It can always be worse where you are

This is nothing like a direct hit from a hurricane but it is bad enough. Our back yard is on an incline so it takes a lot of water to get to the house plus our slab is 6 inches thick which helps quite a bit. Others were not as fortunate.

I am guessing that many of the homes pictured do not have flood insurance. Homeowners insurance does not cover flooding. It will be a painful learning lesson for some. The cost is only $350.00 a year in most areas, a national program, but some decided against it.

The picture below is an overhead shot of our local area.

Location location! The water by me had to go uphill which helped. Some areas just outside the city still have 15 inches or more of standing water. We were lucky.
thanks
