[QUOTE="MyFriendKita, post: 164463, member: 4888"] Thank you for asking. The worst we've had to deal with is finding alternate routes to work, and no electricity for a day, so I'm not complaining. A week ago, a tornado touched down a block from where I work (it happened late in the evening, so I wasn't at work, thank goodness), but our building wasn't damaged. However, I had trouble getting to work the next day because the road through town was blocked at both ends for awhile. Then the flooding this past weekend damaged several houses in our town (again, we were lucky and had no damage), and in several other towns around us (including the town where I work--those poor people must feel cursed by now). It's been really sad to watch the news--almost no one had flood insurance, and several people have lost everything they had. I saw one woman on tv who did have flood insurance, but her insurance company told her if the damage is due to the rain, she won't be covered, and if it's due to the creek near her house, she will be covered. I'm not sure when your house floods how you determine where the specific water that damaged your house came from, but I guess that insurance company has figured it out. We're just hoping that's all Mother Nature has to throw at us for a while. [/QUOTE]
