Holly Johnson of The Simple Dollar has an article on why should buy flood insurance:
In this article, I tell the story of how Hamilton, Ohio experienced severe flooding only a month after protests regarding the expanded Special Flood Hazard Area increased the cost of flood insurance for many along a key corridor.
Also, I am not sure why, but Johnson says I am an insurance agent. I am not; I am not here to sell anything but books. And this is from a month ago and I forgot to post it.
