not sure how folks down in houston are drying out but peeling off drywall
and letting the place air dry or even with fans would not be enough for me

i would remove as much drywall and flooring as possible then put a tent
over it and seal it

then get a big outdoor industrial sized space heater and place that on
one side and a vent on the other

adjust to proper back pressure and then get the whole place up to 140
or so and let it sit for two or three days


then i would fix it and sell it and move to colorado

know of folks that live in the 500 year flood plain and they had
no flooding

interesting info on how those flood plains are determined and
apparentyl only the insurance companies have the legally usable
numbers

no doubt so they can deny claims as it suits them

Change that to Megachurches and for profit hospitals (I guess in the
USA that's pretty much all hospitals - not so up here. The US "Bible
Belt" seams to have more than it's share of Megachurches run my
bigger-than-life charlatans as well

Don't leave out the US non-profit hospitals. They make lots of money
and pay the executives outrageous fees and bonuses.

Not so. Most hospitals are "not for profit". However, "not for
profit" doesn't mean that they don't bring in money by the boat load.

Yes, and don't leave out "charities" like the Clinton Foundation or
even the American Red Cross.

Too late!

not sure what that means

if you mean too late to sell then no it is not too late
the price will have to be adjusted though


or maybe the way to go is to build dispensable space with ten or twelve
foot ceilings and build it with the foot print of the house and sturdy
with steel then put the whole house up on that

gives you enough height to spare the main house

sure it would cost some money but might be less than the hit you take
trying to sell a house that was underwater with a mortgage that is
underwater


No doubt! They've been doing it fer yrs.

disaster capitalism

these hurricanes plus all the wildfires and some still burning
two or three billion spent putting out fires

who knows the tally for the hurricanes
