This has to be one of the worst hurricane seasons in recorded history! How many Hurricanes this year? 4? Harvey, Irma, and two others that I know of..
With less than 24 hours to landfall in Florida as of the time of writing this, I hope they stay safe... If Harvey and Texas was any indication I think this could really be a bad situation for the people in Florida and the insurance industry as a whole. The total amount of damage when this is all said and done is going to be massive.

Regretfully, the chance people take is living in areas that are prone to these storms, & every 10-years or so...
It's quite a complicated mess really. People have to live somewhere. I guess insurance companies will soon dictate where folks will be moving to...
Insured people have the right to be covered. They paid for it. And stupid spelling ( between hurricane damage & storm damage ) should not give the insurer the right to dodge-a-claim.

I have been to Miami and I can honestly tell you this evacuation was necessary and probably saved a lot of lives. I am pretty sure most natives to the area, or people who have lived there for 20 years or more are sticking it out but the main people you had to worry about were the tourist and out-of-towners who do not know what to do in these weather events. When I was down there the streets are usually busy 24/7 it seems.
I am not sure what a wall has to do with this, but it would seem that insurance companies will be paying out quite a bit regardless.

There is more than enough money available for insurance companies to pay out. It's the shit-fight & waiting that hurts.
Just about every insurance company is an off-shoot of another parent company, & up it pyramids to likely only a few corporations. The money IS there, it's just that your entitlements are difficult for them to recognize...
Besides, what's a better reason to increase your premiums ?....

Doesn't look to be too awful bad... I been streaming live cams all night long... I was literally laying in bed while someone was driving me around Downtown Miami! LOL
Yes, I am sure people who are covered and pay their premiums will be taken care of with the same amount of wheeling and dealing as any claim requires. People who are not covered or underinsured may have problems but most of the times if I am not insuring something I am willing to take a risk on it, so thats the decision you make.
I do agree with you about the lingo used to buy insurance, storm insurance obviously means any kind of weather event.

If all you have to do is put these back in the ground, with no new additions, I'd call it a day that could have been a lot worse.
