If you try to make it without flood insurance, you could be looking at financial ruin. The door is open, and now is the time to step through it.

The main thing is to get flood insurance if you live in Louisiana. Flood insurance isn't required but is a necessity, so it's best to get it.

Every year, flooding causes more than $2 billion of property damage in the United States. Yet thousands who experienced flooding had no flood insurance because they thought they would never need it.

Putting (the project) together was a lot of hard work, but winning is a wonderful experience.
