When the states change the claim rules
Deadlines, deductibles, and fee-shifting change by statute. We track the moves that matter to FL and SC policyholders. Feed is monitored and updated as bills advance.
SB 2-A claim-law overhaul: implementation tracking
The 2022 reforms compressed notice windows and altered fee-shifting. We track how carriers and courts apply them to the current claims wave.
Read the guide →Citizens depopulation and coastal wind availability
Citizens' policy count and takeout activity shape who insures wind on the coast, and which carrier a claim lands with after a storm.
Read the guide →Coastal wind-pool and named-storm deductible terms
SC named-storm deductibles are contractual, not statutory. We flag per-storm vs. per-season wording changes as coastal carriers refile forms.

The storms driving the current claims wave
Every storm page carries its own claims record: insured losses, closure rates, and the denial fight it produced. The full archive runs 51 storms.
Hurricane Debby 2024
Debby's wind was a footnote — its stalled rain flooded Sarasota, Savannah, and the SC Lowcountry, and most of that water hit homes with no flood policy
Open the dossier →Hurricane Helene 2024
42% of Helene–Milton residential claims closed without payment — most flood losses had no flood policy behind them
Open the dossier →Hurricane Milton 2024
Landed 13 days after Helene — insurers fought over which storm, and which policy, owed for the same house
Open the dossier →Hurricane Idalia 2023
The strongest Big Bend hurricane in over a century produced just $310M in insured losses — because so much of the region carried no insurance at all
Open the dossier →Hurricane Ian 2022
Florida's costliest hurricane: 700,000+ claims, roughly 3 in 10 residential claims closed without payment, a surge-vs-wind litigation wave, and the SB 2-A overhaul of Florida claim law.
Open the dossier →Hurricane Nicole 2022
A minimal November hurricane condemned two dozen Daytona-area condo towers — and taught beachfront Florida that erosion isn't a covered peril
