So, the good news is, we who choose to live in areas relatively safe from hurricanes will have yet another chance to pay for beach dweller risks, as our crooked insurance companies point to this "unservivable storm" next year as the reason they're doubling our already absurd rates, once again.

Much more reasonable (and justified) response!
Body count is up to 11 now by the way - most in Georgia, nowhere near the beach. One can hope the insurance companies will acknowledge that it isn't just beach-front property that risks catastrophic damage from hurricanes, AND that someone in Florida cares enough to reconsider the insurance regulations AND zoning regulations.
Such as - if you have beach-front property, insurance companies are no longer required to cover you for hurricane damage at all, and can jack up your premiums yearly however they see fit if they do end up offering you beachfront property hurricane damage. And no more manufactured homes or movable sheds within "x" feet of the ocean.
Obviously hurricanes can be worse than just damaging beach front property but this one item should be a no-brainer. You make your choices, you takes your chances.
