Oh, well. One could hope.

Yes, I've been wondering how much damage it would take for people
to decide it is cheaper in the long run to rebuild the whole place
on higher (of course, sea level would be higher) ground. Some
small towns did it after the Midwest floods in 1993, but I doubt
if they'll do that with New Orleans. They rebuilt San Fancisco
in the same place after all. If insurance companies demand it,
it might happen I suppose, but unless a clause like that is in
the policies already, all they could do is refuse to insure the
new construction in the future. They might do that just as risk
control. IIRC some companies pulled out of Florida after Andrew.

Cheers,
Russell

All they need to do is not insure losses due to tropical cyclones. And
yeah, I fully expect something along those lines to happen.

And after last year, too. IIRC, Allstate dropped all Florida
homeowners policies in the last year.

Perhaps the Globalists, deciding that such catastrophe is a huge waste of
their dollars, will decide, overwhelmingly to move New Orleans to North
Lousiana. We have already seen their brilliance in both Iraq and finding
OBL. Something they can't seem to do, whether Repub, or Dem.

Clinton shoots missles at the guy. Bush sends a crack commando team into
tora bora, and the guy escapes both times. And seems to get dialysis
treatment at US Naval bases.... I didn't know OBL had Medicare? A or B?
Or both?

The guy is a ghost, unless they don't want him to be found. I mean for a
ragtag Islamic extremist, he sure is mobile, equipped, funded, and has
longevity. But then again the globalists do love their Boogey Mans.

OMG, the boogey man is gonna get us! Save us Government! Save
us!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, you can go back to The Apprentice now....

Allstate upped my homeowner's insurance premium a bunch after
Andrew and I didn't even live in hurricane ally. But I have
good news. I saved a bunch by switching to another company. :-)

followups trimmed
