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