Default Put accordian shutters on my home in Boca Raton 2 yrs ago.

It was $4,500 and I expected a tax rebate OR a change in my Homeowner's.
Not. I was sorry to leave those when I moved a month or so ago. The only window I didn't cover was a Hurricane Rated very thick metal and glass door.
Apparently by not covering that I missed the lowered HO policy insurance fee. Every window must be covered. And the door itself was over $2,000.
House was built 30 years ago and was 1800 feet.

I have experienced Hurricanes in South FL for 30 years. I doubt we could or would be missed here in TV if we were in a storm path. I wish in my closing packet I had obtained information on the safest room in this cyv. Guessing I have my eye on it, brought all my Hurricane supplies, so I'm as ready as I can be. However, this is the first frame house I've lived in since moving to FL.
That makes me a little shaky if you know what I mean. I'm seriously thinking of retrofitting the master closet...I know and have seen the damage Hurricanes cause. Mother Nature can really get angry.
