Lowe's and Home Depot love natural disasters. The Lowe's on Millerville was the #1 store in the chain for quite some time, until Depot in Denham opened back up. Problem is they never can find enough staff to handle the increase of sales.

Between our flood last year and now Texas, I would be real nervous buying a used vehicle or camper anytime soon.

used car lots too, they will buy the bulk inventory of all the new ones flooded and resell them, then the smaller dealers will do the same for all the used cars that are not that old.

so its a gold mine all around for everyone and a virtual hazard zone for anyone within 300 miles who is wanting to buy any used vehicle for the next year at least, because 90% of evereything being sold or traded in on new cars will be flooded cars dried out and passed off as not flooded


Ummm....no.

Some of you MF'ers are paranoid. Yeah some sketchy used car dealer in the hood will do this and sell the cars for $3,500, but 90%? C'mom man, tell me what other conspiracies you believe.

I have a friend that got hired on at lakeside Toyota after Katrina. They were hiring anybody they could get their hands on because of the demand. He cleared 100,000 in his first 12 months despite no previous experience.

The year after that started off really slow so he left the job
