I am sending big hugs n good karma to all yall affected............I have been in similar shoes a few years ago when "Ike' hit New Orleans....it was not as bad or devastating,but was still horrible to go thru!
I DO NOT care if you live in Louisiana in a bone dry X flood zone, make your insurance carrier sell you flood insurance. If they won't then switch to another carrier. If you live in LOUISIANA period you need flood insurance ...even if it never flooded before. Read the Bible about Noah's ark...
