47% of Americans surveyed think that flood protection comes with homeowner's insurance. It does not. It is an add-on policy. It not only protects you against things like the massive California floods, but also if your water heater bursts and damages the floor and carpets, or pipes in the ceiling leak and you have problems up there.
It's not a bad idea.
Californians? Apparently only 1.3% of them have flood insurance.
Oh my, do they have a wake-up call coming! And with Republicans in charge of the House - which allocates the nation's finances - and their broad hatred of things California, I would expect any sort of major financial relief to be quite stingy.
