Huge Insurance Firms

Yet the insurance companies, to a firm, argue their policies -- most of which contain language clearly promising to pay for hurricane destruction, a premise upon which the policies were initially sold to unsuspecting property owners -- actually cover only wind damage.
The flooding, the huge insurance firms steadfastly assert, is another matter. In other words, you would need additional flood insurance to collect for Katrina.
Lott -- and thousands of other Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and Alabama residents who've filed lawsuits against the insurance firms -- reasonably and logically contend it was the Force 4 and 5 winds of Katrina that pushed the gulf and reservoir, lake and river waters across the beaches, levees and protecting barrier islands and over inland areas of each of those states, and thus were the causal agent of the damage, whether it was wind damage or water damage.
