#2 If you live on the railroad tracks, you better be prepared for the train, and have a house that can stand up to it. Frankly, you have better lives elsewhere than having this happen to you every 20 years.

All of the Gulf of Mexico was carved using Billions of years of storms just like this.

And most of you are squatters on volcanoes anyway. This does not end well.

#4 "At some point, God is telling you to move,"

Adam Smith made the same point about how much to spend on that house. If you can't afford to buy one, move elsewhere where you can. Drop the mortgage interest write off for income tax and watch some markets tumble.

#6 Some have bought homes in prestigious water feature neighborhoods by lifestyle choice. Others are forced to rent below sea level (BSL) by life situation.

In either case this guy is a dick(as so many of them are) for making light of the horrible choices forced on catastrophe victims.

#7 Most likely it was a (or more) really good scam artist(s) selling swamp bottom land as 'prime real estate'
