Here's a very small violin. Landlords can cry to FEMA.

  Shoulda bought that flood insurance for the mortgage. I don't have much sympathy for rent-seekers when the renters probably can't even work right now. This hurricane has really been bringing out the worst in humans; $20/gal gas, $100/case water, scam robocalls to flood victims, this, etc. This is what happens when you put money before humanity.
