Default Re: A letter from Michael Moore

I live on an Island north of Atlantic City, We had a storm in 1962 that almost wiped us out.
You can not build or remodel a house here unless you put all living space and mechanicals above the elevation 10 mark, which basically means 10 feet above sea level. and all if not most must be on pilings set at least 20 feet in the ground.
If we get a storm like that you will see a bunch of houses sitting way up in the air, if they survive that is..
New codes as of Nov. last year are now for 110mph which would still not be good enough if a storm like Katrina hit.
If one comes Ill be in Nevada watching it on tv..
