Which caused a dropping of the ball. It happens. What shouldn’t happen is NHC taking full credit for the forecast when the models get it right but blaming the models when the forecast is wrong. Not trying to pick a fight here. It is the way I feel about a lot of things.

With all due respect, your post is more of a list of the reasons why they dropped the ball rather than a denial.

Politics and conspiracy theories have moved into weather and disaster response. If you take the $750 they will take your house and put you in a camp because they want the lithium that is in the ground. Thats just one of many conspiracy theories that are being spread. @calculus1 I was just responding Calculus’ question. If you want to discuss and argue over this subject please take to Randy’s Hood in the off topic section. Thanks

Just a heads up. Keep in mind if you say, “NC needs rain”, a group of NC mountain men will drive to New Bern and beat the crap out of you.

I ran the last group of posts through AI and got this as the result. YOU CAN’T FIX STUPID

Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner!!!

One nuance is the companies aren’t paying. PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla., June 25, 2024 —Weiss Ratings, the nation’s only independent insurance company rating agency, revealed today that three large providers of homeowners insurance in Florida closed nearly half of their claims last year with no payment whatsoever to policyholders. Dr. Martin D. Weiss, founder of Weiss Ratings, commented, “In the wake of increasing property damage from storms and record insurance company bankruptcies, this high rate of claims denials is severely compounding the hardships for Florida homeowners.” Among the large providers of homeowners policies in the state, Castle Key Indemnity Company denied 47.1% of the claims it closed last year, State Farm Florida Insurance Company denied 46.4%, and Castle Key Insurance Company denied 46%. However, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, a state-sponsored entity holding the single largest share of homeowners policies in Florida, failed to submit data requested by insurance commissioners regarding claims closed. In addition, three smaller providers of homeowners policies also failed to make any payment on over 40% of their claims closed in 2023: Kin Interinsurance Network (denying 44%), American Integrity Insurance Company of Florida (43.9%), and PURE Specialty Exchange (40.5%). Click here for full list of insurers in Florida with their denial rates on homeowner claims. “Aggravating the crisis, both the insurers and authorities have hidden critical data that consumers urgently need to make informed decisions about which companies to rely on,” Weiss added. “At the same time, most insurance company ratings are bought and paid for by the insurance companies themselves, biasing the grades and painting lipstick on a pig, while keeping the public in the dark. “But what’s most surprising of all is that some of the companies in Florida with the highest denial rates do have the financial strength to afford to pay a much larger portion of their closed claims.” The 2022 MCAS national survey of claims payment problems, published by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, validates Weiss’ findings. It shows that, among the 50 states, insurers in Florida not only denied the largest percentage of unpaid claims, but also had the nation’s largest percentage of unprocessed claims and the second largest percentage of claims paid only after a 60-day delay. However, the NAIC reports only state-by-state averages and does not disclose its MCAS data on individual companies. Weiss concludes, “The public can’t even begin to cope with the property insurance crisis until both the industry and the government provide full transparency. Strong truth in insurance legislation is urgently needed.” To check their insurers’ current Weiss Safety Rating, reflecting each company’s financial strength, consumers can go to https://weissratings.com/en/insurance.

Another 1 in 1000 yr event. I don’t remember those 20 years go.

OK. I should have started with this. Keep this crap up and you will not have to worry about what’s in the threads. Drop it.

We know what you’re passing.

It wasn’t true or foreseeable when you posted it.

We can’t cure mental illness. We can only hope to contain it.

Another feather in your cap.

Congratulations. You have won the coveted golden turd award for posting total bullshit.

17 active tornado warnings. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that many.

Especially here in the Milton Special Ed thread

Gov. DeSantis warns Milton looters could meet shooters in ‘Second Amendment state’ https://floridapolitics.com/archives/700379-2nd-amendment-state-looters/

Hurricane Milton has requested that I ban you for life. Request under consideration.

The club is growing by leaps and bounds.

Thanks for proving my point.

It’s called culling the herd.

Nope. Small cane at present. Will weaken and expand in size as it approaches FL.

Even if it weakens it will be transporting a Cat 5 surge. Think Katrina into New Orleans as a Cat 3. Milton is currently at 911 MB, 175 mph sustained.

And the beat goes on. 911 MB, 175 Sustained
