I've been reading about the flooding in NoDak. One example was a man who was sand-bagging his home, 15' from the Red River.
Ok...now this river has flooded, to some degree, each and every spring since the birth of the river.
Why do people still live so close to such a known and regular threat?
I mean, is the insurance pay back that good to risk your home?
I don't understand why people in other places catch crap for living in a danger area, i.e the Ninth Ward in LA comes to mind first off, and these people do not.
Why go thru this every year when a move of 1/2 or so would solve it?
