    Wha'cha wanna bet that the insurance companies will claim that this falls under the 'acts of god' clause, and not pay out?

    Wow, the devastation is worse than the destruction left in Hurricane Andrew's wake. That tornado was unusually wide.

    I can't even imagine how those people must feel.

    Which reminds me of a scene in Douglas Adams' "Mostly Harmless"

    "[...] They reinstated the death penalty for insurance company executives."

    "Really? For what offense?"

    "Offense?"


    I don't mean to offend anybody who works in the industry, but what insurance companies get away with is frightening.
