2024 Tropical Weather Thread

Looking at relevant counties, it’s about $800/yr for the $250K FEMA policy.

City of Asheville (proper ) zip is 28801.

per your link ( second XL document ) , that zip code, as of Aug 31 2023 had 28 policies in force.

twenty-eight.

and 28803- the videos where we saw Moe's/Asaka restaurants next to creek- where water was everywhere ( south of Biltmore ) had 75 policies in force

there is over 100 buildings just in this screen shot alone.

which circles me RIGHT back to how hard it is to sell flood insurance to someone/some business that has NEVER flooded, NEVER seen a flood much less thought about flood waters.

Frustrating. Folks think we try to "upsell" them to make more $$$ in commission. If you are going to protect your investment, why protect it against 75% of exposure?

UGGGHHHH
