Luling, La- The controversial Biggert Waters Act, which will likely cause a huge spike in people's flood premiums, goes into affect Tuesday, October 1st.

Some homeowners say they'll have to walk away from their homes because of the hike in insurance costs.

"I've got a two story brick house, never flooded since I've been there," said Kerry Cranford, a Luling resident. "Currently you're paying $300 to $5,000, and that's right off the top."

"My insurance rate right now is $500, and what it's going to go up to is $4,477," said Luling resident Christine Trevett. "I've had that house for 20 years, have never ever flooded."
