That’s not why they built the “shacks.”

I thought the same thing about the river. It’s high right now too, so no need to go far beyond the levee .

In all seriousness, are there even any fire hydrants in that area? It’s very rural, even for White Castle standards. I’m sure the majority of the water was brought in on tank trucks.

There's a dozen reasons they could have lost pressure. Obviously a failure somewhere and not properly maintained

My stomach dropped checking back in and seeing the reignited shots. Wow.

I was in love with that plantation and all the beautiful antiques.

These plantation fires ALWAYS start back up after being put out. Always.

Maybe they look at the cost of rebuilding on a partial loss vs the payout on a total loss and just say, "oh well."
