John sorry to hear your situation a d Fletcher and everybody is right about pretty much everything except that home owners policies will not cover flood damage! Some renters policies will but for home owners you need flood insurance !
Now after you get the water go and cut out all the drywall a couple of inches above the flood line remove any insulation up to this level let it dry out and clean it with something that kills mold! Trust me you don't want to deal with mold
John look at it this way 6 inches is nothing, the 37 inches from Ike was a total PITA . Did anybody know that a fridge can float ?
