Autobiography: general; Memoirs; Natural disasters; Coping with disability
Sometimes water has a memory and it returns to where it has already visited.

In this fierce, fragmented memoir, Ashley, an autistic mother documents her family's survival through unrelenting natural disasters. Thirteen months after Hurricane Idalia, their Florida home has just been restored when Hurricane Helene arrives and floods it once again. Revealing systems designed to exhaust victims into submission. Ashley must navigate insurance mazes, housing instability, bureaucracy, and a culture that abandons those it deems ""resilient.""

With dark humor and unflinching clarity, Flood Logic explores what happens when the floodwaters recede but the damage keeps rising. When minnows swim through dining rooms, children learn to kick down drywall, and ""strength"" becomes another weight to carry.

This isn't a story of triumph over adversity. It's about learning to breathe underwater while trying to reach dry land. And realizing you've been treading against depths trying to pull you under long before the storms.

Ashley Aldous Pangborn is a writer, advocate, and self-taught home renovator who has spent the last two years fighting floods, insurance companies, and the urge to give up. A mathematics graduate turned operations specialist, she brings analytical precision to the chaos of disaster recovery. As an autistic woman and sexual assault survivor turned advocate, Ashley writes with hard-won insight about trauma, systems, and the adaptations required to survive both.When not wielding a sledgehammer or filing insurance appeals, Ashley homeschools her two children, advocates for disaster survivors, and documents the absurdities of living in a house with no walls. She currently resides in Florida with her husband Greg, children Landon and Fay, and their cat Zipper, who has opinions about everything.
