Just to be clear, I'm not concerned that Minot North Dakota will be directly effected by any of the names to the left... that would be one heck of a storm!
What prompted me to share the list however is that it is part of a news letter I received with my flood insurance reminder.
Minot North Dakota has seen it's share of floods. While not frequent, what we have experienced has been devastating... take it from someone who lost their home and most of my belongings in 2011.
When I purchased my home in 2001 it was not in the flood plain. In fact the insurance agent I purchased my flood insurance from thought I was nuts and did not want to sell it to me. I insisted, having come from an area that regularly flooded I didn't want to take any chances when the river is only a block away from my home.
Today I recommend all homeowners purchase any kind of water related insurance you can get for your home. If we had not purchased flood insurance there is the very real possibility that we would not be living in a home of our own any more today or for the rest of my life as the cost of the devastation was so great.
Note the 3 colors to the map below. Very few States had no flooding last year. I hope North Dakota remains gray on the map again in 2019 but who knows... that's why there is flood insurance and I'm prepared with mine!
