      I expect it’ll come in the form of Katrina-like events, hurricanes causing massive flooding.

          Did you hear Florida has a system where private insurers can just pick and choose the policies they want away from the state funded insurance program? The homeowner will just get a letter that says, “we’re your new insurer now!”

          Florida taxpayers literally get the dregs.
