It is ashame that my son is still trying to get insurance company to pay up . He had a new roof put on his house and he lost part of his roof in the last hurrican that caused mold all threw his house. The roof is rusting and the companies guarantee will not pay up. Shame on these insurance companies that you oay your premiums faithfully and they take your money and run.

People on S.S. and ssi . Need their check . Their are some in the 3 path and no money to even buy gas to leave. And shelter for even the pay check to pay check cant get there or the shelter full. Dear God, please keep all in the path of hurricane Helen. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Is the middle of florida affected very much?

Climate change and rising sea levels will make properties in low lying areas and coastal areas impossible to insure. Banks will be reluctant to give a mortgage for 15 or 30 years because the property may be under water. Selling properties to average buyers will become impossible in the future as banks and mortgage companies stop making loans for these properties. Coastal areas are a high risk for insurance and extreme weather like hurricanes. People will have to self insure and take the risk of loss. Condo associations are losing their insurance and if they find a new higher cost policy they will be passing on the higher costs to association members. Flooded cars from hurricanes fill the salvage lots. Insurance companies will raise rates and pass on the costs and risks to policy holders next year. Coastal properties will be confined to wealthy individuals that can buy properties with cash and self insure for losses from hurricanes or rising sea levels.

The Governor did not sound particularly alarmed about this. I would ignore his strangely calm view of this monster, listen to the info from Guthrie, and get my tail uphill and inland.
