Wonder what insurance against lava and quakes is like there?
I'm guessing it's like flood insurance in flood-prone areas... not available. :/
Exactly, WHY EVER buy a house if there has EVER been a flood there. Just because it doesn't happen often doesn't mean it will never happen again.
Then its boo hoo, we lost everything
Or underwritten by the taxpayer.
Do NONE of you guys bet the ponies??
Nope. Plenty to worry about with out thinkin bout the next storm of the century to flood my home ( I live on high ground)Do NONE of you guys bet the ponies??
That's kinda funny. We live about a half mile from a city lake and 2 blocks from a major city roadway -- closer to the top of that slope than to the middle. To say the land "slopes slightly" towards the lake would be a gross exaggeration. I used to cuss the builder of this house for concreting both the side yards all the way from the house foundation to the property line, slightly sloping towards the lake and away from the foundation, and sloping the backyard to the fenceline. Now I really appreciate his efforts. No matter how hard it rains, or how much falls in a short period of time, I never have standing water for more than 2-3 hours at a time. It all runs off.
Apparently the old man was crazy like a fox ...
My parents live on the North Shore of Kauai. So far, no effects from the volcano where they are, yet.
The South end of Lake Powell in Utah is like that. We drove for 30 + miles with no trees, no grass, no sand, no dirt.....nothing but old lava flows. It was amazing how desolate that area is, yet beautiful.
Hawaii is just continuing to grow from its youth when it first popped its head above the ocean.
It will continue to grow from lava flows forever.
It finally reached the ocean today in Hawaii.
