One in particular has the dike built higher than the house itself. If someone did not tell you there was a house behind the mud wall you would never know it was there. Others have not touched their homes at all and you wonder where their priorities lie. One homeowner in particular, knowing that his brand new house would more than likely be swept away, asked his bank for a loan to move it to higher ground. The bank refused and when we drove by there was a moving company loading up their trucks.
Neighbors report the owner handed the keys to the bank on hearing their refusal and walked away.
