not sure about USA law, but in HK if they declare storm warning level 8 or above, and your car suffers, the insurance company is off the hook as then you are not supposed to be driving.

On the other hand, you driving the car out to check out the storm weather is not considered safe operation of the vehicle and will NOT be covered....... But when car is stationary parked in covered area, even if the car suffers water damage or other physical damage, insurance will cover.....

I like the concept but it seems like it'd be really hard to apply in real life. Whose to say who was doing what and for why before and during the storm? I can see the big insurance companies denying legitimate claims left and right blaming the owners.

Depends a lot on what sort of insurance you buy. The companies offering "cheap" insurance often don't allow enough for catastrophe claims, so they will look for ways to deny claims. The ones that charge more usually allow for more claims, so they pay up (most of the time ).

Its almost like people didn't know this storm was coming even with a week of warning. F10 is the only car on the road in pictures -_-. Don't feel bad at all.

Its sad to see all these cars totaled! As for BMW's the salvage yards in NJ/NY will be filled with extra parts. Called me old school, but i like to grab a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning and take a stroll thru a salvage yard to see what "catches" my eye. For car enthusiasts salvage yards are like gold mines. Get parts for your car, for pennies to the dollar.

Sandy was an equal opportunity disaster. Used car buyers beware, there will be a lot of flood damaged cars on the market.

I disagree with that. Other hurricanes to hit the US have been just as devastating or even more so.

on an unrelated note, sorry for your loss.... but how does the water rise that fast that you don't think to run to your $50k vehicle and drive like hell to somewhere it'll be safer? not to be a troll or something...
