    A resident called this a ‘natural disaster’ no sir. I’m afraid this one is man made.

    It’s not historic flooding it’s a dam failure. If it’s flooding then no insurance will pay if it’s a dam failure then it someone’s fault. If it’s a company owned dam why was it not maintained. If it was regulations that made the dam owner’s shut down why couldn’t the government maintain the dam that was not productive for a company.

    A reminder to never buy or build in a low lying area near any source of water

    My father used to tell me "I don't care if the house is gorgeous, it's in a low area, you want a house with good run-off and elevation" He also hated "cruise ships, turkey bacon, and 4cylinder front wheel drive vehicles."

    Shouldn’t alter the natural flow of life. Disaster will always be the end result.

    What was the maintenance plan on the dam? Had it been maintained? Had it been inspected?
