property insurance: Hurricane and Named Storm Deductibles

The insurance industry benefits from the current practice of naming every little tropical depression.

Wow, now I see. Glad I do not live in Fla. I was raise in Lauderdale, left when I was 18, never look back.

I notice a lot of people are relocating to SC because of the cost of home insurance. Hopefully they do not bring their South Fla voting habits here..

My boat insurance has a higher deductible for a named storm. In addition, the knuckleheads will name a thunderstorm because the GLOWBULL warming crowd can use the higher number of storms as they prostitute for more funding and higher taxes.

My boat stays in N Fla in the summer/fall hurricane season because the insurance rate is significantly higher in S Fla for me. I would sail down to the Fla Keys at the end of November and come back typically in April when it started to get hot down there.

The insurance notice this month thanked me for not filing any claims for the last two hurricanes (Irma and Mathew) but they still raised the rate 20%. I have no idea how much insurance is for South Fla and I don't care. I have someone who wants to buy it 2 weeks from now and take it to North Carolina. Ten years of boat ownership is about enough for me.
