With all in the news about Idalia, seniors including us who rely on their home equity for financial stability might have faced some challenges if their homes were affected. Ian was bad not to us, we were impacted this time and to a large extent. Now we can relocate, lol.

I just got my mom from Bradenton yesterday I’m just in fear of that surge, prayers to everyone on the coast always evacuate if you can. So far in lake county it just seems like a rainy day so we’re grateful for that

They have cancelled everyone s homeowners insurance, right now nobody can get insurance until this hurricane leaves, we are in trouble, diesel does not work with regular gas ...

[mikeb]

Insurance companies got out just in time.

[BaoNguyen-unkm]

We’ll I’m glad it’s not hitting major urban area. Hopefully damages will be at a minimal

[signalfire]

Why does this channel keep wasting everyone's time with an extended outro?

[jesto]

Hopefully people learned from Ian in regards to storm surges. There was a lot of of footage of flood and destruction. To paraphrase Gandolf, "LEAVE you fools!"
