You mean Ian is MAGA?

Well damn... I gets it now.

Hey Gruff,

If your house burns down in a forest fire would you accept a big fat paycheck from Uncle Sam?

Hey Clarke,

You’re Florida strong. Keep the faith.

You deserve it.

I’ll take that as a firm “yes.”

LOL

My brother and his wife were ABOUT to close on a house twenty miles inland from Port Charlotte, and they ARE closing on their house and property in NY State.

No worries, during the transition process they have been renting a place in Port Charlotte.

So - according to BillyGoatGruff, people who are born and raised on the coast should move inland at least 100 miles to assuage his ego?

What a sad world he lives in.

I had no idea people from New York... moved to Florida.

But building your house in the middle of National Forest is smart.

His wife’s idea, always had been her intention soon as the kids were out, she grew up there.

My brother hit rock bottom way back when and joined AA. There he met a young woman, the daughter of a millionaire, who bore him three fine children. Plus he makes more retired than I do working.

I blame myself, I shoulda drunk harder back then.

There is a fella in Wyoming that help with that...

He offers many other classes as well...

This guy...


Double wide trailer house, before FEMA.



After a quick, nifty FEMA fix up.








GOD BLESS AMERICA

Hmm, after the historic floods in southeast KY a few months ago, FEMA told the hillbillies to go get fùcked. Entire communities are homeless and have nothing but the clothes on their backs. I think FEMA is going to help local govt rebuild their courthouses and jails though.

Funny how that works.

Don't know the details there but having a recorded deed in your name AND classified as your primary residence can be a major stumbling block for some in receiving FEMA funding.

FN good people with their hands out like a bunch of deadbeats and freeloaders wanting welfare.

Alien?

I'd go with that, if, we have the same rules for people in earth quake zones and forest fire zones.

Our doublewide was destroyed by flooding in June 2006. We did not have flood insurance as we didn't live in a floodplain. Our property hadn't been flooded in the last 100 years. We still owed 11K on it so still had to make the monthly payments to the bank or default on the loan, even though we could no longer live in it. It took until November 2006 {five months} before FEMA finally paid off the loan for us so we could start looking for a new place. Meanwhile we stayed with my inlaws {what a blast}. Paying off the loan on our destroyed home so we could start over with a new loan on a new place was all FEMA did in our case. We ultimately went from living in a doublewide that would have been paid off in two more years to a singlewide that took 12 more years to pay off. 90% of our belongings were destroyed. FEMA inspectors estimated our total loss, including furniture, appliances, TV, stereo, etc. etc. at 184k. Many things were destroyed that just can't be replaced. Perhaps the worst being all the family photos from when my kids were little. Yeah, we made out like bandits and it was grand. I highly recommend the experience for everyone.

We're you present when FEMA came in and inspected your home?

Did you obtain a special interest rate loan through FEMA to purchase your replacement home?

No and no.
