I'm really sorry to hear that... I grew up in a typhoon (hurricane) zone, and completely understand... You can build a good home that can survive winds (REINFORCED CONCRETE AND BRICK, PEOPLE!!! NOT WOOD!!!), but damage from flooding is almost impossible to prevent--it's entirely based on the placement of your home.... Hopefully you had flood insurance? If so, most all of your damage should be covered. If not, ...... insurance might only cover things that were actually broken, and can be reasonably blamed on winds/rain/debris.
