In major disasters, like big winter storms, hurricanes, and the like, insurers back up their losses and are made whole by the government. That's really what FEMA is for and little else. You are nothing to FEMA and they don't give a shit about you. They're there to pay down the insurance company's losses so those companies don't go bankrupt.
You are just a wuss, couldn’t handle a winter in the NE
Oh, but I can.....I loath summers, hate the heat. Other than dealing with driving in the snow and shoveling, I could survive it. I love winter weather. love the cold.
Hey, you could be a snowbird, a quarter of Florida probably already is, as were a good number of Canadians until you know who turned them against us
I was stationed in Orlando during bootcamp in the 80's. It was August and man, talk about a fuckin heat wave...I recall always asking the white chics, how long do tans last, cause my black ass was literally turning coal black...LOL and then after bootcamp, they sent my black ass to San Diego and then after that, I was sent to Hawaii and then after that fuckin New Orleans....I couldn't escape these hot fuckin deportatons...true story!!
And that is why you can not drive in snow, plus, pretty sure you probably are driving a front wheel vehicle
Yes, a great deal of these homeowners do turn to FEMA, however claims are made by these devasted areas so much, that a lot of these states lose insurance companies because of it, Fla being an example. But never think for one second that insurers don't use these catastrophic events to raise premiums. As a matter of fact, State Farm has a provision that address it with their policies, its called Global something? All I know, I'm having to pay more because of it.
I'm retired and I got no place to go when the weather gets bad. I simply keep my black ass home where its safe. So far, we're iced down until hopefully next week. I got a bad knee and nothing and I mean nothing is more important than me and my safety.
Of course they do. They and FEMA also allow people to rebuild on the same spot in the same way to have their home and whatever destroyed in the next major storm to blow through. In Florida it is now possible to build hurricane resistant or even proof homes and buildings. Some people do and their home survives even the worst.
I grew up racing sprint and then regular cars in both summer and snowy winter months.
Not on ice or when hydroplaning. When power is taken off, asymmetrical drift stops and the vehicle goes where steered. Like many things taught in driver's ed, the steer into the skid in these conditions is wrong. Power on on ice means it gets applied unevenly to the wheels and adds to instability. Momentarily taking power off allows you to recover in the turn or skid before reapplying power. The loss in speed can be minimal as there isn't much friction when on ice or hydroplaning.
Ya I literally grew up doing rally car style racing. Drifting, skid recover, etc, winter, summer, rain and sand.
What's this? A straight up disagreement with Fastlane? lol. I am here to tell you that those that deal with severe weekly winter storms can drive in horrible conditions much better than our Southern brothers and sisters. There's just no substitute for experience. Anyone like me that lived in a state with 6 months of hard winters for decades can't help but become very skilled in the art of winter driving. It's hilarious when I watch people in the south drive in 2 inches of snow.
The Superbowl in 2011 was between Green Bay and Pittsburgh and I saw several Yankees whining about the roads and saying they had a hard time traveling them because of lack of plowing. Green Bay and Pittsburgh get a lot of snow but they have snow plows as soon as the snow get a couple inches thick. Plus they have salted roads. Just look under a 10 year old car from Texas and one from Geen Bay and tell me which has more rust. I have seen lots of news reports of major multiy car pileups in snow up north. My experience in Colorado was they were over confident about their ability to drive in snow.
LOL, I was just jabbing at you like I would in a bar and in that same good cheer, I'll say whatever you want to tell yourself, lol.
For the first time in 15 years, an emergency happened and I was not needed. It is not retirement, but it is close.
oh,....and if you don't know what Im talking about here.........your fucked anyway. So just carry a cell phone with you to call a tow truck instead,
