Is the era of hurricane intensitydrawing to a close?
Such eras generally last betweenone and three decades, andwe’re inyear19. They tend to produce an ab-normal number of hurricanes andmajor hurricanes each season, in-
creasing the odds of aU.S. landfall.Yet last year only twoCategory1
hurricanes emerged, and this year hasbeen relatively slowwith four hurri-canes so far, and only one of those hadsustainedwinds greater than110mph.The average season sees six hurri-canes, threemajor.
Gerry Bell, lead hurricane forecast-er for theNationalOceanic andAt-
mospheric Administration, said an erais over onlywhen there is “someconvincing evidence that conditionshave reversed.”
While he cautions it’s too early tosay that’s happened, he said there aresomehints theAtlantic basinmightbe calming down.

Cellphones have becomea hot commodity in prisonblack markets, according toFlorida Department of Cor-rections spokeswoman Jes-

South Florida homeowners concernedabout the rising cost of their flood insur-ance are being encouraged by the state tofind out whether a policy written by aprivate company can save themmoney.
So far, shoppers will find only a fewcompanies competingwith the long-estab-lished National Flood Insurance Program,but state insurance officials and marketexperts expect that to gradually change asthe cost of government-subsidized insur-ance increases in coming years.
Anyone who wants to understand thezigs andzagsof the flood insurancemarketover the past couple of years should bringtheir knee-high wading boots out of thecloset. It’s already deep, and the creekkeeps rising.
After flood claims from a long series ofdisasters over the past decade pushed thefederal flood program deeper into debt,Congress in 2012enacted the Big-gert-Waters Act.The reforms wereintended to endtaxpayer subsidiesto the program byforcing propertyowners in thehighest risk areasto pay premiumsthat more accu-rately reflectedtheir floodingrisks.
That debt bal-looned to $24 bil-lion after Super-storm Sandy hit the Northeast in October2012.
But then property owners in high-riskzones started seeing massive increases intheir flood insurance renewal bills, andCongress started feeling pressure to rollback the effects of the reforms.
As that debate was underway, two statelegislators from Pinellas County spear-headed a law encouraging private compa-nies to enter the flood insurancemarket byallowing greater flexibility on how they setrates and file them for state approval.
They reasoned that urgingmore privateinsurance companies into the gamewouldhelp reduce taxpayer subsidies in the na-tional program by driving some free mar-ket competition into the flood insurancepool. They also believed that private com-panies would be able to set prices thatwould enable them to make a profit andcompete with the rapidly increasing costsof high-risk federal flood policies.
Two Florida companies were alreadyrolling out private flood insurance optionsas the legislature acted.
The Flood Insurance Agency, based inGainesville, started marketing to GulfCoast homeowners whose renewal billswere increasingby thousandsof dollars forthe coming year.

DON’T MISS OUT ON PROGRESSQuestion: Is there anything that I should be doingwith my old annuity and life insurance policies?Answer: We regularly meet with retirees that have had contractsfor many years or decades.
