Just in my experience... Some insurers are really good and others not so much. I'm hoping for the best.Thanks. It's very difficult to understand the scale of something from photos, especially if you don't know the area. That's a LARGE area. I know Texas is big, but I've no clue how big the areas within Texas are. You can look at a map and see a dotted place name, but that tells you nothing about how much area that place covers.....
Yes, any encroachment of water into the house can cause a lot of damage, but if the house is otherwise standing, you can "camp out" while repairing or waiting for repairs (obviously depending on how much water has got into what), go back to your job (if your job is still there). What do you do if you've got no house, no car, nowhere local to stay to keep working....
rjohns39, they build houses up north on "stilts", I was surprised when Katrina happened to see that houses in Louisiana are built flat. It's very low-lying isn't it, Louisiana? I suppose it costs more in engineering to do that, and people build what they can afford. After Darwin got flattened by a cyclone, they changed the building standards and the houses up north are now built "better" than they are down here, to withstand cyclones better.
I just hope the people affected don't get jerked around by their insurers and can get it sorted ASAP without further upset from insurers and contractors.
