EDIT: Just learned that my town got the record for Florida: 10", 2.5" more than Pensacola next door.
We have a Habitat for Humanity house/mortgage. Structure is new and well above code, far enough inland to not worry much about hurricane winds and flooding. At least we’re not likely to take it in the teeth except in the most extreme event, and it would have to hit hard, and just west of us.
Know what I’ve been thinking about? Tornadoes. Grew up in Oklahoma, I know what that shit is about. Last summer my wife left for the bank and it turned black, within minutes, solar lights on at 10AM. Got to thinking, “We may be set for hurricanes, but no house is proof against the tornadoes that come with them.”
Even worse, I’m about to pay the house off. Nice, right? What if I can’t insure it in my old age? Just turned the corner on my earning potential, maybe we can’t coast until death? In any case, I want to leave it to my (now) small children.
LOL, and I commented on here about maybe renting the place out when I retire. Got run over with landlord hate. “Alright you fuckers. Go buy a damned house then. Won’t be renting mine out at a good rate. Less fair-housing on the market, good deal, right?”
