25. That was not flood damage
It was wind driven storm surge - where the hell do you think that water came from? The winds gathered it up and brought it onto land - it was a tidal wave - not a "flood" - not rising waters.

Big difference and the insurance companies will soon learn that. Are you familiar with the litigation that occurred after Hurricane Camille? The insurance companies tried the same thing then, they lost several suits after hiring their big shot lawyers, then they realized they better settle up the pending cases.

Bad faith, punitive damages - those will hurt their profits more than paying the claims that are owed.
