If an insurance company is guaranteed to have an $800,000 claim filed on their policy within the next 12 months because your house is already flooded, they won't sell you the policy.

That would work in an economic free market. Instead, the Feds force everyone else to subsidize flood insurance. https://www.floodsmart.gov/

Go get an insurance policy on a house that is currently underwater and tell me who gives you a quote. I'll send you $1000 if you do this.
