I have been flooded out of my home in the past , taken to safety on a police boat , No one could have stopped the floods that engulfed our home it came like lightning , it went ,we got our buckets and mops looked at each other and got on with sorting out , no help from any one , we survived. As an after thought we did rise our lower floors by over a foot after that flood over twenty years ago and the water never reached enough to flood in again .
