I agree, for the folks that built in a 'flood pool' plain, even if they feel that wasn't adequately communicated to them when they purchased. The folks outside of that pool, however, whose homes were only flooded because the Corp of Engineers decided to open the reservoir floodgates, have a reasonable claim for damages. Their attorney is basing this claim on a violation of the 5th amendment, specifically relating to the state 'purposing private property for public use'.
