the repub dominated Florida legislature had 2 special sessions to deal with this problem. Did you actually expect them to do anything about it

Sure wind mitigation and structural reinforcement are nice but so many of the homes are pre-1990 built that the cost to do such things is prohibitive as hell..

I can't get a major insurer to quote me because my home was built in 1949 and has asbestos siding. The mitigation on that is out of site plus the foundation would have to be brought to 2020 standards. In a word. That's not gonna happen.
