Well there's your problem. If a company is raising rates nationally to cover increases in portions of its coverage area, if that goes on too long a more local insurance company may come in and undercut them. But people have to be willing to switch for that to happen.
No offense but that isn't really a good reason to not switch.
Tropical Storm Jose' has formed in the central Atlantic, near where Irma began. His forecast path is expected to brush the Leeward Islands, but then turn north and not be a threat to any other land (aside from possibly Bermuda).
THEN, tropical depression 13 has formed in the Bay of Campeche (Mexico). That system is forecast to become a tropical storm, but turn into the Mexican coast fairly quickly.
We certainly are in the peak time of year for tropical systems.

Wouldn't this be the introduction to Insurance 101 (if that were a course)?

My in-laws like to go on cruises this time of year because they are cheap (this year they decided to go to the NE instead). I remind them why they are so cheap and sooner or later their luck will run out. Pretty sure mother nature is just laughing at me right now.
An uncontrollable 200-mile wide rip saw blade over-hyped? Only if you don't live in its path.
Yeah, right now the question seems to be 'will this **** florida, or will it buzz the east coast and slam into north carolina.
I hear the sugar white sand beaches of Grand Island are beautiful this time of year. Tropical Paradise.
Lol wut? I love to be pessimistic about the Wx peeps over hyping things but our decade of calm appears to be over. Harvey kicked Houston's butt.
I don't own a boat so I could be 100% wrong with this, but I thought in storms you take your boat out to sea away from land?
I just opened this thread and was going to "In before overhyped" but you had already taken care of that. Good work.
