    Everyone suggests those of us who live on the coast (even those like me who is a 12th generation Cape Codder) should move because of hurricanes. Keeping that flawed logic in mind, everyone who lives in an area of potential catastrophic events should move where it’s safe. Now if someone could just tell me where on earth that might be I’ll like to know… We live in a dangerous world, if you move you just change one potential disaster for another.

    So please stop suggesting people who live on in coastal areas(which is not the same as waterfront)move!

    I’ve heard the “flawed logic” term bandied about by Floridians in response to criticism of their predicament. This response is itself flawed.

    Wildfires do occur from time to time, but in unpredictable places and times. By their nature, they tend to occur in wilderness areas. That’s vastly different from massive urban development on a coastal area which YEARLY is subject to multiple storms, which have been documented for decades to hit the same general areas with depressing regularity.

    Kind of like the idiots who suggest that living in Kansas is bad because of tornados. Gee, a storm that might occur, lasts a few minutes, and usually leaves a limited path of damage, versus a storm which moves slowly (measured in days), has a damage area miles wide, and damages or destroys virtually everything in its path. And, which happens year after year after year…

    Floridians are just trying to come up with excuses for their absolute failure to have decent building codes, control unwise development, pay the true cost of their lifestyle decisions, etc. Give me a break.

    The Northeast has a totally different hurricane exposure and building codes than Florida. To compare the Northeast and FL exposures-or worse, use FL losses to model Northeast hurricane losses is totally flawed.

    Seems to me I saw a lot of houses burned to the ground by the wildfires. Looks like people are making stupid lifestyle decisions to live in the path of wildfires.

    The victims of any fire should be informed, if they are not satisfied with the insurance company adjuster handling the claim / loss. They should contact a Public Adjuster to handle their claim.

    Their insurance company adjuster only represents the insurance company and the Public Adjuster represents YOU!

    Letting the insurance company adjuster decide their claim is like letting an IRS agent do their taxes’
