I, however, have not had to deal with Homeowner's. With as many claims that they will be taking, does that impact their performance and payout times?
All of the major insurance companies have CAT teams that are in place and can be mobilized immediately. They plan for these catastrophes. They will mobilize hundreds of adjusters on site, and can usually knock out estimates quickly. Those guys will work 7 days a week, 12 hours a day. And they get paid accordingly.
They usually process and close claims very quickly. Now some of these smaller, fly by night companies, not so much.
Either way, I would much rather deal with them than the FEMA/Flood people. They are operating for the government, with a completely different mindset, are rarely very experienced adjusters, and are overwhelmed. Your flood claims will take a lot longer to process than a homeowners'.
Hope that helps.

Is the US Army Corps of Engineers really the most qualified for flood control?
I know all these recent events have been thousand year storms but is there not another entity that could take over flood control? private entities?
They have the capacity and knowledge to implement the largest of civil works projects.
I have family that works for them including a grandfather who was one of the highest civilian employees in the country.
The problem is they have become less like the Army and more like any general US government bureaucracy. Not to mention... funding issues.

Anyway we could discuss the other storm in a different thread? Kinda confusing when just glancing to see what Harvey is doing.

Is that TH?

Piccolo
I have not been that way.
Reports are that 99 is completely open from 99 to I-10. She should be able to get on 10 west and head to Columbus then up to Austin.
Radio station 95.7 is giving very good traffic updates for road closures

So basically 99 and points west are ok, but points between 99 and the Resevoir have feet of standing water?

Yeah it's the TH. The Band that just passed through had those winds and seas. I have a Kongsberg panel in my office and was reading the stats as it happened.

Several told us that adjusters just walked down the street and pretty much wrote checks on the spot.
I can't say the same for FEMA flood insurance.
That's what happens any time the gov't takes over something.
