A "Floodie" is an endearing term for flooded homeowners who reside in areas that have been declared a federal disaster by the US government agency known as FEMA, and in most cases, have been screwed out of receiving any
significant flood
insurance claim money and/or aid. Most Floodies have been displaced, or are living in houses that have been gutted or remain in disrepair several years after the storm. The term originates from an animated YouTube series about
Hurricane Sandy victims known as "The Flooded Adventures of Tony Citizen."
"It's been two years since Sandy, thousands of
Floodies are STILL displaced, and all you hear about on the news is Ebola. WTF?" "People who aren't
Floodies think we are living rich on
government hand outs, but I spent two hundred dollars printing aid applications at Staples and my aid award was three dollars."
