Overseas we often hear about how destructive these huricanes are to the local population in Florida (and other parts of the Carribean).
A rather depressing recurring theme is how many people lose practically everything, due to the fact that they do not have any insurance.
Is this common? I assume insurance is more expensive in hurricane areas but is it really so expensive so as to warrant people not availing of it? What kind of state aid is possible for these people? Or is it just plain "stupidity" that some just don't take our insurance (though I hate to use that term)?
