Some of it has to be political, in some areas they remove the homes and buy the property and re-zone it so houses can't be built. Heck I live West of Mason City Iowa, they had a big flood in 2008 and they took down houses that were 80-100 years old without previous claims and won't allow those areas to be built on. Back in the 90's we had a big flood on the Ohio Valley and some communities in Southern Ohio and Northern Kentucky had similar instances where houses were torn down and open spaces were created. Our fleet manager at the location I worked at mentioned that the town he grew up in had 20-25% of the houses in the city torn down after that flood. It also seems there used to be some regulations about what you could re-build or improvements on property in flood zones, when I was stationed at McDill AFB there were houses on the east side of the Tampa peninsula that were being raised up 10-12 feet, literally they picked some of these big old craftsman era houses up and put them on concrete stilts. Our realtor explained that if a renovation went over a certain percentage of the property value they had to raise all occupied spaces above the predicted storm surge of a certain sized hurricane. Must be one of those rules are only for SOME folks situations.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
