Actually, Pete, there are carriers that write flood outside NFIP. Few... and for unique risks and XS flood limits, but they are there.

More private companies would write flood if NFIP wasn't subsidizing so much premium and making it unprofitable at the current rates (hence the BW12 "fix").

Florida cedes $4 in premium for every $1 it receives in claim payment. Let that settle in for a bit...
