Foreclosed Homes in Florida Might Become Hurricane Shelters
Well, they are known for their hurricanes! It’s nice to see that someone’s trying to make the best of the crappy real-estate market (crappy for sellers, that is). I stumbled upon this article from the Miami Herold that explains that recently foreclosed homes in Florida might be put to use as temporary hurricane relief shelters. After conducting a drill of a Category 4 storm, they realized that not looking into this as an option would be foolish. From the article:
“The drill’s scenario: a Category 4 storm nearly bankrupts the state, displaces one million residents, destroys homes and schools, and even frees zoo monkeys that terrorize Floridians.
During the weeklong exercise, Almaguer said, it didn’t take long for the 250 state, federal and local officials to figure out that neither Florida nor FEMA has enough shelter space to house the newly homeless.”
I think after the fiasco in February of this year with that Connecticut “domesticated” chimp, we wouldn’t any zoo monkeys to roam the streets freely. We all know what monkeys are capable of! Lol!
