100,000 Insured Vehicles Damaged In Louisiana Flooding

The August downpours that dumped more than 30 inches of rain in two days on parts on Louisiana have left as many as 100,000 insured cars and trucks damaged, the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB) in the United States said on Thursday.According to the Louisiana Office of Motor Vehicles, “the numbers are much higher than originally expected,” NICB said in a press release. While claims reporting and vehicle recovery efforts were initially slowed by the large scale flooding, they are now in full swing, the bureau added.
