re: There are people whose land is lost to the river and creek changes from Helene

Yeah Ive seen a few lots where most of the land fell into the river and is gone. One person owned like 20 acres and about 10 of those acres don’t exist anymore
Another lot had a trailer on it. You’d never know there was a trailer or even land there at one point now.

Flood waters like that are a big fear of mine.

I wonder how many have been contacted to sell their land...
I wonder how many offers are from NYC private equity firms and/or foreign investors?

I would have thought Western North Carolina would have been safe from a hurricane! Seems like these storms are traveling inland more and more.

Accretion vs. Avulsion and Erosion
In contrast to erosion, avulsion happens when erosion or accretion occurs very quickly, typically as the result of a serious storm, such as a hurricane. Land lost by avulsion typically can still be claimed by the landowner, which generally gives them the right to reclaim and replenish the land without a special permit. Despite this, if additional land is created by avulsion, the landowner typically does not have ownership over this new land.

I’d go for a claim to own a percentage of the water way. Probably some $$ in there somewhere. Go big.
Hell yeah. Take the surveyors out in boats.

Well, these are all flood claims so it won’t be the insurance companies, it’ll be FEMA. Good try though

Unless they had flood insurance, they may not have any claims, but I'm not an insurance expert.

I’m no geologist or whatever, but once the excess water drains or evaporates, won’t there be about the same amount of water as before the storm? I guess creeks or rivers could become wider and shallower. If you look at Google Earth you can see the previous tracks of the Mississippi and other rivers, and how some state boundaries don’t follow the river anymore. But the surface area of land stayed roughly the same. Hopefully they will redistribute it somehow.

What are the laws related to accretion in that region? Down here, you’re SOL if a stream changes course and takes your land.

Good try? What am I trying? Of course I understand without flood insurance people are in trouble. But are we pretending that flood insurance will automatically help these people?

Helene caused more climate change in 24 hours than "man" has caused in the last 200 years.

Look at your original post. There are no insurance companies, just NFIP which is the federal government

Seems the pathway in almost every case is the road.

That has to be utter and compete bullshite
Has all the earmarks of hype and hysteria
I’m sure the fed govt is frickkng it up like everything else they touch, but there’s no conspiracy to cause more pain and devastation to those affected

Living next to a river or the ocean can be a beautiful experience but it comes with major risks.

In Louisiana you get replacement land from the previous course of the stream that is now a riverbed.
