Those models are pretty good, but the more extreme the event the lower the accuracy of the model. And ultimately it is just a planning tool and using it to find street address level accuracy is just plain stupid.

Here's is a list of why your remarks are contemptible:<br /><br /><br />1.From the first announcement, included was a direction to MEMA's site and phone number for specific information. That site included a list of expected at risk areas that was and is extremely specific. Last night, there was a stream listing every street and area in Jackson at risk. It's even alphabetical. The news channel have an easy click to the information on their sites. <br /><br />2.Not everyone has the financial means to evacuate their belongings, physically move their " stuff" and pets or who even have a place they can afford to go. Even when those who do, there aren't enough UHauls. They don't have a truck or van. Relocating costs money. You've got to buy food. Going to a shelter is a " last resort" for most humans.<br /><br />3.Not everyone can afford flood insurance or to take a loss and still get into another house. <br /><br />4.Those who can afford to evacuate do. Some of them even have the resources lined up to get back in their homes quickly. They don't have to wait for insurance or assistance from anywhere. They've wait the costs and benefits of relocating and decided to simply keep fixing the damage.<br /><br />5. This is the second " hundred year flood" in just less than 21 years. In the one in 1979, hundreds of the homes flood were not in the flood plain for even a 100 year flood.<br /><br />6. Number 5 is the excuse "the powers that were" used not to take measures to better protect Jackson from flooding save cleaning out some creeks ONE time after the Easter flood of 1979. And, the greedy certainly didn't want to stop from paving over more which means the water runs off instead of being absorbed. More than a few good plans existed then when the costs would have been less and the money could have been obtained. And, the warnings from this administration and response from MEMA is far better now than then.<br /><br />Really, some of you really are awful examples of humanity. <br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2447438783001404385.post-37700230035835073262020-02-14T14:47:30.947-06:002020-02-14T14:47:30.947-06:00Because of Baby Chok's astute leadership, sand...Because of Baby Chok's astute leadership, sand and sandbags will only be available between the hours of 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM, closed weekends and holidays.
