Now Californians find out they don't have flood insurance!
*sigh*
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.

Yeah. I had a condo in Phoenix and it was in a flood plain. The interesting thing is that some of the condos in the complex were, some were not. I think I had flood insurance, mainly against household problems, I wasn't concerned about century floods.
