Pretty much agree with everything you said. It really sucks though, cause most of the time you have to buy the flood insurance from the govt.
Edit: I live on the gulf, and I rent. Double fucked. Have renters insurance, but I ned to see what it actually covers after fire and theft.

I am sure somewhere there is "hurricane insurance" although I have never heard of it and I have lived on the Texas Gulf coast my entire life. In addition that insurance insurance wouldn't be a requirement anyway. It would be no different than supplemental flood insurance or a windstorm policy. You have to remember, insurance companies are in the business of taking your money not paying you theirs for claims.
Just like "earthquake insurance" even if you live on a fault line you aren't required to take it out.

As I stated in my last post, here on the Gulf Coast we to take out a separate "windstorm" policy for wind damage. Anything wind damaged falls into this category hurricane, tornadoes, thunderstorms, etc. Just like we take out a separate flood policy.

They upgraded Irma to cat 5 today. Let's hope it doesn't come ashore.

While I agree global warming is real, point out hurricanes happening during hurricane season is pretty stupid, thats like pointing out a blizzard in the middle of winter as climate change. Now, if we had a hurricane during the dead of winter, I think that would be a wake up call to a lot of people, due to hurricanes needing very warm water to form and keep accelerating.
they should rename it to hurricane wolf.. maybe then people will stop building their houses in disaster prone areas out of sticks >.>

California can't even have big Earthquakes, we're pretty much maxed out at 7.9/8.0, which while rough, we've managed to build our structures to survive them quite easily.
Heck, just today we've had 26 earthquakes in the state, over 8k in the last year, most of them you can't feel, or it's like a subtle vibration. Last one was a baby, 1.6, about 30 minutes ago!
The worst EQ ever in the state, in 1906 in San Francisco, only killed 3k people. Besides that (and once we learned how to build stuff properly), the next highest was 115 in the 40s, and then they required school buildings to meet the same standards as residential/commerical buildings.
