Storms

Well, my brother had his AC unit flooded out in recent rains. As I watched the coverage this week, I was struck how many of the areas only finished rebuilding due to the Katrina. It is amazing how we spend and spend and keep building in areas that are always going to be in the path of nature. It seems that perhaps we should have more respect.

My brother used to live in a 100 year flood plain. Now because the city build and builds, there is nowhere for hte run off and his home has had the yard and A flood twice in six years. Now we have more rain His AC will be fixed this week but what about next week?

People and cities need to plan better when they build. It is sad to see people flooded out. What bothers me is when they live at waters edge. The water will come.
