Fortunately my only flood loss was some minor water damage to underground storage with no major valuables and hundreds of dollars in spoiled food due to an untimely Costco run just prior to the flood and power outage.
I wouldn't expect anybody to cover that, I just have to eat it (as in the cost, not rotten food).
It makes sense to me that basements in a floodplain should be considered a liability in the first place but downtown is springing up with condos with parkades and personal storage rooms, etc. all below ground. All the newish condos by Eau Claire and by Stampede all had flood damage in their parkades and many still can't return. What about those places where hundreds are affected in a single building?
