That's actually a tidal bore.

Yea, but it is known as the Reversing Falls and I did say that is as close to a waterfall going up hill as I know of.

P.S.The one I can feel sorry for is a tornado because as far as I can see they are very random. They can take one house in the middle of many out with not a scratch on the neighbors.

Except for the fact that Tornado Alley has way, WAY more tornados than the gulf coast has hurricanes. Also a hurricane is a tornado. That's why they call it a tropical cyclone. This is the thing: I am the player and the insurance companies are the house. I'm betting there is going to be a disaster and they are betting there is not. The problem is that they want to stack the deck to where they can't lose. You know who else does that? The mob...and the government of course but as the saying goes, "If the mob is organized crime then the government is really, really organized crime."

I will have to reread my policy and talk to my agent.

The only major one that has been mentioned is that I know I am not covered for damage from a war. But now I am wondering if that includes riots and terrorism.

As much as I hate insurance companies, it's definitely an important thing to have. Earthquake and fire coverage are big here, we all might need war coverage at some point

I already have war insurance. I'm covered by the Winchester, Savage, Smith and Wesson and Remington insurance companies... among others.
