Reading through this thread gives me deja vu, and a bit of heartburn. Lived through severe flooding from Superstorm Sandy. We had flood insurance as it was required for the mortgage, but many of my neighbors did not. We repaired things properly, but it was a mess and 5 years on I still find tools or other items that are rusted and ruined from the flood (or I can't find things that I recall having, because I chucked them in the trash cleaning up from the flood). My next door neighbor being a cheap azz didn't replace electrical components that had been submerged in salt water. A few years later, we awoke in the middle of the night to the fire department banging on our door because of a smoke condition next door. They found a small electrical fire in the wall...beneath the flood level of course.


Never, ever, ever, ever want to live through that again. Now live 200 feet above sea level.

Good luck to all who are impacted by this.
