I just want to say that my wife told me we should get flood insurance three days ago. Two days ago a man in a kiyak rowed down our street and halfway up my driveway. I do not live in Venice. My neighbor's washing machine was floating. Other neighbor had water up to their knees. My car flooded up to the trunk before I got to it and managed to get it up the driveway (how the engine hadn't flooded is beyond me...I was ankle deep on water in my car). All in all we got pretty lucky. Everything that was destroyed was stuff I am just as glad to see gone, and there's no structural damage or drywall down there. Don't think we'll even have anything to claim. We fared much better than most on out street, and definitely better than our Brother-in-law's friend. Fun stuff! :)
