JR, have you given any thought that all the major insurance companies are doing the same thing. Making tons of money on the good years then screaming when they have a bad one. The insurance industry is saying how much money they lost, but all reported record profits for 2005 when hurricane Katrina hit. I see people here selling their homes because they can't afford the insurance. Myself and my two sisters were born and raised in FL. I see my sisters moving out of state now because they are retired and can no longer afford their home. I will probably follow them. We don't and have never been able to afford to live on the water but we continue to pay for those living on the barrier islands. We have a major problem when people have to give up their homes because they can't afford the insurance and I don't care where they live. It is just plain wrong.
