I could go on and on about the stories I've heard about how much people made off storms. I don't know what the answer is but I will agree it's all jacked up. I get so tired to paying for other peoples scams and unwillingness to actually take care of themselves.

And like the plaintiff lawyers, that’s why we paid so much for insurance. When we moved to SC our combined insurance (home, auto, umbrella etc) dropped more than 70%. Monthly full replacement coverage for our home here is $92 a month. Total bill went from north of $2k a month to $465 a month. That includes 5 cars with two children under 25 with their cars.
