    No silver linings there.

      Are you retarded? Those people only have the money BECAUSE of the flooding.

      Oh, it's SO. Question a little redundant.

        No, they don't. They have money because the government paid them to clean up floods instead of paying them to make icecream.

          But what if the same thing happens again before long? The phrase Damocles Sword comes to mind.

          Also, I wonder what their home insurance quotes will look like at renewal time.

            They'll probably be fine. I'm sure I heard something recently about how people who suffer from flooding shouldn't be denied insurance, or charged extortionate premiums, and the government will make sure this is so.

            Of course, that would mean everyone who has chosen to live somewhere that doesn't get flooded has to pay more, as a "flood subsidy", but nevermind - we wouldn't want people to feel any consequences for their choices.
