I heard that this storm could be one of the worst they ever seen. How much damage do you guys think it will cost?
Also, 1992 was the last year before this year a major hurricane hit Florida, the time George the First was going out of office.
Seems like when Democrats are in office, more of the major hurricanes hit the Carolinas. Time for a statistical study to be committed.

It will be interesting to see how the insurance industry bounces back as yet another hurricane aims for the coast. There is already chatter in the insurance industry of problems from Charley:

Of course, Florida does have a disaster fund to help out the insurance industry following the aftermath of Andrew, to the sum of ~ 15 billion.

Not sure how much of a hit this fund took from Charlie - but even this may not save all insurers if the gold coast is heavily impacted.

I hope they don't face what us Texans faced after Allison. Massive rate increases, some companies pulling out of the state and some not writing new policies here or letting current policy holders add to their existing policies (like me).
