Kevin proposes something that sounds reasonable to me… after 3 bad disasters involving floods or mudslides (or other instability issues, not hurricanes), we should be done trying to build here.Just about any place can be flooded with enough rain. All depends on how frequently. Usually measured with time and averages (for example, in my town, a “100-year rain” is 8 inches in 24 hosu.uCuriorsly, that’s happened 3 times in the 14 years that I’ve lived here. May be time to recalibrate.But I digress. Would be interesting to see what homeowners insurance and coverage caps were there. Bet they tell a story.
