You know, I love Florence, AL, but if it's landscape were such that another disaster just like the one recently experienced was a given, I'd move. As much as I sympatize with the hell those people went through, I think it's foolish to rebuild that city and we will all pay for it when disaster strikes again. I feel like any money that has or will be used to rebuild that city would be more wisely used to help them relocate.

Agreed, Joy. I understand their wanting to go home, but let's be realistic no real measures have been taken to secure this from happening again. I learned a Bible story about the foolish man building his house upon the sand a long time ago.

My hometown flooded and people losted everything it was a mess, but because they were able to rebuild and some started over they were able to find peace and a belief in the state again. There maybe some people still homeless but even they I hope will have love showed to them also by the Grace of God. We all need to be more caring with everyone regardless of race, You gained nothing for yourself God gave you all that you have just to see what kinda people he raised up. How could any of you open your mouth, walk or talk without God being a part of the process. God let people lend a helping hand only to get that hand slapped when that people thought they got what they wanted. Everywhere you go people are always bragging about what they got, and how they made what they have and now people want to take that away stop being asses wake up before all you have collaspe with you still in your stew.
