    There’s no way they survive long enough to make it underwater on most homes. Have you seen how often hurricanes come through. Entire roofs get ripped off constantly. Large flat object on top of roof? That’s not going to stick around long.

    Climate change isn’t real! Guys, the insurance companies won’t insure anyone and are leaving the state because of increasinf severe weather events. We have to start a socialized insurance company to try and keep people insured. Our voters are too stupid to realize that this makes our entire ethos a joke right?

      The insurance companies are leaving because of the Florida governments requirement that they pay to fully replace a roof whenever it’s 25% damaged, neighborhoods are literally crawling with roof repair crews trying to convince people to get their roofs replaced on their insurer’s dime. It’s incredibly unsustainable and this is the result. Also the rampant flooding from global warming.
