For people not familer with the area, my house is in baton rouge. Not zoned as a flood zone. My exact location is 46 feet above sea level and more than 5 miles (up hill) from the nearest river. I received 2 feet worth of water in my house, ruined almost everything i owned, almost surly totaled my girlfriends car (full coverage thou), and i have no flood insurance ( back to the no flood zone thing), and im considered lucky compared to most people here. Not asking for pitty, or remorse. I will rebuild and move on like the rest. I just wanted to provide some perspective to the people that truly have no idea, and truly want to know.
