Florida Real Estate Insurance Info- In 2002, the Florida Legislature passed a law that
combined the Florida Residential Property and Casualty Joint Underwriting Association
(FRPCJUA) and the Florida Windstorm Underwriting Association (FWUA). This resulted in the
creation of Citizens Property insurance Corporation (Citizens), which more efficiently and
effectively provides insurance to, and serves the needs of, homeowners in high-risk areas
and others who cannot find coverage in the open, private insurance market. Web Site http://www.citizensfla.com/gen_info.asp

The Atlantic hurricane
season officially is from June 1st through November 30th.
DID YOU KNOW - Many
factors must be present for a hurricane to develop, they include:
Ocean temperature must be a minimum of 80 degrees to a depth of at least 150 feet.
The lower layer of the atmosphere (troposphere) must contain a large degree of high
humidity.
The difference of the wind speed between the lower and upper atmospheres must not exceed
20 miles per hour.
Thunderstorm activity must be present to start the circular spinning action and create an
upward flow of air.
Wind speed begins to speed up near the center of the thunderstorm center, and if
barometric pressure drops, more air is sucked up into the core of the storm and wind
velocity begins to increase. If wind speed increases to 74mph (the minimum velocity for
hurricane classification), an "eye" will generally begin to form, giving birth
to a hurricane.

Atlantic hurricanes often form to the west or northwest of the African equatorial coast.
Prevailing wind currents generally cause them to travel in a westward or northwestward
direction, making the Caribbean Islands usually vulnerable. Hurricanes can develop in
almost any of the world's oceans, but generally form in the tropics and the Gulf of
Mexico. Web Links Hurricane Info Tampa Bay Florida Ruskin NOAA
