        This is a pretty shoddy reporting. How about actually talking to knowledgeable people affected by Harvey in SE TX instead of a DC lobbyist?

        Because the Harvey victims were covered non-stop, as Sharyl's show is for the stories you haven't heard. I'm from Texas, I didn't know this.

        I am at the national audience who, like Paula, I think haven't heard this info for the most part. I try to report underserved stories primarily, not repeat the ones we've all heard.

        Yes, like I said, I'm from Texas, but live in LA now- this story matters to my family there as a local story, and me, as a taxpayer.

        The federal flood insurance rewards stupidity in zoning.

        That came out a little during "Sandy", but not having an honest news media any longer not many have heard, or will hear!

        There is no flood-insurance clause in the Constitution. Feds have NO BUSINESS being involved in this. Kill the program -- period!!!

        Sharyl, may I suggest contacting George Kasimos at Stop Fema Now. He's led the grassroots charge on storm issues starting with Sandy.
