FPF - Damage of Flooding

Have you ever wondered how much damage a flood could cause to an individual home?  Check out this new demonstration from FloodSmart.gov. 

This enactment of a flood allows you to choose the size of the home and the depth of the flood to get an estimate of the damages resulting from a flood.  The estimate is broken down into detailed categories such as furnace repair, personal items, and furniture by room.  If you ask me, some of the estimates seem low, but it adds up quickly.
