[@jenniferpolk962]

Look into high pressure systems. They block and steer hurricanes. Which is exactly what happened with Helene. The reason these areas got hit so much harder than anticipated was 1) several days of rain preceding arrival of Helene and 2) Helene RACED inland and so still carried most of its moisture by the time it got to the mountains.

[@JudyHowe-fe3db]

To add to someone’s comment, I would like to see someone specifically make an effort to find out all the insurance companies who are denying claims/compensation to owners. Not only do we need to help those affected physically, financially and emotionally, but we need to go the extra mile and put the pressure on these insurance companies and to write our congressmen (in whatever state you’re in) about FEMA reform and protecting citizens from greedy insurance companies. The only thing that’s going to get these insurance companies attention is a mass campaign from the public demanding they do the right thing and those of us who have insurance through them to cancel.

[@jenniferpolk962]

Insurance companies aren't going to pay for anything destroyed by floodwaters for anyone who doesn't have flood coverage, and they haven't for as long as I can remember. You have to buy flood insurance separately to be covered for that. This is not new and no one in this situation is being treated any more unfairly than any property owner anywhere in the country whose insurer has denied a claim due to flooding on a property that didn't have flood coverage. No need to identify the companies, because this applies to ALL of them.

It wasn’t just a flood, it was a complete natural disaster of epic proportions and I think that counts for something and some compensation should be provided. (I know, wishful thinking; insurance companies don’t do anything out of the goodness of their hearts..). Probably would be the same here in Oregon, hypothetically if one had earthquake insurance, and we had an earthquake, but further damage was done because a dam broke (we have lots of lakes )and flooded outside the designated flood zone the insurance companies would probably do the same to us. Damned if you don’t and damned if you do.

[@jenniferpolk962]

@@JudyHowe-fe3db This is true - insurance companies are in the business of taking your money and not paying it out unless they absolutely cannot avoid it - this goes for ALL types of insurance. But as for the flooding, they did the same thing in Katrina when New Orleans flooded. They aren't going to pay claims for anyone who didn't specifically have flood insurance if their house flooded or washed away.

[@JudyHowe-fe3db]

@@jenniferpolk962 Jennifer, I then have to ask the question is that OK for insurance companies to do that, do we need to continue living with it or should we be letting them know how we feel? We are all going to be affected I’m afraid at some point.

The problem is that if it's flooded in these places once it's going to happen again just a matter of when, please do not build back where the river took out your homes.

We need a thorough investigation of this weather event that was predicted to be “light rain.” This smells of intentional catastrophe.

[@Storms_chaser]

It was predicted to be a giant amount of rainfall. Meteorologists and weather models predicted the large amount of rain and flooding.

They had two days prior of heavy rain, and the hurricane brought in more rain and strong winds to add to the existing problem I don't think the government had a clue but I am sure they will do something stupid since they have the opportunity to make excuses to take over.

This has happened before in the mountains. But not to the extent of what took place this October. Lots of summer trailer homes near river and lakes. All ruined by flood water. Lesson for the future... don't build by water. Decades of repairs for the NC Western Mts.

So sad, but, I didn't hear anything about his land being taken from him. It sounds like he's still living on it still owns it and still trying to rebuild. So I'm just trying figure out the headline

It will be very interesting in the future to see how much they offer him. And how much the land was evaluated at prior to the storm

Rising water is a flood. If you live by a river you should have flood insurance I’m so sorry this has happened to him

[@wuzhis2184]

I dont inderstand why theres not a massive government project underway recovering bodies, rebuilding roads, taking out debris, and restoring electricty to that region. Is it because of the ecominic status of these people???

[@samgentile7494]

The gentleman who owns the land and the campground is very Practical and he understands that it will take many years to rebuild. He knows that he will never get back all of his land that was totally washed away by the river. Rome was not built in a day. His campground took 30+ years to build up to where it was. The first steps must be 1) Debris removal and 2) digging the river out 10 to 20 feet deeper and lining the riverbanks with big boulders to prevent further erosion during future heavy rain storms.

[@larryag99]

And I'll add another step... purchase some flood insurance this time around ! That won't stop another flood, but at least he will have some funds to rebuild. My advice... NEVER buy and build on land near a river. It's not a matter of IF... it's a matter of WHEN it will flood your property and likely wash your home away. They say with real estate location, location, location... well the best advice is elevation, elevation , elevation !!!

Notice on the far side of the river the dense tree line helped stop the river from eroding that side? It'd be worth noting that having a view of the river from your home might actually be a bad thing in the event of a storm, a nice dense tree line letting its leaves feed the river improves the river health and protects the people a lot more. Maybe just have a few docks to enjoy the river.

[@pureamerican100]

The river demolished half the campground that is across the river. It was not spared.
