There were a couple threads on this last summer. It was a shame, for sure.

Yeah, I must have missed it. I came across it when I saw a picture of a burgundy 87 SE Fiero upside down.
Anyone know if he had insurance?

According to the article, he had some insurance, but not enough or not the right kind to cover the kind of loss he suffered. People not located in a FEMA designated flood zone usually don't carry flood insurance. The power of moving water is both terrifying and amazing all at the same time.
You are right tho, Very hard to read and look at the pictures, especially the Firo that looked to be filled with sand and gravel.
In my 2017 flood, the water looked to be moving quite slowly around the house, but even then, it moved lots of 'stuff'.
If you look hard at this picture that is a long view out in the pasture, you can see a plume of white water that was the result of water moving over a some object out there.
I could hear the sound of it from my back porch.
I can only imagine the fury and sound of the flood from that ruptured dam that destroyed the Fiero museum.

That really sucks... there's pros and cons to having something like a museum. He probably has some days where he's over it and wants to move on... the flood can be somewhat freeing... but at the same time, without insurance, he's essentially lost everything. My guess is that the insurance probably only covered the structures and basic value of the contents... e.g. a Fiero is a $2,500 car...
Really, really sucks.

Yes, Other Threads already covered this. Go read them before posting more.

If you think FEMA and Fed Flood Insurance would help...
Ask people after Sandy and others what they got after paying Flood Insurance and how long that took.
FEMA and other Fed Agencies are still fighting w/ State and Dam Owner and likely will take years to pay If they pay at all.------------------
Dr. Ian Malcolm: Yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should.

It took my twin brother less than 90 days to collect full payment from his fed flood insurance policy after hurricane Ike washed away his Bolivar Peninsula Texas home.
