Where is here?
According to this website:
FCIC: National Flood Insurance Guide
the average cost of flood insurance is $370 per year. That's not much, IMO, considering that if you need to use it, you get a house out of it.
BTW - I'm not trying to rag on the people of Fargo. Its actually quite impressive how they saved their town, and as a taxpayer, I'm fine with whatever money they need to rebuild being sent their way.
I just think its bullshit that the Sean Hannities of the world stood up and announced how irresponsible it was for Katrina victims to not have flood insurance. ALL of the victims that lived in what were designated as "high risk" flood zones were REQUIRED to have insurance and thus HAD insurance and were covered. Those who were uncovered were the ones living in the higher areas of the city which were designated as low risk and which were areas where one was not required to buy flood insurance. Those people are considered irresponsible jackasses by the Sean Hannties - while the people of Fargo who did they exact same thing are heroes.
then take it up with sean hannity
I'm surprised you didn't recommend I PM him.
i assumed you'd just roll over and whisper in his ear.
