
