re: So a hurricane hit our home... now what?

From what I heard on local tv news, wind damage will be covered by home owner's insurance, and they said water damage will not. But yesterday I heard a conflicting report on the radio that an official (with some government agency, sorry didn't catch his name or title) saying that water damage from flooding may also be covered by home owner's insurance. So I would make a claim with insurance also. Best of luck with your parents home.
