Of course insurance companies covers floods, if you have flood insurance. I used to live in a flood zone and made sure to have flood insurance, even for my car, and lo and behold my car was totaled after a flood and the insurance covered every dime.

Actually, if you check into it, you'll likely find that your flood insurance is actually through the National Flood Insurance Program run by FEMA.

You can tack it onto your homeowner's policy, but the premium will be the same no matter who you use and the money passes right through to the national program.

Now... you can often get ADDITIONAL coverage above that.... but that's a different topic.

At least two oil rigs were adrift in the Gulf of Mexico, where Katrina raged through offshore fields as one of the strongest hurricanes on record. Fearing the worst from the 175 mph (280 kph) winds, oil companies shut down rigs and closed refineries along the coast, sending oil futures higher.

So when I bought car insurance from State Farm (or whomever it was, it was years ago) that covered floods, it was actually a joint policy with FEMA? That's weird.
