The problem isn’t high risk so to speak, the risk is lots of people with high risk. That might all file a claim at once.
Think a local bank. If only a dozen people pull money from their accounts, it isn’t a big deal. But if 50,000 people all line up at the bank at once, then it is a problem. Normally with expensive claims, if they are sporadic and infrequent, then they can absorb the costs and replenish losses quickly. But if it is expected to be expensive and frequent, then it isn’t profitable and potentially business threatening and you see companies pull out of those areas

here's a novel idea, go the fuck inside, i know CNN is fake news, but even people believe the fake news when they say its rainy and windy outside during a hurricane.

Its a ways out, but this could become really bad.

If it takes the lower side of that cone or there is nothing to reflect it back out...
Lee could approach Category 5 hurricane strength in record-warm Atlantic
Lee rapidly intensified into a strong tropical storm Wednesday morning as it tracks over record-warm ocean waters and an environment favorable for strengthening, which will fuel the storm to near Category-5 strength as it approaches the eastern Caribbean.

Overall it seems we will miss the bullet on this one, except maybe VA but no one gives a fuck about them anyways for being filthy plebs.
Sure SOME less accurate tracks historically are throwing a YOLO at Florida but the data seems to show places we actually care about will just suffer rough surf.
As others have pointed out, it is ALL about that turn. When it happens, where it happens and of course IF it happens.

Lots of hurricanes this season, but they're almost all ocean ones.
Which, I think I mentioned a while back (maybe in another thread), but they'll talk about how climate change is making us have more hurricanes while ignoring that these types are ones we wouldn't have even known about not that many decades ago. If a 50 mph tropical storm fizzles out in the middle of the Atlantic and you don't have modern radar, did it even happen? But in 2023 we'll be sure to name that fucker and add it to the tally.

I want to know what galaxy brain came up with this model. It looks like they drew it on with a ruler to skew the path and make the projections lean a touch toward Florida.

After 3 weeks of no rain we got 1.5" overnight (other side of the highway got 3") and we could get another 1.5" this evening, plus various thunderstorms over the next week.
Appreciate the water but it would be better if we had an even rate over the month minus all of the hail and gusts.

Definitely would have rather had some spread out rain. Annoyed because it seems like some shit is stuck in my damn sump pump and now I have to call someone to clean out the pit. This heavy rain is making me paranoid as shit now that my basement's going to flood.

We didn't even lose power . I lose power in normal wind or rain sometimes. That's how you know this area wasn't even affected.

Not currently. I’m not so worried about the power going out so much as I’m worried if we get another blast of heavy rain, with whatever’s clogging/blocking the pump, it might not be able to keep up. I do have a new pump coming, though, and it’ll also have a battery backup on it as well.

goto home depot tomorrow and get a utility pump
it's super cheap to start
obviously if you want more hp, you pay more, altho it sounds like you might incur some flooding in the neighborhood so ppl have probably already bought them out, just like how ppl buy out all the generators when a storm comes, try anyway.
just attach a garden hose to it, put it in standing water and you should be fine.
i had one as my backup backup backup to my sump pump in prev house.
