Gotcha. Yeah I would think they would be more inclined to lift it. It's a nice big house that would be perfect if not for the annual all natural indoor swimming pool...
We already submitted after the last flood. The state approved us and it's just waiting on FEMA to review and approve. We will be adding this claim to it which I'm sure will strengthen our case for getting the house lifted.
The guitars are still all spread out at my mom's and a friends house from the last flood so they are fine. I think some of the gear might be in a rubber maid container in the garage so I'll find out if that made it through when we clean out the garage this weekend and take pictures of stuff to see if it's been ruined. :(
