To be fair the insurance companies are being rat b@stards about this. There have been many claims denied on hurricane insurance because they are saying the water pushed in by Katrina's winds actually fall under flood insurance..

They do.

Because that's what the policy said. Water damage caused by water falling from the sky is hurricane-related damage and is covered. Water damage that is caused by water that rises from the ground is damage by flood water and is not covered.

My only point was that if someone is thinking about living in an area that is below sea level, by the ocean and has levees protecting their homes they should have flood insurance or don't live there, no excuses. If they didn't then don't blame anyone else because of the failure to mitigate any damages caused by any weather related situation where flooding can also happen. Maybe it was the winds that caused a surge that flooded the homes but it's not the governments responsibility to make everyone whole for them not being COMPLETELY prepared.
