No link to the Chron report about repeat flood offenders not being knocked off the NFIP rolls due to improper enforcements?
.
“One of the nation’s worst properties in this regard, a house on the San Jacinto River in Kingwood, has had 22 flood insurance claims totaling more than $2.5 million since 1979. That’s at least eight times what the house is worth, according to the data.”
.
“Seven of the nation’s 10 most frequently substantially damaged properties are in Houston. Those seven have had 107 damage claims totaling $9 million, even though the combined value of those buildings is just $426,000.”
The 22 claim home is on Lake Point Dr. in 77339 just south of Hamblen Rd. (the round house). How you get to 22 just blows my mind.; avg 1 every 664 days.
“Giant” sinkhole? Really? Giant?
It’s a big pothole but I expected something big enough to drop a car into. I’m calling “clickbait” on this one.
