esshup I discovered a couple of years ago I live just a few miles downstream from one of the most high risk dams in the country. I called my insurance agent and asked her "if the Lake Lewisville dam had a catastrophic failure and my house was flooded would my house be covered by my homeowners insurance"? She said absolutely not! I asked "so if I survived I would basically lose everything...my biggest single asset? She said yep! I now have flood insurance until they get the repairs completed.

"dam failure. The results would be an estimated 431,000 people displaced by floodwater, countless deaths, $21 billion in property damage and a downtown Dallas under 50 feet of water"
