Damn! Imagine the low income class trying to overcome this! Some unemployed still due to the pandemic and barely surviving paycheck to paycheck.

Wow! Its going to be interesting to see how those with home insurance are going to be covered.

The sucky part about Ida hitting NY and NJ is that they weren’t prepared. The gulf coast knew she was headed towards them, but the NE had very little warning. Prayers for all.

My Sincere Condolences to the families of those who died from these calamities. Those who dye from the calamities of natural disasters are Martyred according to Islam.

The video list masks, goggles, gloves, fans, dehumidifiers, shop vac. No mention of the need for strong humans who have water to drink, a place to sleep with air conditioning, food to eat, electricity from the grid, etc.. This thing is a little ahead of where many people are.

Dang, everyone elsewhere is having all the fun.

People should sue the city SINCE the city should have drainage systems that actually work. Your FIRST STEP is to make SURE there's proper drainage around your home and BLOCK every year. I make sure my block is clear I make sure my property has proper drainage. I own a acre and it's my responsibly to watch out for it.

Very good tips thanks guys

Also, always live on top of the hill, like me

In Lithuania where I live, and basically in any of the Europe countries, Russia included too, there is a standard practice, or at least it was in older times, now its probably just to expensive to do it, when a residential house was build, with a basement that is getting wet even slightly, or if there are any to at least one active water spring present during the digging of the basement, it usually because of the abnormally high surface water table in basically all of EU countries, and if there is no drain available, your basement will always be just a giant swimming pool 27/7/365, so the floor of the basement always is slightly slanted to one corner where a pit is installed and in that pit is a 4 inch pipe that goes directly from your house and connects to the nearby pipe going under the street that is the separate pipe from sewer and rain water collection systems, and its job is basically to collect all the spring and rain water from the basements and carry it out to the lakes or pumping stations nearby so basements wont get flooded. In my 1959 year of construction house that I live in, the basements constructed in the exact same manner, in the corner of my basement is a pit and in the bottom of it as an elbow of cast iron 4 inch pipe that goes under the pit to the rain water collection well in the street and it goes down to the nearby lake witch is downhill about half a kilometer away from my house. And since my and all of my neighbors houses are near a lake our basements are full of active springs that during even the biggest droughts of the hottest summers, the water still bubbles up trough the floor and runs down to the pit and out of the house. It should be a standard practice in US too I think. A basement is a just a giant pool and what do pools need? a drain hole to drain it. Usually it is connected to a pump nearby so it is plumped out to the drain but sometimes if a main sewer line of the house is low enough the pool drain can be directly connected to a sewer line and you just pull a plug of a 4 inch drain in the bottom of a pool and it drains away, though not many people do that plainly because it can sometimes overwhelm the sewer line and back up into other people houses, so you should install a 2 inch pipe so it won't happen. I actually installed a valve on my basement drain, so I an plug it shut during droughty summers and I have a backup pump in the pit and I pump the spring water out into a holding tank and I use it to water my garden. I once remember, I left the valve shut and unplugged the pump to do some work on the tank outside and I forgot about it for three days and I went into the basement and it was full of water all the way trough the whole basement as high as 3 feet deep!!! so I opened the valve and a huge whirlpool appeared and water rushed down the drain until a whole basement was empty. It was so satisfying and the floor of the basement was never so clean before lol. I could hear the water fall in the rain well in the street as my basement was draining out

Home owners insurance FTW

When Hurricane Ida was suspected to bring flooding up here in DC… everyone was buying shop vacs

American houses are like a house of cards. Maybe build houses that are not made out of paper lol.

I SUFFERED MANY DISEASES FOR THE ARSENIC WATER.BONE DISEASE,SKIN DISEASE ALREADY COVERED BY ME.

Oh wow

Buy an inflatable pool bed as life raft

... and just like that I am so grateful I don't have a basement...

🔝 We need to unite in the "Creative Society"! Living conditions on the planet are deteriorating... People are already uniting! #creativesociety

avoid living in flooding area is the best solution. even if it happens in every 10 years, losing everything is not worth it over saving few hundreds a month. even insurance company covers all the damage 100%, you would still lose irreplaceable items and it will take months of hard work to restore it back to normal. i would avoid flooding zone at any cost.

You cannot prepare yourselves to face the wrath of The One True God. If you survived, Repent

Put your swim trunks on cause now you have that Indoor swimming pool you always dreamed about..

Tip... to protect against sewage, install feces screens during your remodel! 😀

Where we live, basements aren’t a thing because it’s too expensive to dig through feet of caliche and flash floods tend to happen every summer. Sad for anyone in a basement apartment.

What to do when your basement floods? Climb up the stairs and get the fuck out of the basement.

You go for a swim!

The climate is changing. Cataclysms are happening all over the planet. This is due to the cyclical nature. For more details, see the Global Crisis Online World Conference. This already concerns everyone. Only together can we cope with the disasters ahead. Let's unite and build a Creative Society. A society of kindness and justice.

We got lucky

Global warming? I feel bad for the victims

Do not go into the water if its flooed fun fact i got told if electricy hits the misipipie river it can make the whole river dealdy and you will die sow quick

You show me a basement that's never ever flooded and I'll show you a second floor bedroom. There ain't no such thing as a basement that never floods! I didn't grew up in a state that had basements. Seems pointless since they always flood. - - How about showing folks what kind of insurance they should buy BEFOREHAND so they can get relief in a disaster?
