Slava, not at all, I hope I didn't sound snappy, I am trying not to be. I only vent/discuss here, I don't bother going anywhere else because CP has always had very good people to chat with. I appreciate the questions, and don't expect people to agree with me, but I do appreciate the open mindedness.

What is this warning sign thing? Never heard of that. Explain further.

Fotze, I will admit I have looked at the comments at both those sites. I have a thick skin, and know that is where the social rejects hang out. It wares more so on my wife, I try and tell her that these are mostly fake accounts used by trolls, who like to agitate flood victims, but it does not work. She has taken some of those comments pretty personally. I know it still gets to her, now it gets to me. She just can't understand why some people would take so much time out of their life to be so hateful to people who are so emotionally and financially devastated.
Secondly, they have slapped a warning sign on our land title "Flood Fringe". That to me is a warning sign to any future buyer. Which I am not against in theory, and would have actually liked to have myself 4 years ago.
My issue is that there are no answers as to what that means.
1. What upgrades do I need to do? Does my house go on stilts? My water tank on the main floor? Will it cost a fortune to get my house upgraded, and if so am I getting only a fraction to do this?
2. What mitigation efforts is the 3 levels of government taking? How about that antiquated sewer?
3. What assistance will happen in future if there is a worse flood? Right now it is unclear.
4. Will this allow insurance to not cover me go forward?
Now I ask, who in their right mind will pay the cities market assessed value of my home under these unknowns? No one but vultures will come. So we are stuck until what looks like the fall sitting, maybe. Maybe longer, who knows. Until then we wait I guess.
