Don't have a home lower than the road. Even if you see 100 homes like that, buy someplace else.
So true....
Good idea.
@@TheAyatollahofNofappollah how come you picked Nancy Pelosi for a thumbnail name?
Just curious...
@@jamescoleakaericunderwood2503 I am Nancy Pelosi.
@@jamescoleakaericunderwood2503 It doesn't matter.
Is anyone else wondering how insurance companies are going to weasel out of this one?
"To many claims. Sorry we can't pay."
Canceling policy renewals...
Flood insurance has to be specified... very expensive...same as earthquake insurance
@@mrs.hancock4124 Bingo!!! Yep, insurance companies will cancel them in a heartbeat just like they have been doing for the houses that they feel are in a high-risk fire zone.
They declare bankruptcy and then run a way
Prayers for safety to all💛🙏💛
Why we need flood insurance? Well now you know why and so did the builder as well as the seller. Good luck collecting . I see it here all the time in Florida the insurance company will pay - eventually - but it is out of your pocket now and they will only pay what they think it costs - usually NOT what it actually costs
You hate the government until you wanted to do something. Here’s an idea, don’t live in a flood zone.
Exactly
And it's still raining an hr later and more is coming.
Beware of where you buy!
this is great news for california's drought recovery
How long until we hear how rain is the new normal due to climate change?
Or would be, if California had expended any effort or funds to upgrading their catchment system. This is all going to run off.
@@kelaarin Sad but true. We live in a state of stupidity.
No it’s not, because they’re already letting water out of Folsom and Nimbus!
@@imd1b4u Considering I spent 20 years teaching about watershed and public works in California, quite a bit. They've done NOTHING in that time, or since.
Be safe folks I love Placerville such a great little town.
The insurance does not pay everything. Like when a pipe broke and flooded our house , the insurance said the pipe was not inside the house but it was part of it . Portion of it was going to the city’s pipe to the isle . What happened was the lemon tree’s roots wrapped its roots around the pipe and cut it . Instead of the water going out the house , it was coming in and flooded the house. Two bedrooms and a bathroom were flooded. Then they had to destroy the cemented floor of the patio because they had to dig out the pipe and replaced it. The insurance didn’t pay not even a single cent for the bed spreads and other possessions that were destroyed. I had to replace the carpet with tiles . Unfortunately everything came out from my pocket. That’s how bad other insurances are. They just want your money. So greedy and useless.
Sorry the city/government won’t do anything just like controlling fires. They are letting Cali fall apart
Big blessings. Real estate companies took advantage of the California drought. 😖😣😞😓
Good luck collecting on that flood insurance !
Never build below the road line where it can flood…
In a drought CA needs rain. There is no way to retain the water for tutored use. Lovely area, prayers for recovery.
Placerville is on the American River, which feeds Folsom reservoir. It would be nice if we had room enough for all the extra water, when we do get it. Like the song once said, "It never rains in California, but it pours...Man it pours."
@@photonjones5908 There's plenty of room in Folsom reservoir, which has been well below normal levels. First, the rain has to flow into creeks, rivers, watersheds... and a lot of it will get to Folsom. But for the short term, it's raining too fast and roadways, creeks, etc., are inundated because they can't drain faster than the rain is falling.
@@eh3477 Yes I know it, I am talking about our Wet Years in total, not just any one storm. I am glad they are finally going to build Sites' Valley, but we need a lot more off-stream storage than that, and soon! But yeah I should have been more specific.
Hahahahah @Barbara olson lol.... they deserve it!!!
I work in sacramento. Thanks to mother earth, I cant get to work
how much is flood insurance total?
Placerville??as in Placer Gold? where's the nearest creek? and check the runoff muddy mess for Shiny before just throwing it away. Hope Your Pot Plants are Okay!!
all that water just running off into the ocean, what a waste.
That water has a long way to go to reach the ocean. It is in Placerville. That is in the foothills of the Sierra mountains.
@@eugeniaskelley5194 yeah it goes to the sewers first
Blame the city? You have a house in a flood zone. Derp derp derp.
Blame the goverment and city council.The are elected to enhance the town infractructure.Once eleected, do they care!
Um, that is what the "easement" the homeowner mentioned is for, draining water. You know, infrastructure that the city didn't maintain?? Or did you fall asleep when he said that?
electric cars can't be charged in extream cold or a flood? The infrastructure to charge them in a flood is not even safe! If you and your family depended on it fir there life, then what?
no problem , just move to Arizona
Except the Mojave is a flash flood zone. Don't tell me it isn't, I live out here and my great grandad drowned in one in 1967. Just this past year Death Valley was closed for three or so months while they fixed flood damage. And th3y just finished reoairs on Scottys castle from damage a few years ago. And last year NDOT had to come out with backhoes and scrape mud and gravel off of main roads in front of WalMart because they flooded, including parts of the parking lot.
Did they leave?
Only stockpile sandbags when floods start ....
fix the infrastructure?...how will we pay for it...?
What happens when the ins co filed bankruptcy since it doesn’t have liquidity or too many claims…bummer dude
Living near 2 bodies of water during massive climate change in CA, then wondering why she'd need flood insurance....... 😎
This seem to happen every 5 yrs
God is Good 👍🏽
LOL!!!!! YOU WANTED WATER YOU GOT IT!!!!!... ENJOY IT!!!!!!!!!!
Floods will never happen again ... Build Back Better and live close to rivers .... Sleep Well True Believers ....
BIG QUESTION: WHERE IS OUR COUNTY SUPERVISOR LORI PARLIN???? THIS HAPPENED LAST YEAR AS WELL AFTER THE BIG SNOW STORMS...CRICKETS FROM OUR SUPERVISOR UNTIL PUBLICLY SHAMED. WHERE ARE YOU LORI PARLIN?????
To be fair, it is not her problem of people buy houses in a known flood plain.
Counting the hours until I hear how the rain was caused by climate change.
When it is all over start digging wells,drains,etc etc etc etc 🙄😏🤔 and pray alot 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 geez
🙏🙏🙏
Karma for stolen Indigenous land
"Sandbags working overtime".
The city has other issues to deal with besides investing in it's infrastructure to prevent situations like this. Namely funding stuff like transient housing, methadone clinics, reparations committees, abortion clinics, etc. You know, the important stuff.
😅🤣😅🤣😅..... Go Newson!! Keep voting blue and watch it all come true!!

Something is telling me deja vu is going to happen and it’s gonna suddenly stop rain for months on end like it did last winter

INSURANCE COMPANYS WON'T COVER FLOODS IN FLOOD PRONE AREAS..
Haa yuppies want to live in nature
Its not his fault for buying a house in a flood plan no its the government and the tax payers that should pay to fix his problem you bought it you deal with it
Um, that is what the "easement" the homeowner mentioned is for, draining water. You know, infrastructure that the city didn't maintain?? Or did you fall asleep when he said that?
actually placerville is considered "minor risk" for flooding. This event is unusual. It is not in a federally designated flood plain.
@@edmessina8392 if you look around and there's no slop for water to run off its going to flood
HERE'S A TIP FOR YOU,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,MOVE TO HIGH GROUND......WHY BUILD A HOME WHEN YOU KNOW 1 DAY IT MAY FLOOD...HELLO..
