The flooding in most areas in TV is a real possibility. Not much fill was used in the construction of any of our homes. You do not have to live in a flood zone to need flood insurance. A homeowner's policy does not protect you from flooding, which can come from something as simple as a heavy downpour.


Floods are the #1 natural disaster in the U.S.
Losses total more than a billion dollars a year.
The average flood loss is in the $30,000+ range.
An inch of water can cause damage to your property.
Floods and flash floods happen in all 50 states.
Nearly 25% of all flood losses occur in low-to moderate-risk zones.
Flood damage is not covered by most homeowners policies.


And no -- I do not work for an insurance company
or have anything to do with flood insurance.
I just think that anyone who doesn't have it, is foolish.
