What concerns me is that they get the 400% rise in rates, we have no hurricane for 3 years, they keep the money and show their 20% ROI and the state allows them to keep it.

We're facing a 70% rise here, but, I get the feeling the insurance companies are going to have to do some fast dancing to keep the rates that high. I did notice big oil got socked with a $10 billion hit on their tax exemptions. That will have some creative spin put on it I am sure.

We do live in interesting times.
