Rebuilding after a storm like Hurricane Sally is complicated and can take years, and the threat of more storms isn’t letting up.

  1. It’s not like that woman has lived there all her life. She purchased that home in 2016 fully aware that she was buying in a flood zone in a heavy hurricane corridor. If people want to buy homes in areas that they know will flood, then the government should not have to bail them out. If you want to live near the ocean or near a river and enjoy the perks when it’s sunny, then you agree to the risks and eat the cost yourself when it floods.

  2. The house will have to be raised or razed. I'm afraid the government is not going to come through in time before another storm.

  3. FEMA officials should have to answer for its incompetence, that bunch has been a disaster before Hurricane IKE and the way they handled the disaster was disgusting, the people had to repeatedly go through the process and they were not able to get the right help , I hope that lady gets her house raised like it needs to be , even the state and churches could help make that happen

  4. Bro what? lol it was a pretty disappointing and overhyped hurricane, we've had better afternoon storms, we didn't even lose power.

  5. Pick up the Pieces” 정상으로 돌아가다.

    “Pick up the Pieces”라는 영어 표현이 있다. 이를 직역해보면, “조각을 줍다.”라는 말로 옮겨볼 수 있는데, 이는 조각조각들을 줍는 경우에도 쓰이기도 하지만, 관용적인 뜻으로 쓰인다.

    “Pick up the Pieces”

    조각조각을 줍다.
    (충격이나 재난 후에) 정상으로 돌아가다.
    이는 큰 충격이나 재난이 있은 후에, 다시 정상적인 상황으로 돌아가는 것을 가리키거나…
