Go talk to people in Houston, or even recently San Diego.

There is a reason NFIP claims are filed all over the country.

Do you know why New Orleans flooded during Katrina?

Do you realize it had nothing to do with rain or pumps?

Western North Carolina.

Im sure you’re asking so you can try and find some reason to shite on where I live to make yourself feel better, but you needn’t. It was just a joke poking fun at the infrastructure in my home town and the overly defensive people who still live there.

Thats doesnt answer my question....

Let me ask you another question.....

Do you know how much of Orleans is below sea level?

Did you know when New Orleans was first built it was built 20'+ above sea level?


Of course you dont

There's plenty of cities around the world with much bigger problems. Nola has issues but this ain't one to deter me from living there.

FWIW, my wife wants to move back. I’m going to fight it as long as I can, but I’m sure sooner or later I’ll be bitching about the pumps down the road
