This is partly true….but insurance companies are pulling out of the Midwest also…..my insurance rates went up over 40% this year and I’ve never had a claim on my property and haven’t had a car claim since the 90s. Doracho, hail, tornadoes….. |

Yeah. The agent for our local coop is singing the blues. Apparently there are only 2 companies left insuring commercial elevators. And those are big ass policies.

I saw a video about that but...isn't it like 6' tall? If they actually get a 15' surge, I'm not sure it's gonna help much. (Granted, I'm not sure how far above water level the hospital itself is, so maybe it'll be OK?)

Hurricane Helene could cost $200 billion. Nobody knows where the money will come from. Almost none of the storm's devastation will be paid out by insurance. In a preliminary damage estimate released on Thursday, the private forecaster AccuWeather pegged the financial cost of Hurricane Helene’s damages at $225 to $250 billion, more than double what it estimated in the first days after the storm made landfall in Florida last week — and far more than recent major hurricanes like 2012’s Sandy and 2017’s Harvey. That massive number includes the cost of rebuilding homes, businesses, roads, and infrastructure in the storm’s path from Florida to Tennessee, as well as the wages and economic output that will be lost during the yearslong rebuild. Another fact that makes Helene’s devastation so unprecedented is that almost none of those hundreds of billions of dollars in losses will be paid out by insurance. While the storm caused most of its damage through flooding, which is covered under a government-run flood insurance program, very few residents of the southern Appalachian mountains hold flood policies — even those who live in federally designated flood zones. As of now, these storm victims in North Carolina and Tennessee have no guarantee of comprehensive public or private assistance as they try to piece their lives back together. The situation stands in stark contrast to other recent deadly storms like Hurricane Ian in 2022, where wind damage was paid out by standard homeowner’s insurance and flooding was limited to low-lying coastal areas where residents typically hold government flood insurance.

I'm in the state backed insurance. best rates you can get. I got a letter this week that they are kicking me out after only 1 year to a private company. My house only gets $200k If its wiped off the face of the earth. despite it being worth 4-5X that. supposedly because the land is where the rest of the value lies.

I lived in the Tampa area during Hurricane Isaac, which coincided with the republican national convention that very month. I remember street signs flying near my home from 75 mph winds. It was pretty scary as you walked down the street and you had to look over your head. One strike and you were dead. It's not so much the water and the wind that kills you but the debris they carry. And to make matters worse, this area is notorious for extreme lightning activity during the summer months.
