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.

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
