Buttermilk Baked Chicken
By Celeste Ward
November 16, 2009, 2:22PM

By George Vassilas, CPCU, State Farm®
People have said it couldn't happen to them. People have said it wouldn't happen in their area.

Protect your home:
Many times, protecting your valuables and other possessions against flood may be overlooked because most homeowners policies do not cover loss caused by floods.
Flood insurance can be purchased from the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP), which is … (16 comments)
