    Insurance

    Well, I guess we in the South will see a major increase again. Many of you in other regions will say, you are heartless, worrying about Insurance at a time like this.

    I lived during in and through Andrew, survived several weeks with absolutely NO National Guard help, NO ice and NO electricity and three small boys a little grill and just enough charcoal to keep twenty four hours a day going, boiling water for showers only and securing drinking water almost at gunpoint on some days at first. I was in an ice riot and didn't give a damn how much was being charged, the bloody cops had no reason to stop the sale. In Miami August for those in the know. Since then we have been hammered with more damage, more 'canes and sky high rates so yes, I am concerned. I live in Broward because of Andrew's direct effect on housing.

    Last week my son got his license. AIG told me it would be $330.00 per month to add him on. When the time came however my actual Insurance went from 1661.00 for six months (no one year policies are writtn in Florida). Instead it acully went to 4200.00 per six months FOR LIABILITY ONLY ON THE CAR HE DRIVES, 2600.00 for a '94 Buick with no Comp & Collision!!!!! So, today I had to transfer the Car to him and get him insured with meaningless Insurance from a local rinky dink company. That brought his bill to 300.00 down and 170.00 per month for six months!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/20 coverage only. Keep in mind all these quotes do not include Uninsured Motorist. So, the law abiding citizens in this third world cesspool known as South Florida will get hammered again... oh well... just a vent!

    Hang in there!

    I can't believe Gulfport MS was so devastated. I lived there for 6 months while my husband was still in the Navy, I took my first chem class at Gulfport Community College back in 1995. What a cool place, hang in there...

      The devastation is unimaginable now that clear news is coming in. I am not shocked but to be honest feel like tossing in the towel at work and going up there for a couple of years. I know Publix Markets will start taking in donations and that's where my money will go. They've done alot of good over the years and i trust them. They used to be owned by one family and closed on Sundays but they still have the reputation as a good company because family is still on the board.

        Robivi3,
        I can't imagine "the struggles" you went thru during Andrew, but I'm sure you can "really understand" the devastation that Katrina has created and all the problems that will now follow.

        Most people will never "understand or comprehend" what it would be like to be without food, water, electric, roof over your head, or even clothes on your back - and then have children with you too depending on you....

        When our nation was born, it was born of "self-reliant" people who survived anything.... They supplied their own food, clothing, etc... They traded or bartered to get the things "they" couldn't do.. They lived by the sweat of their brow!

        THOSE DAYS ARE NO-MORE!!!

        I'm like you Robivi3 - I wish I could go and Help!!! What good I could do - I don't really know.....

        My donation may be small - but added to others it can create thousands to help these people...

        My suggestions are from "personal experience" and research only. Do not consider this as legal advice. Each bankruptcy case is different.

          We had the roof fortunately. Housing became a pricey commodity afterwards. To be honest the aftermath really drew our little neighborhood, black, white, spanish together. Most of us were just trying to survive. We new each others names after that and sometimes run into one another though we all live waaaaay north of the area now.

          Wind damage I can handle, water... water is an unreal force. This devestation is massive, Andrew was to, but Andrew cut a swath and was gone. This issue of a wall of water is what makes this more widespread. Families are lost completely, children were washed away and parents will live with that for the rest of their lives. My children were safe. In fact they were small enough that in the heat they ran around like half-naked homeless urchins in the August heat, but they were safe under their own roof. No water or electricity for a long time but safe. our little home was a 40's model made of poured concrete (opposed to block, military housing in the late 40's) and Dade County Pine, the hardest known) so the "bunker" held.
