It’s blowing sustained 175 right now. I’m confident it will lay down some before it hits.

AA you might be about to get another one. At my Dade City house, we installed hurricane impact windows a couple of years ago.

I have wind, fire and liability with a $7,500 hurricane deductible. I had no damage from wind. I could have borrowed my daughter’s Tesla, let the...

I’m moving to hurricane zone next year.” Not my daily home, it’s a weekend place. Worked super hard to bu...
