Can you take that to the Properly Sealed Nautical thread, please?

Don't forget Italian film star Terence Hill

"But they don't live in flood zones and didn't flood with Florence"

All wrong Every one of you Don't call it a comeback, I been here for years I'm rocking my peers, putting suckas in fear Making the tears rain down like a monsoon Listen to the bass go boom Explosions, overpowering Over the competition, I'm towering Wrecking shop when I drop These lyrics that'll make you call the cops Don't you dare stare, you better move Don't ever compare Me to the rest that'll all get sliced and diced Competition's paying the price

I copied and pasted OMG I reread this. Very consistent for you.

sure sure. I'll take Simone. Guess which one is which (does not include 2024)? BTW, did you not realize I posted Chris Kattan? Which is which?

Kerri is a little burly but I guess some people are into that...

Time to fire up the olds...

Do we really know that's Greg Abbott? Some people say there are doubts.

Just be happy you're not going to Aruba... otherwise you definitely would be screwed. @BearSchlong better to battle for that insurance money (a - early bird/claim gets the worm and b - squeaky wheel gets the grease... trust me) than to beg for FEMA scraps BTW, not saying flood insurance is cheap... in fact 4x more than before sucks buuuuut...

If you squint ,that 45 kind of looks like something else... what could it be, what could it be. Also, someone help me figure out why a Puerto Rican would vote for someone who treated them like he did.

j/k you know its like rooting against the Yankees or Tiger Woods or anyone else who dominates a sport.

RE: chainsaw, y'all just need to ignore him and not respond. Otherwise...

Let me put it this way... 2015 Memorial Day storm dumped 11" on my neighborhood... 5" in an hour. Our back drains understandably couldn't handle the water so some started coming in the weep holes. Our back kitchen area was polished concrete so we just sat there and push broomed the water out the garage door. Got the water out, mopped up and let it dry and cleaned the floor. It was a stressful night. I said, "F that!? I don't want to stress about it anymore" and got flood insurnace. Fast forward to 2017... my (since that night) sump pump kept water out of the house without any problems... pumped 70 gpm out to the street even in flood waters. Water was not coming in from the back like 2015. Come Tuesday they opened the floodgates on Barker Dam. So, water came in all of our houses. Sump pump can't drain an entire part of Houston. I'll still remember watching everyone muck out their houses. None of us were in a flood plain so of all the houses I could visually see, no one around us had flood insurance. Yeah... its an extra expense but... I watched that MF'er start to fill up... the water breach was less than a block from us. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=1665598153513500

Bill... you've got Irish and English ancestry but you were born in the US? Which one are you??? You have to pick one. Oh... https://www.businessinsider.com/irish-mock-bill-oreilly-for-saying-heritage-excludes-him-from-white-privilege-2018-7

Nope... that water comes in from the outside, I'm pretty sure your homeowner's insurance will laugh at you. Under most standard home insurance policies, if water damage occurs suddenly or accidentally from a source inside your home, such as a busted pipe, it will likely be covered by your homeowners insurance. If the water comes from outside your home, it will not be covered by your standard policy. However, you can seek special protection from flood-related damages with flood insurance, which is a separate policy that can make a smart addition to your existing home coverage. https://www.nationwide.com/lc/resources/home/articles/does-homeowners-insurance-cover-water-damage#:~:text=If the water comes from,to your existing home coverage.

Likewise, someone has to explain to me the Italian migration to Collie Station. Clearly something took a very wrong direction and we ended up with the Liucci family offspring.

Nah, they're all in on other bands...

MAGA: Oh yeah!? Yellowman!!! He's yellow like cheese. Checkmate! j/k - No way MAGA is cool enough to know about Yellowman.

I remember the post-Harvey statistics... the average payout by insurance to homeowners who had flood insurance was something like $140,000. The average payout by FEMA to homeowners without flood insurance was around $4,000. As for flooding during this big storms... https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/article/In-Harvey-s-deluge-most-damaged-homes-were-12794820.php Some highlights from the article... "The new data supports those concerns. More than half of the homes damaged by Harvey were outside all flood plain designations, meaning that such building rules, had they been in place during Harvey, still would have fallen short of protecting more than 100,000 Harris County homes. Along Interstate 69 south of the Galleria, a few blocks in the Uptown neighborhood have flooded every year for the past three, yet they still aren’t considered part of the flood plain." "More than half of the structures damaged during the Tax Day floods in 2016 were outside the 100-year flood plain, similar to the pattern during Harvey." "More than a third of structures damaged during the Memorial Day floods in 2015 were outside the 100-year flood plain, similar to the pattern during Harvey." "“Not in a flood plain? So they say,” Blanton said. “But every time it rains we get flooded the heck out. Last time, I put my wife on the roof. I put my daughter on the roof. I put four dogs on the roof.”

Yup. My house was built in 1959 and never flooded... until Harvey. I was zone X. I also know people who didn't flood during Harvey and did not live in flood zones who flooded in Houston over the past couple of years. Overbuilding, poor drainage, more and more storm events with heavier rain... it's better safe than sorry. When my street flooded during Harvey (one of many in our neighborhood) we were the only ones with flood insurance.

How has she not lunged at his throat, yet?
