If you don’t already have Flood insurance its too late to buy it now. So the only real advice I can give those that live near water and are going to be directly effected by Hurricane Earl is batten down the hatches and protect yourself as best you can.

According to III.org Flood insurance covers direct physical losses by flood and losses resulting from flood-related erosion caused by heavy or prolonged rain, coastal storm surge, snow melt, blocked storm drainage systems, levee dam failure or other similar causes. To be considered a flood, waters must cover at least two acres or affect two properties.
