NORTH PORT, Fla.(AP)— Christine Barrett was inside her family’s North Port home during Hurricane Ian when one of her children started yelling that water was coming up from the shower. Then it started coming in from outside the house. Eventually the family was forced to climb on top of their kitchen cabinets — they put water wings on their 1-year-old — and were rescued the next day by boat. After the floodwaters had finally gone down Barrett and her family were cleaning out the damp and muddy house. On the front lawn lay chairs, a dresser, couch cushions, flooring planks and a pile of damp drywall. Similar scenes played out across the block as residents tried to clear out the soggy mess before mold set in. North Port is about 5 miles (8 kilometers) inland and the Barretts - like many of its residents - live in areas where flood insurance isn’t required and therefore, don’t have it. Now many wonder how they’ll afford much-needed repairs. www.yahoo.com/news/hurricane-ian-floods-leave-mess-050803559.html |

Are you not aware that nobody knew where this was going to hit or to what extent? But, I know you don't care. You only have some new found "caring" when you want to do your academy award winning swooning to try to bash someone on the right.

They were talking about this on the news this morning. Basically the insurance is $500 a year but then comes all the restrictions and surcharges which make it impossible for a homeowner to get.

Connecticut isn't a Caribbean oasis and is far from a perfect place to live but never have to worry about hurricanes. Last one hit in 1985. Ft Meyes area won't look like it did before

Nor'easters are the only weather issues around here as you know We get some nasty thunderstorms with hail from time to time, and an occasional bad snowstorm, but we rarely lose power. We think about moving, but there is no place that has the weather that we do. |

Both my kids and families as you know live in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area.( well maybe you don't lol) If it wasn't for San I'd be moving in that area within a couple years |
