I live in Broward County , and have paid for my house. My hurricane insurance is really killing me. I live in Coral Springs , 25 miles from sea beach and have a concrete house that sustained Katrina and Wilma without any damage. Should I cancel the Flood and Hurricane portion of my insurance.? How common is that ?

I live in Broward County , and have paid for my house. I live 25 Miles away from Sea in a concrete house and was thinking if I can drop my hurricane coverage between Jan and July when there are no hurricanes. Can anybody advise me if this is possible and reccomendable ?

Please be specific - don't just say "worse" - explain whether that means more hurricanes, more severe hurricanes, a longer hurricane season, all of the above….. And don't just say "better" - explain whether that means fewer hurricanes, fewer storms, weaker storms, fewer storms hitting land, etc….

Thank you

I know it tracks west to here from Africa, but don’t hurricanes usually track north and northeasterly once they hit land?

Wer’e about to see a spike in gas prices. Actually it’s already started.

The more we depend on offshore drilling the more vulnerable to hurricanes our energy supply becomes. A DRILL DRILL DRILL future is a future of ever increasing and volatile gas prices.

What do you think?

I want to know how to track the remnants of hurricanes–not the hurricane itself. Like with Ike, where is that system now? Northern Europe? Asia?

I live near the ocean and my insurance company wants me to have "Pre-drilled" plywood for protection against hurricanes. has anyone done this before in CT?

I moved to a hurricane prone area, from an area that doesn’t get hurricanes, and need to make a hurricane kit before hanna comes. I have a service dog and cat. what would you suggest putting in a hurricane kit? I know i need food and water for all 3 of us, a first aide kit, but what else??

thanks
also what do you need to bring with you to the shelters? do you bring food or do they feed you for example.

Can someone please help me find a website that gives the number of hurricanes that develop per year?

what are used to track hurricanes?
what do people reduce the risks of an hurricane occuring?

helpp meeeeeeeeee =[

The place got ripped up badly and flooded in 1999's hurricane Floyd but I understand that to have been a rare occurrence of 2 hurricanes back to back. Just wondering if I would want to invest there, and whether flood insurance would be highly recommended.

Certain individuals have made a big deal about the fact that according to Ryan Maue (PhD student) at Florida State, in 2008 the northern hemisphere experienced low tropical cyclone activity.

However, as Maue also notes, the North Atlantic experienced an above-average hurricane season.

According to Dr. Jeffrey Masters (Meteorologist), 2008 was the only hurricane season on record in the Atlantic that has featured major hurricanes in five separate months. Hurricane Paloma is now the second strongest November hurricane on record in the Atlantic.

So the northern hemisphere had an a weak hurricane season, but the north Atlantic had an abnormally strong season? Can anyone make sense of this?

i have an assignment due tomorrow and i need to know data about hurricanes in 2008 like their latitude, longtitude, mph, mb. please let me know if you can help!!! thanks

Im planning on moving to america in the next few years, and i know to expect hurricanes but i was just wondering what the most common hurricane category that florida was?
