Actually... in their defense, some towns were completely wiped out by floods, it's quite a massive "once in a lifetime" storms we've been getting thanks to climate change. I've a friend in Indiana that works for insurance as a mold specialist, he was out quite a bit last week and had to go to sites in a boat.

That said, you want a real target to shit on? He told me the company isn't honoring almost any claims since most aren't sold on real flood insurance (it's not a place known to flooding). None the less, they're soulless ghouls.

Edit: oh also, this probably goes without saying but the feds are barely doing shit about it.

That's kind of surprising, since Indiana is one of the "good" red states. If they're not getting helped, no one will.

I'll give you 3 guesses why they aren't getting help.

I think the insurance screwing people over is much more common than the government needing more than a week to fix power.
