I'm listening to WLS out of Chicago and they just had a guy call in that said he's an insurance adjuster and is flying into Houston tomorrow and will be making his way to LA/NO.

They told him expect to be there for three months or more.

He was explaining that flood damage isn't covered, unless you by it through the gov't, and people should, in order to get the insurance and make his job easier, salvage all the things they can pack up the family and leave town.......and leave a candle burring on your way out.

"...and leave a candle burring on your way out."

Heh.

flood damage isn't covered

Yep, part of the "Act of God" crap they use. My grandma's basement caved in one year flooding it (part of the Mississippi flood of '94). It's devestating for people. What do you think will happen for people who's insurance won't cover it. Are they just SOL?

It's called storm duty and thank goodness we are way past the point of having to do that anymore.

When Floyd hit here, my husband was still an adjuster and had to handle the entire area east of I-95; there was nowhere for him to stay so he came back and forth every night.

In all the time I've known him, I've never seen him depressed until then, but the sheer destruction just took him down.
