MEMPHIS, Tenn. (FOX13) - - A month after heavy rains pounded down across the Mid-South, some homeowners are still dealing with the aftermath.
Many of those homeowners have been flooding restoration companies with phone calls for help.
We had about 50 calls that came through just in one day, we had to start turning people away because we couldn't take care of all of them, Joel Newport of RCI Restoration Services said, Some places we were going to had four feet of water sitting outside in the street.
Some homeowners are learning lessons from last time the hard way.
Nobody had flood insurance, which is what we're telling all of our customers now to get flood insurance because they're coming out of homeowner's pockets, Newport said.
Restoration experts say make sure your policy covers flooding.
A lot of policy holders don't actually carry insurance for floods, Newport said, They don't cover any kind of insurance for flood unless you ask for it.
Also stock up on the essentials, like water and canned food.
You can be trapped in your house for three or four days, MLGW could shut down any day, you could be in your house with nothing, no electricity, no water, no food, Newport said.
Also check a few things around your house before the storm.

Protect Your Home Before The Flood
MARTINEZ, Calif. See the homes of the stars. Thats the refrain in Hollywood. But in Martinez, its the homes themselves that will be the stars of the upcoming Martinez Home Tour on Saturday. In Hollywood, its hop on a bus, drive by the home, listen to the tour guide talk about the movie star, and move on. But the Martinez Home Tour will allow visitors to actually walk through seven unique homes from the 1920s while homeowners or docents explain the features of the house.
Every house on the tour this year is a star, said Carol Russell of the Home Selection Committee. And the homes are within walking distance of each other in the Arlington Way neighborhood.
An example is Marc and Amelia Hunters meticulously restored 1923 Craftsman which was featured in American Bungalow magazines winter issue, a first for a Martinez house. But the other homes are all gems too, said Carolyn Boone Duncan, Home Tour Chair. Visitors might well conclude that other homes on the tour are deserving of national attention also.
The homes this year have spectacular kitchens, observed Barbara Lucero, who is also on the Home Selection Committee. Three of the vintage homes, such as the 1928 Spanish Revival belonging to Mayor Rob Schroder, have modern gourmet kitchens that were designed to fit in with the rest of the house. Other kitchens are nearly original or were designed to appear so. In the kitchen of the 1920s English Cottage on the tour, restored by Jack Vosney, the cabinets are new but were made to appear old by painting them with many layers of paint and stains until the appropriate look was achieved. In the 1927 Hetzler home, the tiny vintage kitchen is fully functional and features an eye-catching hammered copper sink. The 1928 Gliatto house still has the original Wedgewood stove, so carefully maintained over the years that it needs no restoration. It even retains its matching salt and pepper shakers.
The unique personalities of the homeowners can be seen in the houses. A daughter in the Hetzler house insisted on painting her entire bedroom with vines and flowers even on the ceiling. Jack Vosney built a cottage in the garden that has wall paper which he created from articles in an 1881 magazine. The Gliatto house features vivid colors both outside and inside with every room of the home painted a different color by its owner, a former artist.
As for the owners of the homes on this years tour, none are movie stars, but many are well known in the community. For example, Candice Gliatto is the owner of Citrus Salon on Main Street. When asked what was unique about her house, Candice replied: My house is full of art. We rotate the art at the salon. And after every show I buy a piece of art by a Martinez artist to display in my house.
Corrine Christiansen has her own 1922 Craftsman house on the tour. As a teacher at the New Leaf Academy, Christiansen was named the 2012 Educator of the Year in Martinez. She added an inlaw unit to her home in which her mother lives. Craftsman features such as hardwood floors and wainscoted walls were utilized to make the addition appear as if it dated from the same period as the main house.
When asked what visitors would find interesting about his Spanish Revival home, Mayor Rob Schroder replied with a chuckle, They will have the opportunity to see the skeletons in my closet.
Also on the tour will be all four floors of the 1930 Art Deco Masonic Temple, the 1890 Martinez Museum, the 1882 John Muir House, the 1849 Martinez Adobe and the Shell Refinery Museum.

Home Tour to offer up-close look at local historic homes
Bulgarian former Prime Minister Boyko Borissov, who won Oct. 5 elections, said he wasnt optimistic about forming a lasting coalition government and said a new vote may be possible.
The Gerb party, which Borissov said will open talks on Oct. 13, fell short of winning an outright majority, securing 84 seats in the 240-member assembly, followed by the Socialists with 39. Turnout for the snap vote was the lowest in two decades, helping a record eight parties enter parliament.
Im not an optimist, Borissov told reporters. Well make a strong effort to make a government happen, though two or three parties will be needed for that. The only thing worse than a new round of elections is an unstable cabinet formed at any cost that will fall apart in a month.
The European Unions poorest country by per-capita output faces its fifth cabinet in two years amid political turmoil over a widening budget gap, a stagnant economy, institutional corruption and European Commission pressure to push ahead with reforms. The vote was called after the Socialists lost power following the seizure of Corporate Commercial Bank AD, the countrys fourth-largest lender, in June.
The yield on sovereign euro-denominated bonds maturing in September 2024 fell 3 basis points, or 0.03 percentage point, to 2.87 percent at 12:55 p.m. in Sofia today. The cost of insuring the countrys debt against non-payment for five years using credit-default swaps fell 6 percentage points to 136, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
The composition of the new parliament generates instability, Borissov said. We have eight parties, half of which dont talk to each other.
The second-place Socialists want higher spending on social benefits and subsidized power prices for Europes lowest paid population, while Gerb, which was ousted from power by anti-austerity protests in 2013, is seeking to cut spending.
The Socialists will decide whether theyll support a coalition with Gerb today. The coalition cabinet led by the Socialists resigned in July after a year in power over the loss of parliamentary support and a run on Corporate Commercial. The central bank placed the lender under supervision, freezing its assets and making funds unavailable to depositors.
Borissov accused central bank Governor Ivan Iskrov of doing nothing to rescue the bank, saying its the central banks job to deal with insolvent lenders under Bulgarias bank laws. He reiterated his intention to seek a replacement for Iskrov, whose term ends in October 2016. He can be replaced only if he resigns, according to the central bank law.
Borissov ruled out a coalition with the Movement with Rights and Freedoms, which represents the ethnic Turks in Bulgaria, the third-biggest party in parliament. A coalition with the Reformers Bloc, which has 23 seats, may be possible if it doesnt oppose Borissov becoming prime minister, he said.
