Why don't they use that money to actually fix the whole "dam" situation? It seems like a complete waste, in my opinion.

This wasn't even close to the lake. There is a difference between Lake Delhi and the town of Delhi.

There are also vacationers, but most live there permanently.

There are many public access points to get onto this lake. Definitely not a private lake.

Many of the people on the lake live there year round. Many lost their ONLY home during this flood. It's a misconception that the lake is only for vacationers.

Delaware County is to blame. This area better be declared a national disaster area soon. Some of you have NO idea how much destruction this flooding caused.

Most of those that live there are year round residents. They are not rich. Many of these year round residents lost EVERYTHING they owned. I saw the damage first hand and its people like you that make me and others sick. I don't even live on the lake, yet I feel I have to defend these people that you and others are bashing and making assumptions about. I hope the government comes in quick and helps out as much as possible. THEY pay taxes too!

There are a lot of elderly people who need volunteers to help clean up their homes.

This was a situation where it's considered historic, and places that would NEVER have usually flooded did. Thank goodness the road surrounding the dam did cave in, otherwise a lot more homes along the lake would have been destroyed. I have been in the flooded homes and it is NOT a pretty sight. Please keep all these people in your thoughts.

This is why this woman could file a lawsuit and win, if she wanted to. I am a first time mother. I decided not to breastfeed. I know many mothers who have breastfed in that play area without a problem. My problem is with those who think this is harming their child(ren). I would think that if your child is going to have problems with someone breastfeeding, then "you" as a parent have done something wrong with raising them. Breastfeeding is normal and natural. The only reason it gets labeled as a sexual act is because of our culture. There would be no argument against this woman if we were in most other countries. Parents, take this as an opportunity to explain to your child what is going on, instead of sheltering them.

Many of us are not getting any financial aid at all, we are just trying to get more education to help with our profession.
