Visalia Times Delta —
Flooding is the worst.
Worse even than wildfires.
In terms of natural disasters, says Lois Henry, flood damage is the most destructive, because it is the longest lasting.
“Flood is the most expensive disaster we have,” Henry said to the members of the Rotary Club of Visalia on Wednesday at the Marriott Hotel. “Damage to homes, to property, that damage is persistent and costly.
“And so many people don’t have flood insurance,” she said. “People lose their homes even after just a small amount of water damage.”
