Today, I finally received the last check from my insurance company after my house flooded 10 months ago. Tonight my house flooded again. FML

OP here. First of all: Yay! It got published! Second to those who say I deserve it or should move: I own my condo, so not able to move at this point. I do not live in a flood zone or swamp. Both floods have been sewage backups from blockages at least 150 feet from my condo. The one 10 months ago happened while I was at work--that was a disaster. This time my neighbors flooded (badly) on both sides. Water from one neighbor came under our shared wall. Not too bad this time and I was able to get the clean out cap off outside right away so it flowed into my backyard instead of my house. Truly an awful experience to be sure. I thank my lucky stars that I opted to cancel my plans and stay home and watch a movie... Otherwise it would have been at least as bad as last time. I'll admit... I'm afraid to put that clean clean out cap back on!

I must say, the clarification makes all the difference. I feel for you with that kind of flooding. My moms house does it too. It all backs up into the basement, though it's because of a massive root growth right at the end of our pipe, before it junctions into the cities. I would call HOA and have a plumber check that crap (excuse the wording) out.
