What if you weren’t insured when Milton Roared in? Millions face a shaky future.

Hurricane Milton caused catastrophic damage, with insured losses estimated at $17-28 billion and total damage reaching up to $34 billion, including uninsured homes and businesses, according to a report by property data analysts CoreLogic. The growing frequency of severe storms is leading to difficulties in obtaining insurance, particularly in high-risk areas like Tampa. As a result, homeowners may need to self-insure, leaving them vulnerable to substantial financial burdens in future disasters.
