But I hear NJ will be putting bigger mansions on the shore. Laughable. Storms hit rich people too, as illness. When will they learn?

NJ is going to get kicked out of the national insurance pool just like Florida did. Wait till they get their new rates, along with hurricane education that state sorely needs.

People trying to get gas for generators after the storm??? Even in the three day evac window???

Here's a news flash. I get a 200.00 discount for my generator each year. I am also subjected to random "inspections" of my home, and the hurricane readiness I get a discount for each year. Guess what? If they come anytime between June 1 - Dec 1, and tell me to start my generator, and I can't because there is no gas inside...I LOSE MY DISCOUNT FOR THAT ITEM. It's no good without the gas in it. And no where can handle everyone getting gas at once! I keep hearing..."but they were in line trying to buy gas". Hello.....you do that at the beginning of the season. NJ will now be put through extensive hurricane edu for several years now. They need it. And the facts are that land is sinking on that coast. However owns a home should fix it and sell it.

Remember, when you can see the water, it can see you. It is to be feared. Money will not save you.
And the taxpayers around the country are tired of paying for it. That's the Florida story, and we are now on our own. Imagine if FEMA were privatized! Do those homeowners realize that? Just wondering....
