1,000 year flood that’s what it looks like.5 feet is almost to the roof.May God help them get a new house and new life.
Those Plantations!!!
It is a miserable experience beyond compare... unless you are fairly wealthy and can afford to long-term rent another comparable home somewhere while yours is being rebuilt, it's far far worse even! 2 story homes have some advantages since your upstairs rooms and hopefully at least 1 bathroom will still be livable, but one story homes are just miserable you won't have a bed, furniture any floors cabinets carpets your bathroom will be ruined just everything! I know, I had to "camp" in my ruined home sleeping on the bare concrete and recovered lawn furniture for a long time before just finally giving up completely (kept getting re-flooded, thanks a lot Colony Ridge!).
Get ready fellow houstonians, house insurance to go even more up!!!
Do you know, because it is not being reported on, that if your house got a "FRED" Letter ever and it wasn't elevated before rebuilding from a flood previously, your house won't be eligible for any FEMA or GLO assistance now? Even if you didn't own it then but bought it since then, you are SOOL. Failure to elevate a house that received a "FRED" Letter may even be used by flood insurance companies to deny flood claims. My house in Plum Grove wasn't in any FEMA Flood Hazard, so I never got a "FRED" Letter even though it was being flooded repeatedly (thanks Colony Ridge!)... but many of my neighbors homes were in the 100 and 500 year flood plains down the street and flooded during Harvey and got that letter, but were rebuilt (and at least some have been re-sold since) and now they have flooded again and won't be eligible for squat!
I believe that FEMA is the ultimate underwriter for all flood insurance policies, and FEMA knows if your house has ever been sent a "FRED" Letter or not. This is going to cause a whole lot of problems, reporters need to investigate what I'm saying and report on it cause this is going to catch a lot of folks by surprise! Just saying.
One of my neighbors down the street in Plum Grove from my house, her house is in the 100 year flood plain and had been flooded by 1 foot of water back in October 1994 (just a year or two before she bought it). She wasn't told by the seller that the house had flooded in October 1994 and had been rebuilt... when she flooded almost 5 feet deep in Harvey without flood insurance, she discovered FEMA denied her any assistance because her house had been one of those in Plum Grove that had received a "FRED" Letter right after the October 1994 flood. But like I said, she had no clue about that flood or that the house had ever been flooded.... she is homeless today and has been living with old friends of hers in another state since shortly after Harvey. I'm not positive, but I believe that house of hers was flooded yet again last week. A new owner had rebuilt it recently and it was listed on Zillow with a sale pending but I bet that falls thru now! 😕
Sorry I was unclear: my neighbor's house was repeatedly rebuilt but never elevated as the "FRED" Letter required. She and so many others didn't know about those "FRED" Letters till they got theirs after Harvey. My house never got one, because it's not in the FEMA Flood Hazard according to FEMA even though it was bring repeatedly flooded by a new Colony Ridge subdivisions up the street from my driveway. Just saying.
Now, they have to beg for the FEMA and insurance funds they're entitled to and have paid into for decades.
Texans should be forced to build beach houses. Tall and built on beams. Blow out rooms or laundry rooms along the first floor.
Now, they have to beg for the FEMA and insurance funds they're entitled to.
So like, yeah the stat will receive federal money... but the flooded home owners, not so much! Been there done that, got no help from the state or FEMA after my home in Plum Grove not even in a FEMA Flood Hazard was flooded for 3rd time in summer of 2019. When it flooded for 4th time in the fall of 2019 (Imelda storm, which didn't even flood homes in the 100 year flood plain in Plum Grove), I flooded to even worse than Harvey in 2017 but was only able to get barely half as much help from FEMA or the state even though my entire house was once again wrecked with black mold growing everywhere! Catholic Charities lied outright to me, told me they would get back with me in 6 months never heard from those people again though. Cajun Navy people came out to meet with me, said they would be back to help then never came back again and got angry with me when I finally called them asking where they'd gone why they hadn't come back! And there were more groups and charities and the like getting state and federal funding who lied to me whose names I just do not remember now. People are just crap around here I tell you!
And I had contacted ABC13's news room repeatedly, but never heard a word back from YOU either! Guess I didn't fit the right narrative y'all look for. 😐
Most states offer 25% and Fema is limited to 75% and TEXAS doesnt offer ANYTHING! In fact, their plans have a design the entire state gets fema money and they BURIED IN TXDPS…where only they audit…is fema money hidden…not given….
I don't think that they have to use FEMA or the government if they don't want to family and friends are going to have to help them and they may need new vehicles. Also to live like the Amish for a little while might help? I wish them a speedy recovery.

Federal assistance
I thought abbot didn't want anything from government?
Abbott is a complete hypocrite and a greedy SOB. He's taken some $1.5 million in "donations" from Colony Ridge developers who sell Texas lands to many people who are in the country illegally, as well as going on an exotic deer hunting trip with 1 of the developers (but he did not disclose that in his filings with the Texas Ethics Commission, I searched their database and found no sign of that gift only; Representative William Metcalf disclosed his exotic deer hunt trip gifted to him by Trey Harris the others including Gregg Abbott did not... ABC13 really aught to look into this stuff!).
