I was just thinking! This entire neighbourhood is basically a write-off. Fire won't fuck up the foundations, but ice defo will.

Would insurance even cover anyone? Most people who don't live in flood plains don't bother to get flood insurance cuz they never anticipate something like a water main break.

I looked it up, looks like the city will be covering people's uninsured damages. Good on them.

As someone from FL it’s so wild to me to not carry flood insurance
