adjuster posts

When I pitched this idea to my editor, she came back with the idea of 'what to say to insurance folks when your home is flooded.'

I didn't have the heart to say that when I stepped into my condo and saw three strange men vacuuming water off my floor, I swore loudly and a lot.

Flooded homes are always something you hear about and never expect to happen to you. In fact, just a few months ago I wrote about a friend and her place which got flooded and it turned out she did not have home insurance. I fortunately do have home insurance.

After wailing to my brother on the phone:

Him (sleepily. It was after midnight), "Hello?"

Me, "My condo is flooded!"

Him, "I'll be right there."

I quickly packed an overnight bag and grabbed my briefcase. It was time to call my insurance company.
