we haven’t had a hurricane in our area in 5 years...State Farm just got the go ahead for a 20% increase in rates
The longer you go hurricane free, the higher the probability one is coming ... sooner or later.

Yeah but can’t they save up all those premiums from the years they didn’t have to pay out to help buffer the costs for the year they finally have to pay :) We were with State Farm for 20 years (till they dropped us because we live within 2 miles of the coast) and never made a claim...and it was expensive, close to $3500 per year at the time we were dropped.
