It's not often I get the chance to pass along info that significantly effects lives.
There was no sign of a hurricane back on July 28th, but providentially,

asked us about insurance?
It got me thinking about my own insurance and I popped off a message to all our partners that same night. I listed my policy coverages including homeowners with flood and wind, life insurance, auto, liability, and umbrella.
When we had a partner's meeting about a week later (with a rep from each family,) I was heartened that most had actually done a review of their policies. I think that most of those who hadn't bothered, DID look at their coverage after that - based on comments I've gotten.
Now I've been accused of being a "fortune-teller" for anticipating IAN. Thank you
ParryG !
The additional coverage didn't prevent the heartache of homes damaged by trees, debris, and in some cases several feet of nasty water, but it sure helps. This storm surprised us all and it will be many months before we recover...and even longer until the coastal regions see anything like normal. The losses and cleanup really suck, but maybe for the first time, insurance was really worth it?!
