Down in Kapoho the storm surge destroyed homes that don't meet the current code and spared those that do.
I am going to buy flood insurance myself. 17 feet above sea level and 1000 feet from the ocean !!
Obie, since your house and our house is in Fema flood zone X - the flood insurance cost isnt too bad. We had it but we didnt have hurricane insurance - we have putting the premium for hurricane insurance in the savings acct instead. I figure if we go another 2 years with no roof damage from a hurricane, we have paid for it ourselves.
