got my power back
 

Thank God

Now all I need is to hear that Romney has won and I will be a little at ease

Well, glad you got one thing you wanted...

:cry:

Willy,
From experience, getting power back on takes some of the pressure off. You can stand down a little and start doing what you need to to get things fixed back up. I really feel for all of those that lost so much. I never go anywhere much to compare, but the NJ coast looks remarkably similar to Florida. Too many houses built right on the water. Speaking from experience..you are not going to like the next few years of property insurance premiums. Glad to see you and family made it through OK. Damn shame about Sr. Bert and the election.
Hang in there brother.

Glad ya got yer juice back on, Willy...Ridge is right...that in itself will be a remarkable load off...

Vic, I heard the other day this storm will cause insurance rates ACROSS THE NATION to rise...these bandits aren't just going to absorb losses of this magnatude...so to all you guys from coast to coast...bend over a lil more...

Any opportunity/excuse to raise the premium. (Real or imagined.)

Sandy did a ton of damage across a bunch of states and because the insurance companies are nationwide, you are correct. Rate Hikes Coming.
In Florida, insurance companies are using lots of excuses to raise and cancel folks. Insurance companies send out peeps to evaluate and take pictures of real property. Better not have a old looking roof, crack in the block or paint peeling. They will cancel you in a NJ minute. LOL..

damn... about the ONLY thing we had going for us here is that homeowners insurance is not too expensive...thats all we need.

It wasn't to bad in Florida until 2004 when we got hit by 4 hurricanes in 1 year. Then they went sky high.
