The policy excludes damage from title surge WHETHER OR NOT DRIVEN BY WATER, and ANY damage that ensues from this water. So, water rises, wind pushed the house because of the water, ensueing loss that is excluded. Sorry, should have paid for flood insurance. I have a hard time believing people think of all these "scenarios" as a reason not to buy flood insurance. Pure and simple, they're too cheap to, and now it has come around to bite them, and they're trying to think of these creative reasons their home policy would be used to cover flood damage.
