There are two types of insurance claims caused by Hurricane Harvey, hurricane or wind claims and flood claims. Let’s examine both in detail and what policies cover each type.
In August a slow moving unnamed storm system settled over Louisiana dumping up to 31.39 inches of rain over 72 hours resulting in a 1,000 year rain. Massive flooding occurred affecting 188,729 homes and 507,495 people, of which 60,000 were damaged by flood waters. It’s estimated that 78% of the homes damaged by flood waters did not have flood insurance.
