You probably do not have a loss you can claim. In order to claim a tax deduction for your loss, the area in which you live would have had to have been designated a "Federal Declared Disaster". According to the IRS:
Generally, if the loss is caused by a federally declared disaster, you may deduct personal casualty losses relating to your home, household items, and vehicles on your federal income tax return.
And if you were in a Federal Disaster Area, you would take the total amount of your loss and subtract 10% of your adjusted gross income from that total to calculate your allowable casualty and theft losses for the year.
For more information see: IRS Topic no. 515, Casualty, disaster, and theft losses
As far as insurance coverage goes, your loss would have been covered under "Comprehensive" coverage, if you had it.
