I think thats one aspect of the potential flooding that most people are not aware of - although you may not live in a flood zone, the flooding may wipe out electrical grids in which it cannot be restored until the water subsides.

For our tanks' insurance, I would strongly suggest to anybody who has a Costco membership to go buy their $400 2800W continuous power Champion generator and keep it in the box. Get a jerry can with gas too. If you need it, take it out of the box and fire it up. If you don't, take advantage of their return policy and bring it back. Its a good thing to have regardless of the flood or not.
