sad thing is insurance rarely ever includes flood insurance as that is almost always a stand alone policy.

 

where i live some parts require flood insurance if you have a mortgage as the banks wont let you get one without it.  

Flood insurance isn't included here either. I live only about 9 feet about sea level. If the same hurricane hit the Miami area it would cause even more damage than Harvey.

Checking in from Alvin, Tx just between Houston and Galveston. This city holds the record for rainfall in 24hrs for the whole United States. On July 25th 1979 we received 43" in only 24hrs from Tropical Storm Claudette. According to my neighbors who lived here through that storm the water came REALLY close to the same levels. Missed it by only a couple of inches. Luckily my family did not get flooded out, and only one extended member got more than an inch or two in their homes. Everyone is safe regardless but as mentioned in an earlier thread the rivers and bayous are set for EPIC level flooding! The Brazos river basin was evacuated two days ago in preparation for the water that is coming.

Here is the level monitor for the Brazos and you can see how it has evolved. Brazos river level
