No. Our house sits on top of the second highest mountain in the county. If we flood, then some how I didn't get the message to build an ark.
BTW, a water pipe bursting is not flooding in our home policy. Sewer back up is... but we are on a septic system. With the topo of our land and the lay of the nitration lines, the lid of the tank would blow out before it backed up into the house.

A city water main bursting is a covered loss on our policy, as is a sewage backup, and flooding caused by anything that a neighbor does that sends water over our property line. (No, it doesn't cover our own water lines leaking.) It also covers a fire hydrant getting snapped off by a car and flooding everything, and the city's storm drains and basins overflowing/backing up. Plus, of course, rising water from canals, levees, rivers, creeks, lakes, ocean. And rain-related events, too.
Several winters ago (our rainy season), we had some "urban flash flooding" where people got water up over their doorsteps due to the city's storm drains being overwhelmed .... which means they got water in their homes, on their carpet, and on the bottom 6" of all their furniture.... for a few hours. It happened to over 500 homes, and not one person had flood insurance. It was at that point we went out and bought flood insurance.

Nope. We live several blocks away from a little stream and at the top of a good sized hill. A good sized storm came through several years ago now and dumped roughly 8 inches of water on us in a matter of an hour. The intersection a half block down the hill was flooded due to a storm sewer being plugged up and the little stream overflowed it's banks but other then some basements having a fair amount of water in them (we don't have a basement) not even our neighbors had any major problems even those living right on the stream due to lay of the land and the fact that the stream bed was pretty much dry as a bone before the rain came!
Wow what a run on sentence!
Sorry!
Blessings,
Garsy

We live on the side of a mountain that resides over a valley. There has never been any flooding here, since Noah. So, no flood insurance for us. But if we lived in the valley we might get it. A river runs through it and it does have a history of flooding.

I also have no basement & do live very high up. If it should ever get this high to flood I'm sure an ark will come flooting by to pick me up.

I live in about the highest point in my neighborhood. My driveway at it's lowest might be underwater (has been many times) and there might be 6 inches of standing water around the house and on the hill (has been in very heavy rain when the grass is high), but for my house to actually flood we'd need to have several years of global warming to raise sea level significantly then a massive hurricane with accompanying rain and storm surge...then I might need to worry some, but I don't plan to be living here a hundred years from now, so I figure I've got some time before I need to worry about buying flood insurance (and by that time, the big environmental scare will have swung back to the coming ice age anyway).

No. I live in the desert. Now, I do also live at the junction of three rivers (the Columbia, the Snake and the Yakima) but I don't think this particular neighborhood has EVER flooded (well, excluding biblical events). The Yakima does flood further up, but the Columbia does a good job of reducing that down thisaway. I am not concerned at any rate. This year it did get what we call high...but it never got to the grass on the banks.
