      Not necessarily the monsoon (was a kinda average storm) but a few years ago we've had a massive flood that changes the flow of a lot of the river system in our province and damaged a several bridges and caused landslide that took multiple lives. We've had lots of strong typhoons before (including Haiyan) but nothing, in my 30 years of life or in the lives of my parents have we experienced something of that magnitude in our island. I don't think it is completely the weather's fault cause there has been plenty of development in our province these past 10 years but I think it did play a huge role in that particular event judging from the scope and the wide-range of devastation that time.
      The weather is getting crazier and it's making more nervous each year. In the past 8 years, I've always dreaded typhoon season here. Our house is getting older and the weather is becoming more extreme.

    I experienced high ground water flooding in Pullman, MI between 2008-2012-for four springs running. We did not have the kind of water seen here but even 24" of water for months and months at a time means, mold, damage, terrible stress and damage. I hope to never live through that again...NO INSURANCE coverage because we were not in a "flood zone." The solution was to "extend the drain" and that costs us $10,000 for our share of the county drain assessment. The same year my friends cottage flooded out in Newaygo, MI on the Muskegon River. They had damage, flood insurance and coverage but you still live through the stress, the months of rennovations and such. They sold immediately afterwards in order to not have to live through another flood. It is devestating.

      Sometimes the problem is with insurance. Some companies don’t offer that kind of coverage because “you’re out of the risk zone”, or it counts as some other, special package instead of being included with what the basic coverage is. Always check to be sure exactly what kind of coverage you need, and what kind of coverage you actually have! Not just for floods- earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, fires, even crime damages!
      It’s also good to know what coverage your renter’s policy has too. Not just tips for homeowners.

    Maybe they shouldn't be building homes where flooding can occur.

    This is what happens when all that water that was secured as ice is released into our ecosystem.

      Sounds good; but only If California will pay for it and pray the water won’t evaporate on route to Cali.

    I mean, are people really surprised when a flood zone floods? It’s kind of in the name, and typically insurance companies either won’t insure the area or will charge exorbitant rates. Either don’t live there or expect flooding from time to time!

      Do you honestly think that no one considered that? Most people only choose to live in a flood zone (or other bad area) because it’s cheaper and they don’t have funds to buy a home in a more expensive/ better location.. or they were born there and didn’t have a choice where their parents raise them..
      These people aren’t idiots, they’re either unlucky gamblers (or their kids), they thought the climate would stay steady, but then it didn’t. x.x

      City councilors let their developer buddies build new neighbourhoods there, and many people buy homes without realizing the risk. Bunch of scoundrels in my city filled in a swampy area and built a new subdivision. They ignored the engineers, geologists, environmentalists and local farmers. They didn't even let the ground settle enough and the concrete foundations are cracking and shifting. At the same time as that was being built, there was a rash of fires in an older subdivision that had been built on a former marshy area because the water level had risen, the ground had shifted and natural gas pipes were cracking under the strain. There are multiple levels of people who take the money and run, and let the costs fall on someone else.

      Historically earthen dams have been the go-to for humanity. Many of the older dams and levees throughout the United States were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s.

      Generally people fail to address a problem until it actually starts harming people.
      For example, if you have a small leak in your roof, you may place a bucket under the leak because you can go up on your roof while it is raining. Once it stops raining, you roof is no longer leaking, and it is no longer causing a problem
