Down here in Florida, there are places where stilts are an absolute necessity. In a hurricane, storm surge can raise the water a good ten feet. I've heard of people who've refused to evacuate and then found themselves being literally chased up the stairs by rising water. Those rich people can have their damn waterfront property. I'll live a few miles inland on high ground, thank you very much.
When you said yelling at the house, I thought you meant having a fight with neighbors. (Again, couldn't see the video.)
