Wow it's just incredible looking at all the damage. Some incredible pics. Southern Ontario seems to have been hit but to a much lesser extent, but still enough to create lot of power outages.

We got a small part of the storm here too but it's just some freezing rain / snow and nothing out of the ordinary. The fact that we can feel it here just comes to show how big the storm is though.

My kids loved that roller coaster when they were little. Their kids won't get to have that same experience.

I left New Jersey almost three years ago, and it just doesn't feel real seeing all of that damage done to places I was once so familiar with.

how much money do you get back from insurance for a flood damaged car? is it the full price?

Depends on your policy and whether natural disasters/flood damage is included. But if the cost to fix the damage is greater than the vehicle's assessed value, they'll deem it a total loss and cut you a check for the assessed value of the car. You have to provide them the car and title so they can scrap it though; it's not like you can take their money and just keep your damaged car.

Sure you can, but you have to pay for it. Typically a few hundred to few thousand dollars, depending on the car obviously.

But yeah, they will only give you market value for a total loss. Probably going to be lots of people that just roll the remainder of their loan into a new one, if they can't pay it off with the insurance payout...

Neat precipitation map, courtesy of NOAA and the NWS.

That is cool. Looks like Cleveland metro has received around 8" of rain since Friday.

That would be like 6-8 feet of snow if the temperature was just a little bit cooler. I consider us lucky.

That's always the risk of being underwater on your car loan.
