I'm glad to hear that you and yours are OK.

My house is about 120' above a bay connected to one of the Great
Lakes. From the end of my street I can look almost straight down on
the roofs of the houses on the water. A bunch of years ago I got a
letter from the company that held our mortgage informing us that our
property is in a FEMA designated flood zone and that if I didn't show
proof of flood insurance, they were going to buy the insurance for me.

I tried to imagine what it would be like if my property ever got
flooded. You say that you heard air boats a mile away? Less than a
mile from me the houses would be 100' under water! We're talking a
flood of biblical proportions.

I called them the next day and found out that they had made a minor
administrative error. They had sent the letter to every customer that
had a mortgage with them. They told me to ignore it, but it took them
3 months to send a follow-up letter admitting their mistake. That
makes me wonder how many of their customers believed them and actually
went out and got flood insurance. I wonder if they reimbursed them.


Ah yes, the good ol' Noah flood zone.

Wonder how many of their customers are still paying for flood insurance
even though it's not needed?
