what about the physical assets of the insurance compnay, buildings etc? if your firm owns its own building, and lets say it burnt down or destroyed in some other way, who carries the risk for that? Yourselves?

Post Thu Sep 02, 2004 6:57 am

Largely, yes. An insurance company's main assets are not the buildings it occupies but the financial reocrds which, believe me, are double triple backed up at offsite recovery centers, etc. In relative comparison, the working buildings are not that significant a piece of the operation.

As for buildings owned as investments, you bet they are insured by others. Typically, however, with large retentions (deductibles) as the point would be to
insure only against catastrophic degrees of loss.

Good luck DS.

Current storm path projection Yikes!

<Edit>

Made landfall with 105 mph winds.


@Warrior..... past ten years? Has it been that long already? Let's see.... 1994.

Hmmm. You're right. The change in direction started back then. I don't know why but I thought it's only been 5 years.

The "northerly" trend was supposed to indicate that more of the storms would be making close to first real landfall on the US coastline than before and usually on the Atlantic side.

Thank you.

<Edit>

It was weather trend article that was published quite a while ago. I have to go find it now.

Anyway, I don't mean 1994 exactly to the day. I mean that it seemed only about 5 years ago that I read it but now I realize it was longer than that.

Its weakened a little bit and the barametric pressure has risen also, lets all hope this trend continues and it doesnt fire back up again.

Good Luck dark shadow our thoughts are with u in this time of peril

Post Sat Sep 04, 2004 7:32 pm

Hi everyone figured i would post a quick message before the power goes bye-bye,

The winds have picked up a bunch and a few trees are layin in the road, but thats just the start, aroun 2am the real Sh** will start. My area is slated to have 85-110mph sustained winds for about 10 hours straight and dumping around 17-19 inches of rain..(anyone have a canoe? ).

Well have a good night TLR time to light the candles, and watch the town get layed to waste.

Later all

anyone know how long this hurricano is likely to last? when are we likely to be able to re-establish comms with DS? presumably even when he has (we all hope!) emerged from his shelter, there'll be no power for a while.

Post Sun Sep 05, 2004 3:28 am

apparently there's 13'000 electric personell waiting for it to pass to go in and re-establish power along with alot of other rescue personell. so i think it wont be long. but since the eye is passing so damm close to his house, there might be more debri for the workers to get through, or wade through.

57 out of 67 counties in Florida have some degree of significant power loss. Orlando area was fairly badly hit.

More concern now is the amount of water that's been dumped on the ground.

There's a little town just south of Orlando that is the direct nexus of both Charley's path and Frances'.

Hope all is OK. Death toll was not as great as it could have been. Still a few souls were lost.

Post Wed Sep 08, 2004 2:55 am

Ga got a little of the damage as well. Muti thousands out of power and having to pull power crews from other states as well.
