Damaged aircraft - should I pay?

Finally, you never can be sure if by moving you are not going from bad
to worse. I have friends in South Florida who didn't leave when
Andrew approached. They could go North or South (though not too far).
When I asked (in quite colorful language) why they didn't bug out,
they replied there was uncertainty where exactly the storm would
strike, forecast information was confusing, and they didn't know
until it was too late which way to run.

You board up the house, move the stuff in it onto the top of cabinets, or
boards on top of ladders; you get the picture. one person takes the car and
bugs out early with the stuff that has to be moved. You wait with the
plane, and the others that want to go with you until the track is pretty
certain, then bug out in the plane. You beat all of the last minute freeway
traffic that way, also.

Right, life and family is most important. If I am ever in similar
situations, I'll sure make every attempt to make it out with the plane.

Let's see I have 4 or 5 days notice. I have to spend most of one day
standing in line getting enough plywood to cover the house to try to
protect
that major investment..that by the way the entire family benefits from.

I don't buy it. You would only have to move the plane 60 miles or so.
There is time in there to move "that" major investment, also.

Ok. This guy is just insensitive or just a moron. Possibly both. Almost
certainly he has never been faced with the situations described. Or perhaps
he (she?) is a super human. Or perhaps s/he just thinks so. Either way, into
the ignore file goes he. or her. whatever.

You killfile a guy -- on Usenet -- for being "insensitive"?

You must have one heckuva big killfile!

60 miles doesn't move the plane out of the 12 hr margin of error.

I wouldn't let my wife bug out on her own. You never know what could
happen. She could get stuck in Texas type traffic, end up having to
sleep in the car on the freeway, etc. I'm not letting her do that just
to save the damn airplane.

How about taking the airplane with your wife? Car's insured too, no? Let
that sucker sit without the battery in it. You can get farther faster
with less hassle and surround yourself with people who are not refugees.
Cars are just a commodity, wherever else you go in the USA.

Five or six hundred miles in the right direction and you are in a
different, carefree world. Why not sip a little wine on a sunny veranda,
while contemplating with detachment all the work the poor insurance
adjusters are about to undertake on your behalf?
