Glad you came out of the storm without much damage. Let this be a warning to us all, prepare for emergencies BEFORE they happen. Make up a list (check with Flylady.com for a good one) and have it known to all family members.
NOTE TO HOMEBUYERS....check to see how low or high that special house sits, near running water or low lying fields. I suspect that for some years it's going to be difficult to sell such houses that show signs of being flooded. It might pay to interview insurance agents about the availability of flood insurance for different addresses. Might be VERY interesting to find out such differences.
Makes me wonder how we could find out the level of such houses.
I know you can find out the height of near by air ports..our own is very low, but even in town I'll bet there's a difference in height every few blocks, even if it's only by inches.
