#1 ...or as prompted by the interviewer. Our version of 'God wills it'. A custom done as an involuntary reflex of the lower brain stem group.

#2 A 500 year rain - that would put it before the industrial revolution? Blame the Italian Resaissance, just some garlic culture anyways...

More idiodic than this media terminology are people who live in flood plains then wonder why they are underwater - or in river deltas, next to fault lines, in tornado ally, etc. No place anyone lives is going to be safe so you either hope it doesn't happen or prepare and deal with it when it does.

Or is the subtle push that, if the government had forced them to have insurance, they never would have made the mistake of cancelling their insurance to save a couple bucks.

#4 this is crap- 100 year flood does not mean that it happens only once / 100 years; but of course this article ignores the math probability.

wonder how many took the gov't $ last time and pocketed it, stayed put and now are looking for more handouts?

should only be a one time deal.

#6 ION GUARDIAN.uk > DIEGO GARCIA: CHAGOS ISLANDS RETURN [to Islanders = denied] PUTS US BASE AT UNACCEPTABLE RISK.
