Insurance is nearly impossible to come by thru there as well Peaches, you cant get federal flood insurance, so people just build and hope that they'll make enough on the rentals to rebuild when the time comesOriginally posted by Peaches
This is what kept me from buying a house on the Outer Banks. After living through hurricanes in FL (we were there visiting relatives in Jax during Camille, then moved there a few years later), I just couldn't bear watching everything I owned being taken by the sea.
IMHO, the OB are due for a massive hurricane/nor'easter that will do some serious damage to those $1-3mil homes they've been building right on the ocean.
Hope everything goes well for all the coastlines that are getting hammered!!!

I take it you've never lost anything in a hurricane? ;)Originally posted by Amputate Your Head

Its not that easy. Had an old tree fall over on the house and damage the roof, not too cool during a 125+ mph wind storm...
Its kinda like, if you have theft on your car and its stolen but not paid off.
You dont really get a new car, that one is just paid off.
Growing up in hurricane land, Ive lost a lot of shit over the years, including cars, boats, 4 wheelers etc due to flooding and damage.
My mom had insurance too, but its no xmas party when you lose things.

Ive had 2 feet of water in my house as a kid.Originally posted by Amputate Your Head
nope.... grew up in the arctic.
and lost damn near everything.
TV, clothes, toys, you name it.
Picture your house with a foot or so of water in it.
What you cant save, goes.
and no insurance man gives a fuck.
By the time I was 15, we havd lived in 3 different homes that were totally flooded out.
We had to get an apartment for a couple years when I was akid because my moms finances didnt cover things like that. And flood insurance only goes so far.

Insurance wasn't my issue - I didn't want to watch my pictures, collectibles, keepsakes, etc. go into the ocean.Originally posted by Amputate Your Head
Hurricane insurance is required here, so I'm ready. Bring on Jimena. I would never buy unless I was beachfront and it wasn't worth the risk for me. But I'm a wuss. 
Instead, I rent a house there for a month or two a year - all the fun, none of the responsibilities.

been there done that. My mother's house was lost three times to flooding. And it wasn;t 2 or 3 feet. It was more like 15 (in the house)... actual flood water level was around 53 feet.Originally posted by Fletch XXX

Nah, let the irogant phrick die..Originally posted by KRL
I consider myself a fearless person and there are not many things I won't try just for the thrill of it, but surfing a 30 - 40FT wave? I think I'll just sit in the bleachers and watch you do that one AMP.
Be careful out there AMP. That's seriously beyond hardcore extreme surfing.
