To the person who called the flood victims "idiots" for not having flood insurance, here's an excerpt from a story in the paper today:
"Businesses in Carnegie, in particular, are facing a difficult time because they weren't eligible for flood insurance. Despite Chartiers Creek overflowing its banks 11 days ago, the borough's business district isn't considered to be in a flood plain, so insurance isn't available; regular business insurance doesn't cover damage caused by floods, so no one will reimburse them for their losses.
"These are not people who were told they needed flood insurance and decided they wanted to save a buck and didn't buy it," said Onorato, noting that as of yesterday, 1,060 businesses across the county reported flood damage."
Honestly, all I want is a retraction of the statement calling people idiots. I drive through this town every day, and even now, a week and a half later, it is an absolute mess. These people have also been told that they will not be able to receive ANY grant money.
You're out walking the street in a nice quiet neighborhood and get shot in the chest. Should I call you an idiot for not wearing a bulletproof vest?
