[QUOTE="Lammie, post: 452934, member: 3306"] No, I can't imagine losing everything. That happens sometimes in spite of our best efforts to the contrary. I do, however, try to take steps to avoid disaster, and that means not living one the sea shore or on a dry hillside, where when it does rain, it washes the whole house away, or on a barrier island that is designed to take the brunt of storms. It is bad enough when you thought you were okay only to have the area grow up around you, turning your gently babbling brook into a destructive torrent when all the run off dumps into it. I have seen houses that were high and dry wash away because of that. I don't guess that there's anything to be done about the latter, but I think that we shouldn't be allowed to live just anywhere because we have the money to build a house. Not when it has a negative impact on everyone paying for home owner's insurance. You can't even get home owner's policies from some major carriers in this state because of all the claims. [/QUOTE]
