We live on the east coast of Florida and hurricane insurance is all we really care about. We're covered now but in 5 years it's gone from $1,900 a year to $6,300 with a 10% deductible.

Probably a fuck up in the control tower. The guy directing the planes was fired.

The WH will claim that was not from Iranian missiles, but, um, you know, insect damage.
