  For the obvious reason that most dont carry flood insurance.

Exactly this. Most homes are not destroyed by the hurricane itself but by flooding which is not covered by regular insurance. Most people don't have flood insurance because they don't see the need or don't want to pay for it. Hurricane comes, homes flood, insurance company says, "too bad." It happened to many here after Hurricane Matthew came through. Central NC isn't really known for having to deal with major flood issues so a lot of folks don't carry the insurance.
