Default 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!
