I guess because they are opening levees in long protected areas, yes, this sucks, but there are other folks who are farming flood plains, at the risk of crop loss. when my mother worked these floods in the 70'90's, with the red cross, the big wheels and fema, were thinking this is old hat, same furniture and supplies to the same people in the same waterlogged house on abd on. the corps of engineers was buying the properties and finding new digs -uphill. Some people would pocket the money, or rent out the high and dry place, and move back next to the river. But next flood, no help. This was about when a flood drowned a million pigs or whatever, a real sickening mess. the land was suppose to be for crops and open pasture, not homes or barns that could trap livestock. But those places- I don't think, had levees. If you were told your place was safe, and would be if not sabatoged, yeah, let the city slickers eat imported food, and give you all new everything, let the insurance companies fight it out. that is the real deal huh? Country property 'value' compare to flood city damage costs. If this was Florida hurricanes, the city wouldn't get damage claims a second time... funny too, reserviors all up the Missuori river are suppose to be for flood control and barge clearance... that's why none of it can be used for irrigation, so much for that huh? Adds insult to injury....
