100% real. When you see a Bugatti roll around S. Fla, and dozens of Lambo's, Ferrari's, etc..... yeah, too much money in S. Fla.

So it's real? Unbelievable, but then again Florida Man is involved.

Hurricane Ian’s Toll Is Severe. Lack of Insurance Will Make It Worse. (Published 2022)

In Florida’s hardest-hit counties, fewer than 1 in 5 homes have flood insurance. That means communities will struggle to rebuild, experts warn.

Most of the Florida homes in the path of Hurricane Ian lack flood insurance, posing a major challenge to rebuilding efforts, new data show.

In the counties whose residents were told to evacuate, just 18.5 percent of homes have coverage through the National Flood Insurance Program, according to Milliman, an actuarial firm that works with the program.

The angle its going to hit Charleston is going to make it one of the worst hurricanes they've had in a long time.

They don't get hit often anyway. The storm surge will probably be the worst they've had since Hugo.

I’m not in Florida. Still bouncing between New Orleans(Metry) and San Antonio.
I feel for all the residents there.

Not in Florida huh? Or do you have a twin?

 

[superchuck500]

Landfall at high tide sucks big time.

That’s a big variable and I think we’re striking out

We learned from IDA that insurance companies like to be weasels about this too. Get your popcorn out. Wait till they find out what they are about to go through.
