What about the existing homeowners? My father lives inland in a house built in 2008. His rates have sky rocketed. He supposed to rebuild his house? After Rita he had to get a new roof put on, cost him $70k, insurance covered most of it. His rates still went up. For people on a fixed income the increases are an issue.
One bad hurricane season and Florida will see a mass exodus. Insurance rates are already the highest in the country and increase 30% per year. Not sure how the state can handle another big one, insurance companies will just stop writing policies.
Not sure how you do it up there in NNE. Was on top of Mount Mitchell in NC last week and it was still stick season up there too. Depressing in late April.
85 on Long Island today and other than oaks, most trees are leading out.
Was a beautiful 71 here in Asheville, NC. Spectacular city with incredible views and outstanding food. Highly recommended to all.
tomorrow we drive the blue ridge up to Roanoke. Weather looks to cooperate
Kids don’t have passports or else a would have gone to Caribbean. Didn’t feel like going to Florida again, so we are driving down to Asheville, Nc and checking out the blue ridge parkway, then up to Hershey
Crazy how quickly so many trees just popped leaves yesterday. 2 days ago some of my trees had no semblance of leaves and today they are half leafed out already
