Many FReepers were in the path of Hurricane Dennis--please check in to let us know you are safe.
Hooray! Have been thinking about you and looking forward to hearing from you. Glad you are safe. Have you had a chance to assess property damage?
Thanks for your concern. Freepers's are the best.
When we lived in Greensboro, we had some damage from Hugo, but it was only 60 mph when it came through here.
And we had about $20,000 worth of damage from Fran and got paid.
But I am not sure where the "line" is; we don't have hurricane coverage, never have.
Here's the FR "siter site" in Canada:

They gave us our very own room!
Good to see you!
Good to see you!
Wow, I was just looking at the pictures of Navarre up the thread.
Glad you are okay!
That's what we're here for -- and it's a heck of a lot cheaper than theory, isn't it? :-)
I'm here. Fared fine with no major damage and just a few limbs and ruffled landscaping.
Had spasms and all types of odd symptoms from not being able to get on Free Republic all day.
Mmmmm...'possum stew
The timing of the FR crash was horrific! Great to hear you are safe and we are back online.
I haven't actually checked my policy, but as far as I know there is no "hurricane" coverage per se. I'd have it if there were, I guarantee!
What we do have is "windstorm". That can cover hurricanes, tornadoes, etc...
I'm sure the risk of damage from "windstorm" is factored into the pricing of the policy, but the only real difference from the policyholder's POV is in the deductible. My normal loss deductible is at $500.00; while my "windstorm" deductible is $3000.00!!
I don't think the insurance companies care if it was a "named storm" or not or what the classification is. If you have wind damage, the windstorm deductible applies.
What really sucked last year was those folks who had several hits last year sometimes ended up paying multiple deductibles because each storm was considered a separate loss. This makes logical sense, but what a nightmare! I would have had to pay $9000.00 if I had damage from each storm!

Wonder what happened? Just poof and you guys were gone. I almost felt abandoned. LOL.
After bearing the brunt of what Dennis could give us for several hours, it never even crossed my mind when I threw it out in the rain. It was only on reflection, after reading FR replies, that I realized what an abnormal thing it was for me not to get upset about it.
Keep us posted on your health condition....glad you and your babies made it w/out much probs. God Bless... ;o)
Amen to that!
Awesome. Thanks to the Free Dominion folks and to you for sending me the link.
Of course, I should have typed "sister site."
Cheaper than theory or therapy????? I knew what you meant and it is true!!!
