Farmers didn't pull out of Oklahoma after an F5 tornado ripped an 45 mile swath of Oklahoma to the ground -- and then ripped the roofs off countless other homes in ANOTHER 80 mile swath. So why would Farmers leave The Villages -- where the worst disaster that has ever happened was that neighborhood in your picture, where a few people lost some shingles? Good lord, you could take that picture in Oklahoma every other week, every single spring!

You seriously think it's "off topic" for me to point out the LIES these insurance companies are telling you about why they're leaving? Wow, I guess I didn't realize this was supposed to be a pity party for poor little Farmers Insurance, who couldn't make a go of it gouging Villagers so they could sell insurance at a discount to beach dwellers!
How is your tornado in Tulsa REAL and the one in the Villages FAKE? Again, were you here to see the devastation? That picture is ONLY ONE AREA that was hit. It was taken AFTER the clean up and well into rebuilding. You lived in Oklahoma for years, when have you seen a TAME tornado? Or irrelevant lightening strikes that burn down homes, or measly little sinkholes that sink homes into the ground?

Farmers is leaving Florida in part due to many natural disasters throughout Florida NOT ONLY ON THE COASTS. Litigation may also be part of the reason. The examples about the Villages disasters were just EXAMPLES. Take into account these disasters are occurring THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE it is easy to understand why insurance companies are leaving. Florida is not Oklahoma. You can't compare the two.

Is Oklahoma the lightening capital? No, that would be Florida! Does Oklahoma have massive areas throughout the state where sinkholes occur? Does it get destroyed by hurricanes year after year? Waterspouts? Does Oklahoma have those? Unamed storms that flood communities? Sea walls breaking because of too much water? Rivers that flood? Forests that burn because of drought? I can go on....
