You have to show show for what de -- tell you probably get -- him.
And we're forgetting when we've been displaced right positioned and all the from places -- it's here we are.
The storm and the aftermath -- you have some personal issues because you don't even know about your beacon.
And I mean it that makes it not that they can't Friday they can get -- see what kind of damage there is no once called say hey.
Can you go check how Scott literally there was that their pictures of the the street to my house down with three feet of water so it can't be good would interpret it as it's -- it's going to be -- now why -- you have insurance.
I don't believe in flood insurance private companies won't sell you flood insurance yet you have to go through the feds in which means.
For the few geniuses like me who -- the house on you know.
It's flood.
I don't area prone areas the rest the country has to pick up in the insurance sides don't believe it whenever never did.
I can't be against it on TV.
And then use it.
And you know -- he -- -- because it's usually an amendment to your insurance policies -- do you have regular home insurance our home insurance and some -- -- will be covered -- likely not gonna cover much of what's happening there.
And again.
Some of these insurance policies.
Water damage is different from wind damage they can say it was wind -- -- you don't get.
That's that's I was asking Peter Johnson when he used in the segment about.
You know calling your insurer and its -- that that I'm wondering if it's going to be a problem for -- because it was not deemed her kids from my -- serve as -- dean -- what why I would think.
Mean because of it -- actually get sets -- to another level if it's a hurricane alleged they may not storm yeah yeah I do because having having grown up in tornado Alley.
In Minnesota -- where our home was completely devastated when I was seventeen years old and -- home time.
They never categorize it as a tornado.
And consequently the insurance dollars were much different -- straight line winds yet I was in was very controversial for the people who survived that -- -- If I don't because I don't know this in the after the show -- show can you pull up video.
Mean can they pull of that data as sexist and Tiffany -- uptick but watching a show that Mitt.
This is all of this is -- But I don't think it matters if you call it hurts it or not you don't.
That's damage -- but I can tell you right now I've been to any money there's going to be technicality Easter the National Weather Service at -- whoever whoever determined that it wasn't a hurricane.
Coming in here emanated they didn't give hurricane warnings because they religious content tropical storm moving into a nor'easter at the time right.
I -- any money there's going to be now at some of the -- the word you couple played in Point Pleasant had eighty mile an hour winds at one point.
That's like probably category tour that has at least a category one hurricane.
Level winds but not maybe not when it the shoreline.
Meeting that's -- American people and play that game.
Don't trust -- I don't play that game -- may be if it technically says you know because they're so adamant about the flooding aspect to it but these PC.
He -- what's happened the whole short line has been eaten away it's actually the -- that the -- pushed into the into the short line.
If he does it ever receive.
I don't know I and I'm pretty sure -- this thing was all I don't know maybe the producers and -- was all built on and on and silence.
On stilts over the water I think so remember that before picture do we have the before picture of the roller coaster before the damage.
I think it was built on stilts if mind and so the whole time -- -- -- was built over the water maybe that wasn't.
Of the smartest things -- do the start.
But that is an instant question in general whether or not the water now recedes once -- eroded.
The beach front that -- to just go through this in Long Beach Jersey.
A couple years ago they tried to build up the the beach front because it had been running for something else but -- can get the hole and that's -- the house's my house is they get the whole.
The whole link -- -- on the island look -- -- -- right so it was over the waters start with so and then things got washed away.
I guess that would make sense because there really aren't any beaches on the East Coast.
Up this way that have a Long Beach front.
You know long amount of sand so if you want to put in -- in part on the beach you have to put part of a constant -- mean why why do you start up like.
Okay.
At -- -- and I mean.
-- -- -- why but the but the -- all right I still like and we'll be back here tomorrow night.
