they probably won't die but it will be a shitty 48 hours ahead of them. i mean, like unimagineably shitty
if thy can make it to the courthouse they should be able to get above the water line. then they're just isolated for 2 days+ in 90+ degree weather with swamp around them. their car will flood and die, so it's only primitive movements for them, surrounded by gators, snakes, snapping turtles, etc.

also, Cameron in particular is NOTHING but marshland/swamp
it's basically a highway on the east border, west border, and the southern border. otherwise nothing but marsh/swamp
so if you get stuck, you're fricking STUCK. it's just you water, and a bunch of gators and moccasins
My parents live in Hackberry (or Hackleberry, Jeff) and this is the TRUTH. Thinking about chasers on Hwy 82...that road is sketchy on a regular windy day. Parents stayed for Rita but I've convinced them to at least head north to family in Iowa where at least they won't drown.

I just read my renters insurance policy. There is a flood exclusion. So the contents inside are not insured for flood.
But if the house is blown off the map, I’m guessing they would be covered? Lol
For the most part, think of it like this, if the water touches the ground and then enters the home, you probably won't have coverage. If the water enters from above (roof, windows, etc.) you will typcially have coverage

Yes flood insurance is a separate federal government sponsored program that is sub-sourced through insurance companies. One catch is that you can't just go out and get it and be covered...there is a 30 day waiting period on the coverage to kick in. This is specifically for scenarios like this where folks get in the line of fire THEN get coverage. If you are in a flood prone area, in particular to a hurricane frequented area, it just needs to be seen as a necessary "cost of doing business" to live in the region.

Then they'll argue if wind or water happened first. I had a flood policy for my rental for Katrina and they paid for the contents, to a degree

I’m laughing because I never considered I needed to insure the contents of my rental for hurricane until just now.

I flooded before with no contents.
Got a bunch of milk crates to stack it all on.

The hard part is proving it to State Farm.

The exception is when you close on a home I believe. My flood insurance was effective immediately when I purchased and I live on a 100 year flood plain.

It's not going to be a fun night in Lake Charles but there isn't going to be 6 feet of water across the entire city like the weather channel keeps showing.

Houston folks and media desperate for some hurricane action. All local schools are closed til Friday. It’s silly
I’d rather my local ordinances and city be over prepared for every single potential hurricane than under prepared for a single one.

Ok perfect. We are not in a flood zone but I’m prepared for a couple windows to be knocked out.
I called the management company a couple days ago and asked if they were planning to board up the condos or tie down the trash cans.
They laughed at me literally on the phone. I laughed at them then said that’s funny because I’m not paying rent on the 1st if your shite is torn the F up then and uninhabitable.
