Eminent domain is always unfair, it's why Libertarians are always opposed to it. If you need a road to your home, you almost certainly would want someone else to pay for it. But really, why should the taxpayers pay $millions to rebuild a road to two or three homes?

If you and your friends can rebuild the road, great. Obviously, that isn't always feasible. If you can have your road insured against disasters like this, great - but again, that isn't always feasible either. And if a river has changed and your home is now cut off, there isn't much that can be done about that, either. It sucks, but there isn't always an easy answer.

It's not that I'm letting FEMA off the hook, I'd be the last one to do that. But many people are having their lives permanently changed. That's what happens when there is an Act of God such as this.

I sent $100 to Shepherd's Purse. Hope it helps.
