“Only the folks with food insurance, which hardly anybody has”

The limiting factor in food insurance isn’t cost, it’s storage space.

In this case we here in the Keys “are” the barrier islands along with Florida Bay.
Currently, it shows Irma hitting us. But, I will be surprised if there are not other tracks before it gets here,there usually are.
...
I am praying God moves it in a better, safe course...my mom is in Wilmington/Carolina, NC where i grew up. She is worried sick.

“Donna was my first and Andrew was my last with several in between.”

If one reads that in isolation as I did, jumping into the middle of the thread, it takes on an unintended meaning.

Donna in 1960 took all the water out of FLa. Bay. I heard it was an eerie sight.

We had just bought property down here then,had not had time to build on it.

Yeah Chuck I think we are going to get some of it if not a direct hit. But, it’s still too early to say exactly where. Some people don’t realize that the Keys are 125 miles long lots of places it can come ashore.

We stayed on Grassy Key and went vdown to Key West.
Put our boats in at the City Marina and went around the Island in a unique way to us.
On the way back to Grassy, i thought, what a royal pain getting all these folks out.
You going to go if it hits?

Takes five hours to drive from Miami to Key West. But it’s a beautiful drive.

Stay safe.

[Nearly?] every insurance company has some form of reinsurance, to insure itself against such contingencies.

(That’s not necessarily enough — mortgage issuers also hedged their bets (re-insured) through the derivatives market. Ultimately, that just made the inevitable crash exponentially worse.)
