Every once in a while, I read something that takes me by surprise and causes me to have an “Aha!” moment! Such was the case in a recent Insurance Journal article I thought you’d find entertaining and may give you an “Aha!” of your own.
My email has been bombarded with notices since Monday from most of the insurance companies and brokers I work with.

Hurricane Dolly struck South Padre Island on July 23, 2008 with winds near 100 miles per hour, a four foot storm surge, and 12 to 15 inches of rain. Damage to structures on the Island and in Port Isabel, across the bridge on the Texas mainland, was pretty moderate and consisted of mostly damage to roofs. Power was knocked out to most residents and businesses for one to two weeks. Anything perishable, whether in a business or home spoiled.
