Alot of homes in the path of Ian did not have flood insurance because flooding has never occurred there in past hurricanes. (ie: central florida)
Homeowners insurance pays for wind damage but not flood.
Seminole County commissioner calling the flooding “a 500-plus-year event of quick rainfall in a short window of time.”
And even those that had federal flood insurance, damage to the home may exceed the max payout ($250k).
