Should You Rebuild After a Hurricane or Just Move On? https://ift.tt/2Fdf9K4
There were eight hurricanes during the 2018 hurricane season and ten during the 2017 hurricane season. These storms cause billions of dollars in damage each year. If a hurricane damages your home, should you rebuild on the same spot or move to another area? It’s not a question with a simple yes or no answer. But we reached out to several experts to learn some of the factors that can help you make an informed decision.
Level of damage and insurance
Hurricanes often cause flooding. Image: JodiJacobson/Getty Images
“A homeowner’s decision to rebuild after a hurricane will likely depend on how much damage they sustained to their property, and how much of that will be covered by their insurance policy,” according to Peter Duncanson, Disaster Restoration Expert at ServiceMaster Restore. His company specializes in minimizing the impact of weather damage.
“Once it’s safe to return and assess the situation, you should call your insurance agent and begin the claim filing process for any major damages as soon as possible.” However, be cautious when entering your home for the first time after a hurricane. Duncanson recommends that you take several necessary safety precautions. “And be sure to wear protective gear, as broken debris and standing water can pose serious health risks in your home,” he says.
Another person with first-hand experience dealing with the aftermath of a hurricane is Robert Himmaugh, Manager at Acadian Windows and Siding in Kenner, LA. “Catastrophe can hit your home in many ways, but here along the Gulf Coast, our number one threat is hurricanes,” he says. “Each year from June to November, we are faced with the possibility of being in the direct line of one of these storms.”
Himmaugh also believes the two deciding factors are the extent of your home’s damage and the insurance coverage you have. “If you have a policy that includes temporary living expenses and replacement cost, then rebuilding might be the best option,” he says. However, Himmaugh warns that rebuilding could actually turn into a full remodeling job. This is because most homeowners will want to upgrade instead of just replace lost items. “If you do decide to rebuild, make sure to invest in hurricane windows, a laminated glass that holds together when hit with blunt force,” he suggests.
Flood zones
Flood insurance is not a part of your standard insurance policy. Image: orundongel/Getty Images
Your standard insurance policy may not cover everything, something that many homeowners don’t know. “Flood damage often requires a completely separate policy, and water damage can be one of the main reasons you have to rebuild,” Himmaugh says. If your home has sustained significant water damage, he warns that it can lead to mold, rot and the complete deterioration of your home. “In this case, it’s best to move on rather than take on the massive expense it will take to rebuild,” Himmaugh says.
Chelsea Allard, VP of Design at Case Design in Charlotte, NC, agrees. She says that dealing with water damage after flooding requires special considerations. “In some municipalities, it’s illegal to build in a flood zone. Or you can, but completely at your own risk as the property is uninsurable,” Allard says.
She does not recommend rebuilding homes and infrastructure in coastal areas that are constantly being hit by hurricanes. “The building standards should be much, much stricter in coastal communities. I believe that the practice of continuously building housing in vulnerable areas is immoral,” Allard says.
Other factors
Demolition on a hurricane-ravaged home. Image courtesy of Nathan Outlaw at Onvico.
Nathan Outlaw is the President of Onvico, a construction company in Thomasville, GA. However, his company frequently works in neighboring Florida. They are currently restoring several homes on the Gulf that were destroyed by the last hurricane. In the photo above, you can see where the company has started demolition on a home with water damage.
“I think a flooded home is worth rebuilding,” Outlaw says. “Usually the flood damage will not be so great that repair costs are higher than the value of the home in good condition.” He points out that since flooded homes tend to be close to rivers, ponds or the ocean, they’re often in desirable locations. “This means they will continue to be somewhere that people want to live in the future.”
Only use reputable companies. Image: skynesher/Getty Images
Outlaw’s view is supported by Richard and Judith Woods, Owners of Albany Woodworks in Tickfaw, LA. In 2005, a New Orleans home that they owned flooded during Hurricane Katrina and they rebuilt it. And then, in 2016, their family home flooded during a freak rainstorm.
They agree that the extent of the damage and insurance considerations are important. But they also point out other factors. According to Richard, the most important question is this: “Are you healthy enough to handle the stress of losing your home and the strain of navigating the tricky world of rebuilding post-disaster?”
He says the 2016 flood took a huge toll on him emotionally. Even though he never considered not renovating the home, Richard believes it’s important for people to understand the reality. Rebuilding after a disaster is not the same as a project to transform your basement or design a trendy, new bathroom.
And if you’re not in a state of mind to rebuild, Judith says it may be better to take the insurance money and move on. She also says homeowners should weigh the chances of another hurricane. They should also consider whether they can even get insurance if they rebuild in the same spot.
Additional tips
Get the water out of your home as soon as possible. Image: Onur Dongel/Getty Images
It’s often hard to think clearly in the aftermath of a hurricane. However, our experts say there are some things you need to do as soon as possible. “It can be devastating and overwhelming to process the extent of the storm’s impact on your property, but remember to take pictures of any damage you see. Also, take detailed notes for your insurance claim and personal records,” advises Duncanson. “Once you’ve assessed the damage and salvaged what you can, flood damage restoration experts at companies like mine can help you make the necessary repairs and get you back up on your feet as quickly as possible.”
Outlaw agrees that you should take immediate action to mitigate future damage. “Homeowners should go ahead and get the water out, set up a dehumidifier and remove wet drywall and insulation, if possible,” he says. “Removing moisture and preventing mold will help keep future mitigation costs more reasonable.”
He also recommends getting several quotes before any service is performed. “A natural disaster has a tendency to bring out contractors who only want to take the money and run — or who will overcharge clients for the work performed,” Outlaw warns. “Be sure to carefully go over any proposal and don’t give anyone money up front.”

C.E. Montague’s Judith is overwritten and weighed down by purple prose, but it’s a good glimpse into the business of espionage during the Great War, and the unnamed cheeky pilot character could fairly easily be our friend Allard. Which is the sort of thing I was hoping for when I picked up this anthology, so huzzah.
#crimefighter commentary#the oxford book of spy stories#this assumes Allard as working for the British#and I don't know how it meshes with the Russian revolution timeline-wise#but that's beside the point

hi nick! i'm making this huge list of books i want to read and i've asked my friends to recommend me their favourites/books-in-their-opinion-everyone-should-read-at-least-once. could you recommend me your favourites? top 10/20/30 (all you have in mind). i decided to ask my favourie people on tumblr too :)
Oh my goodness.
I am very honored to be a favorite!
I’ll give you my top ten. This was a little bit difficult because I wanted to come across as cool with my reading material, as if I read a lot of philosophical stuff, but the truth is, I don’t. I’m a massive Stephen King fan so he’ll be a repeat on this list and I love mainstream novels, so here we go.
In order:
1. The Dark Tower series by Stephen King
I had been following Roland on his quest for the Dark Tower for seventeen years by the time I finished the eight book long series. This series means everything to me. I live by so much of what’s inside these pages. The series follows Roland Deschain on his travels between worlds, seeking the Dark Tower. I can’t say enough about this series. You’ll find all sorts of Easter eggs, especially if you’re an avid SK reader. What has really stuck with me is how much I love a relatively selfish man. I have experienced a lot of emotions reading this series and I’ve not met a single person who has made it to the end of the journey without some tears of sadness, joy, and anger. Go, then, there are other worlds than these.
Tip: The 8th book, The Wind Through The Keyhole, was the last book to be released, but it is not the 8th in the series. Think of it more as 4.5, to be read after Wizard and Glass and before Wolves Of The Calla. It’s not really required reading, but it does give a little more insight.
2. The Long Walk by Richard Bachman/Stephen King
Released in 1979 under King’s pseudonym, you can now find The Long Walk on Amazon and in book shops under Stephen King. Should you find any original covers such as the one above, hold on to it because it’s worth a lot these days. The Long Walk is SK’s dystopian offering, with some citing it as the inspiration for modern stories such as Battle Royal or The Hunger Games. Raymond Garraty participates, along with 99 other young boys, in the annual Long Walk. From the time you pick it up, you won’t be able to put it down. It’s genius in its simplicity, bringing a suspense, tension, and unease I don’t often experience in any medium.
3. The Rapture of Canaan by Sheri Reynolds
I came across this little gem at a garage sale. It was a five cent buy, but it was worth so much more for me. Ninah is a young woman who lives on a religious compound and finds herself pregnant with what she believes to be the child of Christ. This novel is beautiful and poignant. For such an easy, short read, it packs quite the punch. Highly recommended. There are several trigger warnings here for talk of religion, child abuse, teen pregnancy, underage sex, and coercion into sex.
4. Duma Key by Stephen King
As someone who lives with TBI, this novel helped me so much. King does an amazing job of capturing what it’s really like to live with a TBI, especially those first vulnerable years after a traumatic accident. After an accident at work, Edgar’s life begins to fall apart. He moves to spend time in the Florida Keys at a house he’s rented that he dubs Big Pink. While there, he finds that he can suddenly create beautiful works of art, but the art doesn’t come from him. It comes from somewhere else. Duma Key holds its own secrets which Edgar unfolds throughout the novel. It’s a definitely favorite.
5. Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis
You might think that Warren Ellis had a premonition of the cultural and political clusterfuck the world would get itself into in the very near future. People are starving, there’s righteous apathy, too much indulgence in the comforts of technology and too little human compassion, most especially from our greedy president. Oh, wait, I mean THEIR greedy president. Enter Spider Jerusalem, a gonzo journalist who descends from his mountain on high to deliver justice in only the way that he can. I’m not really one for comic books, but please give this graphic novel series a chance. You won’t regret it.
More under the jump.
6. Sounder by William H. Armstrong
This was one of those books I was made to read in fifth grade, but it’s also a novel that has stuck with me over the years. This book is about much more than a boy and his dog. It is a story of a boy who has to become a man early on in life due to the times. This novel follows the boy as he takes on family responsibilities and teaches him things like how to read and take care of others. This book is extremely sad, but it’s powerful. I recommend reading it with a box of tissues next to you.
7. Miss Nelson Is Missing Harry Allard and James Marshall
Miss Nelson Is Missing was my favorite book as a little kid. I think it actually started my interest in the horror genre because it was a little bit scary, but I read it over and over again. Miss Nelson’s unruly class has discovered that their teacher has gone missing and has been replaced by a not so nice teacher who gives them too much homework and detention. Has something happened to Miss Nelson? Is she ever coming back? Maybe if they’re better behaved, they’ll find out.
8. Good Omens by Terry Prachett and Neil Gaiman
You may have heard of this title, just as you’ve heard of its main characters. You may have even read it before as it’s relatively popular and for good reason. Our two friends (if one could call a demon a friend), Crowley and Aziraphale, have to save the world and you’re along to see them as they try to navigate this whole business of saving mankind all while discussing ducks and dolphins and what makes a sin a sin.
9. The Fear Street series by R.L. Stine
R.L. Stine ushered in my foray to more horror novels. Most people here on Tumblr are from the Goosebumps era, but I come from the Fear Street era. The stories were marketed mostly to young girls, but I found myself picking them up and not putting them down.
Favorite series within the series? Cheerleaders. I mean, there were cheerleaders. And death. Dun dun DUN!
10. Alexader and the Terrible, No Good, Very Bad Day by Judith Viorst
I realize there are a lot of children’s books on here, but I feel like the books we read as children help to shape who we are and this is a definite stand out. I’m not sure how many times I read this book, but man, I felt like I was Alexander on most days and I could relate to him. Thumbs up.
Anyway, that’s my top ten. I know you didn’t ask for little summaries, but there they are anyway. I hope you enjoyed!
P.S. You don’t have to take MY word for it.

Dal 28 al 30 marzo arriva LEBENSRAUM regia di Jakop Ahlbom, presentato per la prima volta in Italia alla Biennale di Venezia 2018. Lebensraum è teatro fisico con una punta di magia.
Il regista svedese Jakop Ahlbom, anche attore e acrobata, ha una grande passione per gli horror anni ’60 e le commedie anni ‘20.
Ahlbom porta la magia del muto su un palcoscenico teatrale con uno spettacolo divertente e brillante. Lebensraum (in italiano “spazio vitale”) si ispira all’universo di Buster Keaton e alla slapstick comedy e alle comiche dei pionieri del cinema come Stanlio e Ollio e Charlie Chaplin.
All’epoca, a fare da sottofondo alle proiezioni dei film c’era la musica di un pianoforte. Questo spettacolo sarà invece accompagnato dal gruppo Alamo Race Track: si crea così un originale e divertente contrasto tra le atmosfere visive anni Venti e la musica rock contemporanea. La storia racconta di due uomini che vivono in un piccolissimo appartamento.
Per risolvere il problema di uno spazio così stretto, i due hanno inventato mobili con una duplice funzione: il letto è anche un pianoforte, la libreria funge anche da frigorifero e così via … c’è tutto in casa, manca solo una donna. Decidono quindi di creare una bambola meccanica che li possa aiutare a svolgere i lavori domestici. Ma ben presto scoprono che la bambola pensa ed esprime opinioni e la loro vita viene spassosamente sconvolta.
La tensione sale tra i due sale, la stanza diventa sempre più piccola e il divertimento scoppia in sala grazie a gag irresistibili!

Nel 2000 ha realizzato la produzione di Stella Maris presso l’ Het Veem Theater.
Forgia il suo stile con elementi di mimo, teatro, danza, illusionismo e arriva così al suo linguaggio teatrale unico. Il lavoro di Ahlbom si concentra sulle persone che (spesso con difficoltà) si riferiscono a se stessi e al loro ambiente. Mostra come qualcuno si mantiene in un mondo che non è sempre quello che sembra. Ahlbom spesso sceglie il punto di vista di un personaggio centrale e attraverso il suo punto di vista, fa palpabili i sentimenti dei protagonisti al pubblico. Ahlbom esamina i limiti della nostra normale esistenza e cosa succede quando cerchi il confine o attraversi il confine.
L’amore è un tema importante nel lavoro di Ahlbom e lo usa come guida per i personaggi. Tragedia e umorismo sono elementi che Jakop Ahlbom lascia sempre andare insieme nelle sue esibizioni. Lo fa spesso in slapstick fisico. Jakop Ahlbom raggiunge un vasto pubblico. Egli usa lo stile e discipline come la danza, arti visive, musica, illusionismo, acrobazie, cinema, assurdo, la poesia e la magia diversa. L’immagine è fondamentale per il suo lavoro, immagini che collega a contenuti (a volte psicologici).
Nel 2012, Jakop Aalbom ha ricevuto il VSCD Mime Prize per la sua performance Lebensraum. La sua ultima Horror prestazioni selezionato per la fiamminga e olandese Festival del Teatro nel 2015 e nominato per il Premio VSCD Mime.

Should You Rebuild After a Hurricane or Just Move On?
There were eight hurricanes during the 2018 hurricane season and ten during the 2017 hurricane season. These storms cause billions of dollars in damage each year. If a hurricane damages your home, should you rebuild on the same spot or move to another area? It’s not a question with a simple yes or no answer. But we reached out to several experts to learn some of the factors that can help you make an informed decision.
Level of damage and insurance

“A homeowner’s decision to rebuild after a hurricane will likely depend on how much damage they sustained to their property, and how much of that will be covered by their insurance policy,” according to Peter Duncanson, Disaster Restoration Expert at ServiceMaster Restore. His company specializes in minimizing the impact of weather damage.
“Once it’s safe to return and assess the situation, you should call your insurance agent and begin the claim filing process for any major damages as soon as possible.” However, be cautious when entering your home for the first time after a hurricane. Duncanson recommends that you take several necessary safety precautions. “And be sure to wear protective gear, as broken debris and standing water can pose serious health risks in your home,” he says.
Another person with first-hand experience dealing with the aftermath of a hurricane is Robert Himmaugh, Manager at Acadian Windows and Siding in Kenner, LA. “Catastrophe can hit your home in many ways, but here along the Gulf Coast, our number one threat is hurricanes,” he says. “Each year from June to November, we are faced with the possibility of being in the direct line of one of these storms.”
Himmaugh also believes the two deciding factors are the extent of your home’s damage and the insurance coverage you have. “If you have a policy that includes temporary living expenses and replacement cost, then rebuilding might be the best option,” he says. However, Himmaugh warns that rebuilding could actually turn into a full remodeling job. This is because most homeowners will want to upgrade instead of just replace lost items. “If you do decide to rebuild, make sure to invest in hurricane windows, a laminated glass that holds together when hit with blunt force,” he suggests.
Flood zones

Your standard insurance policy may not cover everything, something that many homeowners don’t know. “Flood damage often requires a completely separate policy, and water damage can be one of the main reasons you have to rebuild,” Himmaugh says. If your home has sustained significant water damage, he warns that it can lead to mold, rot and the complete deterioration of your home. “In this case, it’s best to move on rather than take on the massive expense it will take to rebuild,” Himmaugh says.
Chelsea Allard, VP of Design at Case Design in Charlotte, NC, agrees. She says that dealing with water damage after flooding requires special considerations. “In some municipalities, it’s illegal to build in a flood zone. Or you can, but completely at your own risk as the property is uninsurable,” Allard says.
She does not recommend rebuilding homes and infrastructure in coastal areas that are constantly being hit by hurricanes. “The building standards should be much, much stricter in coastal communities. I believe that the practice of continuously building housing in vulnerable areas is immoral,” Allard says.
Other factors

Nathan Outlaw is the President of Onvico, a construction company in Thomasville, GA. However, his company frequently works in neighboring Florida. They are currently restoring several homes on the Gulf that were destroyed by the last hurricane. In the photo above, you can see where the company has started demolition on a home with water damage.
“I think a flooded home is worth rebuilding,” Outlaw says. “Usually the flood damage will not be so great that repair costs are higher than the value of the home in good condition.” He points out that since flooded homes tend to be close to rivers, ponds or the ocean, they’re often in desirable locations. “This means they will continue to be somewhere that people want to live in the future.”

Outlaw’s view is supported by Richard and Judith Woods, Owners of Albany Woodworks in Tickfaw, LA. In 2005, a New Orleans home that they owned flooded during Hurricane Katrina and they rebuilt it. And then, in 2016, their family home flooded during a freak rainstorm.
They agree that the extent of the damage and insurance considerations are important. But they also point out other factors. According to Richard, the most important question is this: “Are you healthy enough to handle the stress of losing your home and the strain of navigating the tricky world of rebuilding post-disaster?”
He says the 2016 flood took a huge toll on him emotionally. Even though he never considered not renovating the home, Richard believes it’s important for people to understand the reality. Rebuilding after a disaster is not the same as a project to transform your basement or design a trendy, new bathroom.
And if you’re not in a state of mind to rebuild, Judith says it may be better to take the insurance money and move on. She also says homeowners should weigh the chances of another hurricane. They should also consider whether they can even get insurance if they rebuild in the same spot.
Additional tips
Get the water out of your home as soon as possible. Image: Onur Dongel/Getty Images
It’s often hard to think clearly in the aftermath of a hurricane. However, our experts say there are some things you need to do as soon as possible. “It can be devastating and overwhelming to process the extent of the storm’s impact on your property, but remember to take pictures of any damage you see. Also, take detailed notes for your insurance claim and personal records,” advises Duncanson. “Once you’ve assessed the damage and salvaged what you can, flood damage restoration experts at companies like mine can help you make the necessary repairs and get you back up on your feet as quickly as possible.”
Outlaw agrees that you should take immediate action to mitigate future damage. “Homeowners should go ahead and get the water out, set up a dehumidifier and remove wet drywall and insulation, if possible,” he says. “Removing moisture and preventing mold will help keep future mitigation costs more reasonable.”
He also recommends getting several quotes before any service is performed. “A natural disaster has a tendency to bring out contractors who only want to take the money and run — or who will overcharge clients for the work performed,” Outlaw warns. “Be sure to carefully go over any proposal and don’t give anyone money up front.”

As previously announced, Broke Horror Fan is producing a Night of the Living Dead VHS for the Night of the Living Tapes Kickstarter in conjunction with the film’s original producers. Since the campaign has reached its stretch goal, all backers at the VHS level and above will receive an exclusive big box edition.
A preview of the design can be seen above. The final layout will differ but will utilize the artwork created by Fright-Rags’ Joe Guy Allard. The big box houses a clamshell case with matching art, a tape sourced from the 4K restoration of the film, and an introduction and letter by actor Russ Streiner.
Written by Geoff Turner, Night of the Living Tapes chronicles the storied home video history of George A. Romero’s 1968 seminal zombie film. Other perks include trading cards, lobby cards, and a T-shirt with Allard’s design. The campaign ends on Saturday, so act fast!

La Banque Nationale, en collaboration avec Sid Lee, investit les locaux commerciaux inoccupés des grandes artères de Montréal et des principales villes du Québec pour encourager l’entrepreneuriat.
Dans le contexte actuel où plusieurs locaux sont vides, la Banque Nationale (BNC) souhaitait insuffler de la vie aux artères commerciales locales qui sont chères aux résidents des quartiers et des villes et surtout, communiquer directement avec les passants et stimuler leurs idées et projets d’affaires.
C'est ainsi que Sid Lee, en collaboration avec la BNC, a eu l'idée d'aller directement là où l'idée entrepreneuriale peut prendre forme: dans la rue. Et un des premiers lieux qui peut voir ses vitrines se transformer est la Plaza Saint-Hubert, à Montréal.
«La Banque Nationale peut parfois être perçue comme une institution financière qui appuie principalement les projets de grandes entreprises, alors qu'elle offre un soutien à tous les niveaux, explique Jean-François Boyer, directeur principal, stratégie et exécution marketing, Banque Nationale. Tu penses ouvrir ta boucherie, ton barbier, ton salon de coiffure, on est là pour toi.»
Une offensive à double objectif
Jean-François Dumais, directeur de création chez Sid Lee mentionne que la campagne d'affichage, qui prend d'assaut la Plaza Saint-Hubert dès le 11 juin, avait deux objectifs. D'abord, les locaux vacants de ces lieux donnaient un air désolant à cette artère. «Ça partait d'un problème de base: les artères commerciales se vident et on a voulu prendre la balle au bond et insister sur le fait que la banque aide les grands entrepreneurs, c'est vrai, mais qu'elle est aussi présente pour les commerces de proximité, ajoute-t-il. Dix vitrines ont donc été «pimpées» par des créatifs pour inspirer et allumer la rue.»
Le choix des vitrines n'a pas été laissé au hasard. L'agence a mené une «mini» étude de marché, allant même jusqu'à consulter les commerçants et les propriétaires autour des locaux vides afin qu'ils précisent le genre de commerce qui pourraient être intéressants à proximité du leur.
«À titre d'exemple, un local à louer était aménagé déjà avec une cuisine et le propriétaire imaginait bien une pâtisserie s'y implanter», illustre Jean-François Boyer. Une attention particulière a aussi été apportée afin que les idées de commerce ne fassent pas concurrence à un commerce déjà installé et qu'il s'intègre bien dans l'environnement. «On ne voulait pas qu'à côté d'un salon de coiffure, on placarde l'idée d'ouvrir un autre salon de coiffure, mais plutôt démontrer ce que ça pourrait être, des commerces qui n'existent pas dans le coin», souligne Jean-François Dumais.
Un défi de taille pour l'équipe de Sid Lee qui a dû user de «jus de bras» pour convaincre tous les intervenants concernés par une telle offensive, précise Julie Provençal, vice-présidente exécutive, associée chez Sid Lee.
«C'était beaucoup plus complexe qu'une campagne traditionnelle, mentionne-t-elle. Il fallait discuter avec la Ville pour obtenir les autorisations de s'afficher dans les vitrines, puis ensuite obtenir l'aval des propriétaires des lieux.»
En effet, les règlements municipaux varient selon les villes et certaines interdisent l'affichage complet des vitrines des artères commerciales.
La volonté de la BNC est d'étendre ce projet à d'autres villes afin de revitaliser et inspirer d'autres secteurs.
Un concours et du contenu en appui à la campagne
En plus de s'afficher dans la rue, la Banque lance parallèlement un concours jusqu'au 21 juillet qui permettra à ceux qui ouvrent un compte entreprise de gagner un loyer de 25 000$. Un gagnant dont l'évolution sera intéressante à suivre pour l'institution financière.
Une campagne de contenu vient aussi appuyer toute l'offensive. Des capsules créées par Sid Lee présenteront des entrepreneurs de Montréal qui partagent leur histoire, leurs expériences, leurs conseils, leur parcours, etc. Ces dernières seront diffusées sur Facebook, LinkedIn et YouTube.
La Banque Nationale souhaitait avant tout par cette campagne montrer qu'elle est présente pour les petits entrepreneurs. «Mais c'est sûr que dans un monde idéal, si les locaux dont nous avons transformés les vitrines sont loués, ça ferait la preuve de notre concept», conclut Jean-François Dumais.
