Yup. Not sure how those without a good support system pull it off.

 

This warrants a criminal fraud investigation.

Brianna Sacks on Twitter: "I’ve been reporting on Hurricane Ian since it hit Florida in late Sept. The storm caused $112.9 billion in damage, the second-largest insured loss on record after Katrina. In Nov, I started hearing that something strange was happening with storm victims’ insurance claims…" / Twitter

 

I wish I could say I'm shocked, but I'm not. Sickened, but not shocked.

 

Insurance gonna insurance.

 

Maybe after the Florida legislature finishes going after drag queens and banning books they'll give it a look.

 

Less books = less to insure

 

Was talking to my retired neighbor yesterday and his insurance provider just shut down. Got a notice of 2 weeks coverage left even though he'd already paid for the next month. We had previously given him our insurer's details so he will go with them and not lose coverage. But, it's an ongoing issue here. Insurers come and go, and it often happens in a hurry.

One dirty little secret is a lot of these companies have reinsrurers like Lloyd's of London so storm payouts don't really knock them out. I get Florida is a tough market, but don't actively [uck fay] people over while you're here.

 

I think we are at a point where Insurance as an industry can't function properly because we don't understand the risks anymore, or maybe that the risks exceed a threshold that would make paying insurance affordable.

 

We got a similar letter from our insurer round about our old house's 50th birthday with around two weeks notice. I don't know if the age had anything to do with it, but I was less than happy. We had had one claim about a year after we moved in, about 10 years prior. I know you should stop your insurance around for better pricing from time to time, but I would rather not deal with the hassle of changing insurance companies for what has been meager potential returns on my effort.

 

If a long time home insurer drops you with 2 weeks notice, they should be giving you a check.

 

A jelly of the month club membership at least... Unfortunately, insurance companies run the world, so we aren't seeing anything like that any time soon.

 

Hello, summer. Outside sweating my balls off

 

However bad you think the smoke is from Canada on the northeast, it is worse. Bet this is racking up a body count that will be detectable afterward.

 

We are under a tornado warning here in Anderson county. Fun

 

Crazy wind out of nowhere and I now have a 60 foot oak crushed my fence and laying over my pool

 

Suck! I have had five or six trees on my property fall the last 7 or 8 years. I hope no one was injured!

 

this is gonna be costly

 

One of those years

 

I'm am looking to remove my big oak, this is reinforcing that instinct. I'll plant a younger tree.

 

Wife said they were 65 mph gusts. And it was from 5 to 65 then calm then more guats cycle for about 30 minutes. Storms dropping in from the NE
