Thesaurus posted:Did anyone stay on Sanibel? Because if so... Lol but also yes, and sanibel is one of the places where i don't think we know the full extent of the carnage (literal and infrastructural) yet because they're cut off and out of power. very evident that no one is posting to snap map from there when it's returned from other places. i don't think folks there evacuated and right now everything has to be flown in and out. keep in mind that sanibel is a rich resort town but, like all such towns, is supported by a low-wage underclass living in poorly built and/or trailer homes inland and not on high ground. not clear those folks could evacuate if they were expected to be at work next day. err posted:Is there any active count of deaths/missing? The sheriff said hundreds dead. my suspicion is that we won't know for weeks because right now they're literally still wading into collapsed houses and finding bodies

Roofs on Sanibel Island look less bad than I expected, my expectations being set mostly by Ida. There’s still a ton of destruction visible, plus all the invisible waterlogging.

When a house gets flooded in the UK, it fucks it for months, as flooring, plaster, electrics etc all need to be ripped out and replaced. Are these Florida properties designed differently, so a soaking doesn't do too much harm so long as the structure remains intact? Was just wondering if there's any mitigating strategies you can use when building somewhere like that.

No, most of the intact looking structures will still need major renovation if not complete rebuilding for reasons like that. The stronger hurricane materials/building methods mainly make it safer to be in during a hurricane, the flooding is still going to gently caress everything up

Yes, the process is called “selling to a house flipper who will dry wall over all the rot, mold, and electrical damage and sell to some sucker who will be left holding the bag when they discover it” I don’t think people in other countries realize how warped America is where even your everyday people have had their brains crack pinged so much that everyone is trying to figure out how to grift off everyone else 24/7 because we’ve destroyed any sense of morality beyond “making money for yourself at all costs and at the expense of others is the only good moral” Dr. VooDoo has issued a correction as of 14:59 on Sep 30, 2022 |

Was just wondering if there's any mitigating strategies you can use when building somewhere like that. No, there's a pretty good chance that any house where water reached the second floor (so basically anywhere in the path of the worst storm surge that's not on stilts) is probably getting stripped down to the frame at a minimum. Even the salvageable ones probably won't have crews in place quick enough to avoid moisture damage just ruining the whole house. Also absolutely everything in those houses is going to be ruined by moisture, including poo poo on upper levels that the storm surge didn't reach.

I think since you're coming from the UK where the perspective on property is that it's expected to stand for an extremely long time, over several generations is what throwing you off. Here in America, the houses are not built to last longer than 20 to 30 years. That's not a cheaply made either. Those are thought of as a well made house, the cheap houses last only 5 years here in America

A more accurate description of how a lot of florida housing is designed would be effectively disposable mobile/manufactured homes placed in high-density suburb-style neighborhoods. They aren't built to withstand poo poo, the expectation is a replacement home will be brought in

I specifically looked for pre-1990 houses due to this, ended up buying a 1978 house. My house has it's issues, but nowhere near the poo poo I'm hearing from people living in five year old houses. When I do any work behind the walls it's a bitch because of how sturdy and well-made the studs are, whereas new houses are made of cheese.

Was just wondering if there's any mitigating strategies you can use when building somewhere like that. 2 years ago our water heater had some valve fail and it dumped its contents all over our garage floor, and because a brain genius built our house, the slab in the garage is sloped toward the entrance to the home. so a poo poo ton of water got under the vinyl flooring down there. didn't matter how quickly we broomed + toweled + got fans set up in there, that floor was turbo hosed and had to get ripped up and replaced. and that was just like an inch of water. so no, any house that had flood waters enter it needs between 'some work' and 'to be rebuilt'
