3 months agoI like to throw it at them, then sprint away to see if I can make it outside before I get smacked. It’s about 50/50.
My parents don’t have flood insurance, but they live on a hill that’s about 150ft above the surrounding fields, and roughly 200-250ft above the closest waterway. If their house floods, then society has effectively collapsed in their state.
My sister and in-laws, however, all live within eyesight of the closest river or stream, and maybe 25-50ft above water level inside valleys. My wife’s sister’s house has had water get up to about 10ft away from the house, and STILL nobody has flood insurance.
SOME people can get away with it. Most can’t and don’t even realize it.
