Does anyone in Pleasanton buy flood insurance? its expensive and deductibles are high... it is useful if you lose a large portion of the property --some areas in pleasanton are consider "flood zone" areas...

I reside in northern New Jersey which bore the brunt of Hurricane Irene and the subsequent flooding, weeks-long power outages, and the lack of gasoline to power generators. Our house is worth $400,ooo; flood insurance is $400 annually with $1000 deductible. Trust me, when you lose your hot water heater, furnace, washer, dryer; when your electrical sockets are rusted out and your floors come up, the flood insurance comes in really handy, despite what some people might think of as a "high" deductible.
