Insurance companies don't have to pay when there is a major natural disaster.

You are going to end up waiting forever for a FEMA check....

To give you an idea of how long, people impacted by Katrina just got their checks.

Presidents don't want to pay the bills during their administration because the deficit is charged to them. It makes sense to dump the costs onto Trump's presidency as yet one more thing to blame on him.

>>17793944
>Insurance companies don't have to pay when there is a major natural disaster.
They do if people buy flood insurance and earthquake insurance for their homes. Adding the earthquake rider almost doubles the insurance cost, so I didn't buy it. I am way up in the hills and asked my insurance agent why would I get flood insurance. She said, it goes way beyond the idea of waters rising up and going inside the house. If the flood caused the hillside to collapse and my house slid down, that would be covered. She looked up her topo map of my house and said she sees I live many hundreds of feet from a cliff edge. She pointed out that it is not unknown for ground to subtly move towards a cliff after a flood. So even houses hundres of feet away can have their foundations shift. Re-jacking the house and stabilizing the foundation would be covered by insurance.

houstanfag here.
My house is a total loss.
I rode it out in my 2 story house. Im in Port Arthur which is one of the worst areas.
Monday I had to take any of my valueables up to the 2nd floor.
My turd gen fbody which is my baby wouldnt get shit for insurance money and I dont even have full coverage on it anyway so last Tuesday I took it to my buddy's apartment complex which is up on a hill in one of the higher points of houston. He let me have his parking spot cause he and his gf left to stay with family in Oklahoma til things calm down. Water isnt near it so thats good.

Luckily I have flood insurance, my house 1st floor was completely submerged when I finally left. 4-5' of water. Literally was over the top of my 2011 fusion DD. Not too worried, insurance should cover it and pay me more than it was worth even if it takes a million years.
I was lucky enough to have flood insurance too as it was required by my bank for my house due to being 800ft below sea level and so at risk.

Monday rain started hitting super hard again and I only had enough water/food left for this week maybe and didnt know how long til everything would calm down. I called my neighbor who evacuated last week and he gave me permission to steal his jetski out of his garage to get out of the area. Just packed everything I really wanted/needed into a duffel bag and backpack and called a buddy to meet me as close as possible with his ranger. I rode it into houston and to a blocked off submerged on ramp with the national guard there. I explained to them and they let him down the ramp to get me and we muscled the ski into the bed of his truck. now staying with him in Cypress, it's a little less affected but still damaged.

It's insane how apocolyptic it feels and disconnected from the rest of the world. The lengths people are going to right now to make it. Im just now today getting calmed down a bit. ill continue
>>
>>17796274
>Houstan
god im a fag *Houston

Anyways. It's a pretty big shock going from doing the typical go to work every day, run to the store, go out to eat, hang out with friends, cruise , etc to being stuck in your house unable to leave, no job to go to because the plant is underwater, cant go to any store, cant go out to get any food, cant even go out because you just keep seeing the water rise up your driveway eventually into your living room/kitchen/etc and up your stairs.

It's fucking wild. It's a pretty fucked up situation all around. I as many others thought I was well prepared for a 3-4 day nasty streak. Then as it hit it kept getting ugraded in severity and even today it's still raining hard.
>>
>>17796305
In this situation you're probably one of the fat/fedora cucks I've seen getting ferried in other boats and sitting on the side of roads who only sit there and bawl and rock back and fourth feeling sorry for themselves rather than getting on your own two feet and getting your shit together.

That's the craziest thing about all this you see all these people who have never had a hard day in their life and they are completely clueless expecting that someone/government/whatever is gonna stop in instantly and take them to safety and spoonfeed them.

Becomes pretty easy for you fedora virgins to mock it on an anonymous image board.
>>
>>17795579
Glad they aren't totally fucking people.

I had this discussion with my professor earlier today.

The main example of people getting fucked over by nature we use is Katrina but a lot of the misconceptions we have about insurance today come from the idea i originally stated that they don't cover natural disasters.

You're right that they in fact do but people don't pay for the coverage needed so often find themselves getting shafted and they naturally go bat shit on the insurance company.

Yeah I have a friend who works at a John Deere plant in Oklakhoma and their plant is letting them leave with pay to join recovery efforts down here.
He's bringing his 18' Jon Boat with a 18hp mud motor setup, should do real well transversing all the shit down here. Since I don't have any work to go to right now I'm hooking up with him and and one of his coworkers and we're going to go see what we can do to help.
Shitty thing is having to even go armed now because of all the looters and shit taking advantage of the situation.

From San Antonio here just heavy rain some lightly flooded streets but no damage like houstonbros.

We hauled my buddy's mud run setup jeep that isnt road legal down. It's lifted on boggers, high enough even in the worst parts the water does hit the floor.
We were giving rides out of flooded areas for 2 hours then a state trooper stopped us as we dropped off a family at a shelter and gave us a ticket for no registration or anything and followed us to the truck and trailer and made us load it up.

Bunch of bullshit if you ask me. It was only a $140 ticket but completely fucked when you drove that far just to help people especially with how dangerous it can be once you're down in the flooded city.

my mom lost her car to the floods but she wasn't driving it. 90% her fault.

parked all my cars higher up and unfortunately one got a significant amount of water in the trunk and backseat. It was one the side of the street that gets really bad and the sorta 'low spot' of my driveway. removing what I can to spray it down to prevent mold. Air drying it right now and got plans to water vacuum and put down stuff like kitty litter in a sock. Shitbox was fine and got the usual leaks in trunk water

That's what "schlept" is; Yiddish slang. I'm assuming ur LARPing or this is some form of time killing at ur IT job?

already filed yesterday. Good to go.
I'll come out on top actually, i got my house for 88k and its insured for 130k.
I was thinking about selling and moving to be back closer to home near Raleigh, NC. the extra I'll get after my payoff will help make it all possible.

But most people wont be near that lucky. Most houston people never considered flood insurance a near necessity. Im right next to a consistently flooding bayou with being in Port Arthur. We have a lot of flash floods with heavy rain here although we have flood walls and levis that stop most of it. Usually its the same 3-4 streets that get flash flooded but most people here keep flood insurance and some banks require it like mine.

You should have pulled out your phone and asked how he'd like to be on the nightly news. If there was video of a trooper giving out tickets while everyone else is helping evacuate that would be a pretty good story. Everyone else is using boats, jetskis in Houston for crying out loud lol.
