"With the new models even my own home would be a victim of tidal surge because of the rain that would already be there.  I am not in a flood zone and am on a little hill."

Carolyn,

I was talking with one of the volunteers earlier today.  Apparently not being in a flood zone is not enough reason to not have flood insurance.  One of our other offices is next to a small bayou.  It didn't get flooded from the bayou, but someone left a water faucet on and the inside got water from that!  

We don't (yet) have flood insurance, and fortunately the tidal surge didn't get that far (two houses and a wooded lot below me are okay but nothing any farther), but I'm going to talk to my agent about getting some!  I suggest you do the same.  

Kansas is looking better every day.  I'd rather deal with a tornado.
