So you're saying you learned nothing from your experience to prevent it again? Huh. I thought only teenagers knew it all. My wife and I just made it through a flood 4 years ago that took 50% of the houses in our neighborhood leaving the owners with nothing because none of them have flood insurance. They still had to pay for a ruined house and there was no FEMA money for any of them because it wasn't a disaster zone. We got lucky, but we learned something: buy flood insurance. We also learned that insurance agents won't sell it to you unless you live in a flood plain so you have to threaten them to get it. Now we have it. So there's 2 ways to look at it: 1.) An act of God got me, it's not my fault, I could've done nothing to prevent it, tax payers bail me out, or 2.) You damn well better get flood/earthquake/everything insurance no matter where you live because it'll save your ass and then you don't have to count on the charity of other to bail you out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create Web Applications With ColdFusion MX7 & Flex 2.
