Flooding damage is not customary for New York, especially downstate.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I left school, I never wondered whether my apartment in New York was vulnerable to storm surges, but my three daughters have to consider the realities of extreme weather and how it may destabilize communities around the globe.
FEMA says that it does not factor in previous losses into its decisions on applications to redraw the flood zones.
There's no such thing as a 100-year flood.
There's not really much destruction in New York besides the weather and it's a natural force so it's not like any destruction. But LA gets leveled (laughs). That's my comment to Hollywood.
There are two things in New York, euphoria and disaster.
Second, there are two problems with respect to mobile homes in particular. One is we obviously don't want to put them in a flood plain, because if there's another flood, you're going to lose the mobile home.
I probably shouldn't live in New York.
A property in the 100-year floodplain has a 96 percent chance of being flooded in the next hundred years without global warming. The fact that several years go by without a flood does not change that probability.
New York is a bit of a dangerous place to me because you often leave in a blur.
You know, we lose more homes every year to flooding than we do any other event in America.
