Flood insurance is always available MsPerky. It's underwritten by the federal gov't so everyone does have access to it regardless or where they live......

Friggin' Liberals are at it again....

Both states affected by Katrina are thinking about voiding the Flood exclusion and making carriers pay for losses they never expected to pay for or charged for. We will all pay dearly and all I hear is that happended down there and I shouldn't have to share/ paying for their losses. Watch what happens to price of building materials. Expect 100% increases and pure GREED to rule at Home Depot & Lowes. That was case after Andrew & Hugo. All carriers were gouged by material suppliers. We all end up paying.

Bumping up this thread to call your attention to a column in today's Wash Post about the future of New Orleans as a city. Excellent reading...unfortunately, the article is too long to post here, so I'm posting the link for anyone who's interested. You probably have to register, but it's worth it.
