Sarasota County neighborhood is still suffering with flood water and wondering when help will come

If you cannot assure proper draining the allotment is not built no matter the potential tax gain

Prayers to all that have been affected by this storm. 🙏❤️🙏

Sarasota County isnt doing SHIT for their people

I live here. The county, state and Fema are not gonna do 1 thing to help, except tell us they are gonna help, but will do nothing.

Using FEMA money to rebuild in these disaster guaranteed areas is ridiculous. This will just keep happening.

Living in Florida without flood insurance is like living on the moon without oxygen.

This from 2003. I can only imagine how much more and how much lower in elevation they have built since: A series of severe thunderstorms brought heavy rainfall and flooding to southwest central Florida during June 21 - 24, 2003. The storms and result ant precipitation were caused by a late-season stationary cool front (Canadian high pressure ridge) that combined with tropi cal moisture from the Gulf of Mexico to produce above normal rainfall over already saturated ground (National Weather Service, writlen com mun., 2003). Rainfall totals at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamflow-gaging sta tions ranged from 9 to 17 inches and record flooding occurred in parts of Charlotte, De Soto, Hardee, Manatee, and Sarasota Counties, Florida (fig. 1). The floods caused $11.3 million in damage to public and private properly, including damage or destruction of 119 homes (Binette and Saewitz, 2003).

Does this mean that their taxes will go down now since the houses are now in a flood zone?

It is very strange that sheriffs aren't there or some LE presence.

Thank you for reporting on this🙏

I've lived in Florida my whole life and if you think our government is going to help you with storm damage think again. We have the highest insurance rates and the worst coverage. There are people still fighting for insurance settlements from Ian and you have to hire an adjuster who takes 10 percent of your settlement! Desantis took in millions for his PAC from insurance companies and he has done very little to help hard working Floridians. Ive had homes damaged from hurricanes and I had to do all the work, etc.

No one is looting a waste high flooded home. Give it up

Got to think of the solution, not just the problem. What can be done in 5 years, 10 years to prevent this? They could create giant boring mechanical machines that can keep digging and digging a new area that would become a reservoir. They might take a couple of days to have an effect, but they probably would.

An investigation of what. You are 16 ft above mean sea level. Stop stating you do not live in a flood zone. Ffs people are dense.

0 pity for the rich and well off, dont like it? Move! If you can afford a home in the nice part of Sarasota, sell and move

I lived in the meadows. The drainage was shit for years. Nearly killed my BMW driving into my neighborhood cause the parking lot area flooded every single time it rained. THIS IS NEGLIGENCE.

OH GREAT LETS ALL MOVE TO FLORIDA...NOTT ...FLORIDA IS JUST NOT WORTH IT...ALOHA FROM HAWAII 😎
