Hey Rat, the national flood insurance program is INSOLVENT (BANKRUPT). It is in worse shape than social security and has to be made solvent each year by congress to continue paying claims. Most of those flooded out are eligible for preferred rates which are very cheap but do not take advantage of the coverage because they think it can never happen to them. After this flood, everyone will call their agent for flood insurance but few will spend the money in the end or continue to pay the premium after a year or two. IMO, flood is worse than any natural disaster out there.

In a nut shell, Basic Home owners Ins works like this. If water damage comes from above, you're covered. If it rises from the ground, you're not. My insurance agent put it to me like this " if somewhere down the road they are doing construction or anything that blocks a drainage ditch, when it rains it causes the area to flood, you are screwed". If you do not live in a considered flood zone, a flood policy is not that expensive considering the cost of replacing personal items. Raymond being an agent and all can better clarify if this is true.

My heart goes out to you and so many other families that were affected by this torrential rain. I hope you recover quickly and things get back to normal as soon as possible buddy.

As mentioned open anything with circuit boards and allow to dry. If possible place the circuit boards on top of some kitty liter, its helps suck some of the moisture out.

Anything with circuit boards try and open them up as much as you can and let them dry out completely. I wouldnt use anything before a weeks time at least. Once dry your only remaining concern would be corrosion. A little contact cleaner and some electrical lubricant can go a long way.

Would have a claim against anyone or company that blocked a drain causing flood damage to property. Zone X is a preferred risk zone and premiums start at $100 per year for property/contents.

Have used this with luck, in bad situations.

That should do the trick.
