These people *****ing about the river damaging their propety kind of remind me of the time I was living in Dallas.

All three years I lived there a river (the Trinity?) flooded out pretty much the same people. Each year people whined about what a tragedy it was and federal disaster relief money was poured in to rebuild their homes only to have them destroyed again the next year.

Duh!! Maybe its not the brightest idea in the world to be living in a flood plain. I believe after the third year there was some talk of a federal buyout and putting the land off limits to development. Not sure what happened with that, but I wouldn't be suprised if we tax payers are still rebuilding the homes every year to this day.

My point is that if you choose to live in a flood plain don't be suprised if you get flooded. Nobody is making these people live there, if they don't like it they should move.
