Winter Storms Soon To Be Named: Welcome, Brutus

  1. Interesting....now insurance companies will be relieved of having to spend billions since most all have a clause that create a deductible of 10% of the total policy amount value for damages caused by named storms. If the house is insured for $250,000 with a $500 deductible, the deductible will be raised to $25,000 if damaged is caused by a named storm.

  2. That's interesting 6:24, I'm going to have to check that out.

    In the meantime, I think that names are funny. Love the Star Trek references "Khan" and "Q"
