Although Homeowner policies do not cover flood, most auto policies that have comprehensive coverage (not just collision) do cover flood.  Call your insurance carrier.
Take care,

John

Not only did the Baron get his car up and running in 90 days, but he had a few other things going on ... like moving out of a flooded house, finding another place to live, moving there, dealing with his other cars .... I'm sure there were a few more things.

Mark, none it it would have been possible without the help and support of my VERY UNDERSTANDING WIFE Ariana!  She was a trooper and helped where she could! Big shout out to HiLine Automotive in Downers Grove for letting me use their lifts and shop at a moments notice and even on weekends when they were closed.
