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.


If you live in a hurricane area and you are in Home Depot 3 days before
the hurricane hits trying to buy plywood you are a moron.

If you live in a hurricane area you have a problem with humidity and
mold. Most folks might not have inside storage with or without AC so
storing plywood at Home Depot may be the cheapest alternative.

Then what do you do with $400 worth of plywood?

It seems old fashoned storm shutters would be the way to go.

Hee Hee,
I don't argue that at all..but it happens just watch the news!

Right now (1pm West Coast time) on cnn.com, there is a picture of
numerous overturned planes. Presumably insurance pays for this and
since I pay for insurance, should I feel a bit bummed that these owners
didn't fly their planes to safety and help lower my insurance costs?

That assumes the aircraft were airworthy, the weather was flyable as
equipped, the pilots were current, that they didn't have higher some
more-substantial priority, and that they didn't in fact try to move them
someplace safe.

After Hurricane Andrew, for example, I volunteered for a day at an FBO at
Baton Rouge to which planes from New Orleans had been evacuated. The storm
missed NOLA and hit Baton Rouge and the flight line looked like airplane
wrecking yard.

Look on the bright side: maybe the loss of all those planes will make
yours more valuable and offset the incresed insurance premium:-( Maybe
the premiums will only increase for people in hurricane alley, though I
don't know.

example) and... Sorry, I just don't get it.

Hilton,
My insurance company will pay for the relocation expenses. Flight cost
and hotel for duration.
Hey we are all paying for the re-building of New Orleans. That bums me
out. I should not have to pay for some one else's mistake.

When you buy insurance you are agreeing to pool your risk with others. If
you don't want to participate in the consequences of other people's decision
making, don't buy insurance.

Yes, skip the insurance and you WILL be out there moving your plane to
a safe airport! Gotta save it, it's NOT insured!

If its not insured, it can't stay at 4R7...
