Flooding
Many years ago I bought a house from a Priest.....At the "closing"
the Priest was asked if the house was in a "flood plain".....He
said that since he had it on the word of Moses, it was not.....And
it wasn't.....(There is a joke in there somewhere.)....
Well, New Orleans, New England and New Jersey have had their
share of flooding......Having lived in the latter two, I can attest
to the fact that the same towns flooded today have flooded in the
past.....A close friend of mine has said that New Orleans always
was prone to flooding.....
What you are hearing on TV today, from the people living in
the flooded areas is -- "We never expected it to go this high."
I guess there must be a flood plain tolerance......Pumps

Almost as good as the farmer in Missouri River Valley about 10 years ago. His house was up to the roof in water, but 100 feet above on the hill, his garage and barn were just fine. Why not build the house on the hill too?
