Florida Hurricane Attorney has just processed NOAA Images of Tropical Storm Debby from the GOES Satellite. It is raining heavily after the eerie sunset. Waves are getting bigger as Sunday morning approaches. Not a pretty sight.

Hurricane Debby in the Gulf? Updates Here

Hurricane Debby

Florida Hurricane Attorney is watching the Gulf of Mexico this weekend for the strengthening of what may become our next Storm, Tropical Storm Debby or Hurricane Debby.

Update Sunday Midnight: The storm has been classified as a Tropical Storm.

As the Hurricane video update below stated, "As of 8 p.m. Thursday, the low-pressure system — now moving northward over the Gulf of Mexico and pulling rain and wind toward the region — has a 70 percent chance of becoming a tropical system by Saturday." The National Hurricane Center reports, “It looks like it has the makings of becoming our next tropical depression,” said Stacy Stewart, a senior hurricane specialist at the center.

One South Florida media source forecasted, "South Florida can expect heavy rains, thunderstorms and possibly localized flooding through the weekend. The system will also affect western Cuba and the central Bahamas." 

 

Subtropical Storm Beryl

BERYL

Florida Hurricane Attorney is on watch: According to Weather Underground, "Subtropical Storm Beryl, which has more to do with how the center of the storm is forming, not wind speed, according to Weather Underground's website. It is the second named Atlantic storm of the hurricane season that doesn't officially begin until June 1."

Live Report from Jacksonville Beach 8 PM EST:

"I live here in Jacksonville, so the roads right now are crazy. Get to hear the fire trucks and the ambulances on occasions. Winds are kicking up with gusts at around 70 mph, so borderline for a Cat 1, but it's making landfall, so that is expected to drop. The key for Tropical systems is that when they make landfall, winds push on direction and then as the eye passes, that pressure reverses into the opposite direction. Also, in the wake of the eye passing, you have a high probability of Tornadoes forming. This is not on par with a hurricane, however the centralized pressure is at 992 which has dropped 4 points from the 5:00 PM reports."

"Last, it's expected to meander around our area, turn back around and head up the coast. This storm should be taken very seriously because that meandering could cause the pressure to drop further. Just my opinion with living her most of my life and watching storms." S.S.

Atlantic Tropical Storm Ophelia

Atlantic Hurricane Lawyer, Tropical Storm Ophelia

The 15th storm of the year, Ophelia, formed on the 21st of September. She is currently headed west about 3000 miles from Florida and is expected to start turning northwest before Saturday. Ophelia is derived from the Greek word meaning "help". I think the image most people have of Ophelia is that based on Shakespeare's Hamlet and lets hope that Ophelia is swallowed up by the very ocean that created her.

Hurricane Insurance Company Goes Under

Hurricane Insurance,
Fair Claims Handling Practice

The importance of filing your claims properly is demonstrated in harsh ways in the Sun Sentinel article, "Expect low and slow claims payments if your insurer folds." Florida Guarantee Association has left well over a 1,000 unpaid claims in the wake of its insolvency declaration. As the article demonstrates insurance companies that go belly up often engage in delay practices. They often don't have the number or quality of adjusters it takes to keep up in a state like Florida where there can be diverse types of claims and a high volume.

The tragedy is that even with insurance regulators monitoring who gets to write insurance and how well they pay claims there is no guarantee claims will ultimately be resolved timely or for full and fair value. As soon as you realize your insurance company is dragging its feet in assessing your claim, reducing the value of claims, burying you in paperwork demands that extent the time for payment, declaring your loss uncovered by the policy you paid good money for, or utilizing its purported experts to deny your claims you should consider retaining counsel to assist you in holding the company you pay to protect you. Florida law gives you the insured, the right to fair claims handling practices so that you can receive the benefit of the bargain made for the premiums you paid.
