"More insurers backing away from coasts
By Bruce Mohl, Globe Staff | October 14, 2007
The hurricane anxiety of home insurance companies is starting to spread beyond Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts, creeping northward along the coast to Boston and the North Shore.
The level of angst is nothing like it is on the Cape, where many insurers have either pulled out or sharply restricted their underwriting in coastal areas, forcing more than 40,000 homeowners to scramble for coverage.
But some insurers are now retrenching along the entire Massachusetts coast, even in areas that are not considered likely targets for a hurricane's full brunt.
Maxine Tassinari Teixeira is one of the latest victims. She can't see the ocean from her East Boston home, but her insurer decided it didn't want to provide coverage within three miles of the coast, so it wouldn't renew her policy.
