DEMA? Sounds about right, Damned Emergency Management Agency! Dense,
Dumb, Dastardly, Dull, Deceptive ..?

I know the Dumb is right, maybe I can get some Custom Made Alligator
boots or something outta the flood. Should I demand a credit card yet?
I should get a years lease in a new condo here on the lake to boot
right? Thats fair right? I'm due right? ;0)

I think you should get half a mil for taking important flood mitagation
measures on your pier, after all you saved the Gulf from Lord knows how
much harm when you singlhandedly prevented the ingress of no less tha
two vehicles! ;-)

Joe, I've a hint for you. It worked for the tide surge floods here last
year during
Wilma. Get the biggest blue tarp you can find. Lay it out on the ground.
Drive your car
onto it. Park it right in the middle. Then bring up the tarp all around
your car and
tie it on top with a rope. As long as the tarp doesn't have a hole or get
a hole your
car will even float but it'll stay dry. It's a cheap way to save your car
from a small
flood. I guess it's too late this time but remember it next time.

Cheers,
Ellen
