As everyone slowly recovers from Hurricane Florence, it is wonderful to see the city pulling together to help each other.
Many people made it safely through the hurricane itself only to be devastated a short time later by rising floodwaters. Others in the area were still dealing with the flooding loss due to Hurricane Matthew, when in blew Florence to overwhelm once again.
As we grapple with the cleanup and destruction from water damage, it brings up the question: Is flood insurance a good idea even if you don’t live in a flood zone? This type of insurance is often overlooked on a sunny Wilmington day and as it is not part of a homeowner policy you must purchase it separately.
When asked about flood insurance right now, our first instinct might be a resounding “Sign me up," but under normal conditions, is the cost of adding flood insurance to your property a sound idea?
