I know how everyone loves to bitch about the insurance companies denying claims. I have another twist here for you. When I came back home after hurricane Gustav we were without electricity for over a day. Rather than take a chance I threw out all the food in my freezer and refrigerator. I didn't have all that much in there since it was storm season. Past experiences taught me this. Anyway my mom informed me of something I had missed. None of the supermarkets in the area had any sales. They knew almost everyone would have to restock their food supply and therefore didn't give the consumers any breaks. So you see it isn't just the insurance companies it's many industries. Kick em when they are down.

I wanted to show my friends what Gustav thought of my utility shed. I am two for two on these things. Katrina ate the first one and Gustav got this one.

I really didn't like it very much. Hit my head on it all the time. Here are some photos of my dads home who lives on Carr Drive in Slidell Louisiana near Lake Pontchartrain. This home had water underneath for Katrina but was high and dry inside.

My client's have cash and are ready to close. Problem is the government. We need a wetlands permit to build a driveway. Three and a half acres and we need fifteen by twenty foot area of land to span the drainage area. We have been waiting two months. They finally got a Nationwide Permit #14 but now need a USACE #29 and a water quality certification from the LA Dept of Natural Resources. Can you believe how much the government gets in the way. We have to get this otherwise the land is basically worthless. I would love to hear other stories similar to this.
