lol the sad part is i am sure there someone somewhere that agrees and wants to make it happen..... in this day in age you never know lol
I don't agree flooding is horrible. It's mother natures way of washing out the old, and adding new nutrients back into the ground. What's horrible is that we allow building and people to live in flood areas, we've dammed our rivers and generally messed with the way nature had intended things to flow.
Yes, but everyone has to live somewhere. Unfortunately there is the potential for natural disasters everywhere. If you're going to tell people that they can't live in areas prone to flooding, you may as well get everyone out of the earthquake zones, too... and let's not forget about tornado alley, wildfires, mudslides, etc.
I'm sure that the poor person sitting in a flooded (or non-existent house) who has lost everything, or somebody whose family member drowned during a flood would think flooding is horrible... I would agree wholeheartedly with them. But that is a topic for another thread...

I agree. I had to bear the smell for weeks after the aftermath done by the most powerful typhoon to ever hit my province last June. It was the most horrible experience in memory of the citizens.:shakehead:
About 10 years ago, I was living with my grandmother and her house was on Rehoboth Bay, DE. We had 3 nor'easters back to back and I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of water spashing. I looked outside and we and the entire neighborhood had become part of the Bay. I was scared to death! We and the neighbors got rescued by some very handsome National Guard soldiers. Luckily her house was on "stilts" but we lost both of our cars. She said that floods and hurricanes only happend "once in a great many years" and it was worth it to live there. You get very interesting things in your yard after the water goes away, and it stinks. But after that, I've always questioned why the continue to let people build houses in flood zones.
i don't necessarily agree with flooding bringing about any sort of good, but i do have to say...
live in an area on the coast that is below sea level, and you're ASKING for it. don't expect help when the problem isnt the area, it's you living in it.

Hmm.
I live about 40 miles from the Southern shores of lake Michigan.. Does that count?!? because I didnt ask for it and this whole area is flooded. I live 6 miles from work, and today it took me about 40 minutes to get there. Most all of the streets are flooded in excess of 3 feet...
...askin for it my butt....
But if you have a cyclone fence, or a chain link fence, and you are worried it might become a dolphin net, put some privacy slats in it. That will keep the fishes out, and we wont be able to see you mow the lawn in that bright green speedo! anyway...
