WOW...that was too close!!!
I live in a low area near a creek that normally has 2 feet of water and
this recent weather had me sweating bullets! Water was surrounding my entire house (looked like a houseboat) and it got into my garage. There was only about 1" of water on the floor of the garage my Vette sits in. All this and the forcast was for another entire day and night of rain. To top all this off, I called my insurance agent a couple of days ago when the water started rising, to check that I had enough coverage on my property. Found out my flood insurance was cancelled 4 years ago when I refinance after my divorce. OMG!! No insurance??? Well, the water has retreated back into the banks of the creek today and my policy will be in force 30 days from now (mandatory waiting period). Only real loss was a water logged John Deere riding mower which I will deal with in the spring. Thank God! -- Tom "That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest." -Henry Thoreau |
Next time, get in and drive it somewhere else.

My 78 was filled to the middle of the seats during the hurricanes this year
here in FL. Engine's shot and didn't expect it to get quite that deep in the location it sits. My 96 was high and dry though.

Rob, a dumb question - does your car insurance cover damage from a
hurricane? Just curious. Are you replacing/rebuilding the engine in the 78? - SR "Scubabix" > wrote in message ... > My 78 was filled to the middle of the seats during the hurricanes this > year here in FL.

I was wondering the same, also was it sal****er? That would really suck.

It was fresh water. I could claim it under my homeowners insurance, but,
the companies were allowed to increase their deductibles to several thousand dollars for hurricane damage. Another fine example of how the blood sucking *******s rip everyone off. Ok, enough of that. The car is awaiting a complete rebuild. It was a learning experience of a Corvette NOT to buy. The fact it flooded sounds a lot worse than it was, the interior has already been stripped out, the rebuilt seats I'm going to put into it are in my bedroom, high and dry.
