CATASTROPHIC HURRICANE IDA - Continuing Discussion Dec 18, 2021 19:20:18 GMT -6

Yep in St. Charles parish and still fighting insurance. About a $40K gap between what they are willing to pay and what it is going to cost to fix. One of the big issues is my roof. It has damage and needs a patch job but the size of my shingle changed by the manufacturer and the manufacturer says not to mix old with new shingles but insurance doesn't want to pay for the entire thing. My contractor says they will legally have to pay because it is impossible to repair it. I also have a couple things that are damaged that they sad while the hurricane exasperated they said it was damaged before so they won't pay. Insurance has sent out an additional field adjuster (which did a much better job) and a structural engineer so I am hoping I am a couple weeks from either a check or a denial.

What insurance company is denying those things for you???

Your roof is a SYSTEM - any break in the system leaves it vulnerable to future damage. Your insurance company knows that, too. They 100% need to pay for the entire roof on account of the shingle manufacturer changing the shingle size. Any public adjuster or attorney would take your case in a millisecond.

If the already damaged items weren’t already paid for by the insurance company, then they owe you for that prior damage as well. Sure, it’ll be a separate claim and separate deductible, AND you have to figure out what damaged those items/property in the past, but they owe you for it nonetheless.

Any public adjuster or attorney should be more than willing to take your specific case. Have you looked into either of those options yet?

Upc insurance. I have a friend that’s a lawyer and I discussed it with him. He encouraged me to get as much as I can and then get a lawyer. He said it would be cheaper for me that way. My issue came from having an awful initial field adjuster. It was shortly after the storm, the person was combative and didn’t write everything down.

stormydds: Thanks for your reply... as usual Nov 5, 2022 11:37:29 GMT -6

Zack Fradella: Yea, Lezak had a paper peer reviewed and published a year or so ago. Nov 5, 2022 9:03:24 GMT -6

stormydds: Thanks for your response. I felt that is the case. that's too bad. Has there been any peer reviewed papers on the LRC hypothesis? Nov 4, 2022 14:01:51 GMT -6

Zack Fradella: Not sure, the LRC is something that takes a lot of work to follow and keep up with. It's not as easy as looking at the parameters and making a forecast. This deters many from even giving it a chance. Also, there is some doubt from the weather world. Nov 4, 2022 3:38:49 GMT -6

stormydds: Zack, a friend had a meeting in Lafayette which Rob Perillo spoke.He asked him why the LRC is not used to forecast hurricanes by NOAA.His answer was that Lezak won't share the info.I saw the podcast you and David made with Gary.He seemed open.What gives? Nov 3, 2022 14:39:19 GMT -6

SKYSUMMIT: Man I really hope that rain moves quickly on Saturday. I'm so pumped for 6 hours of awesome college football! Nov 3, 2022 7:15:01 GMT -6

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Been unblocked. Dylan says that the station took major damage, so no idea when they'll even be able to stream again, or be on the air. Hopefully, they will at least let their employees deal with their own property issues! Oct 2, 2022 18:17:35 GMT -6

gullywasher: Seriously, must we deal with Bruce Katz at noon, 4, 5 AND 9. ? Sept 30, 2022 20:03:25 GMT -6

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: According to another met on twitter, the kitten was rescued by a producer who's adopting it. Of course that hasn't stopped the angry mob, with torches and pitchforks, who are insisting that it's a lie. Sept 29, 2022 17:48:05 GMT -6

nolachic: Pink - he's probably blocking people he doesn't personally know to keep his cell charged and to get his head straight, and I'm sure he is beyond exhausted. Sept 29, 2022 9:23:35 GMT -6

SKYSUMMIT: I sent him a message yesterday as well, but he hasn't seen it. Sept 29, 2022 5:46:06 GMT -6

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Oh hell, I meant for that to be a message! Sept 28, 2022 19:38:19 GMT -6

PinkFreud - Nola FQ: Dylan is taking a beating on Twitter. I just tried to send him a message of support, since we've been following each other for years, and HE BLOCKED ME!!!!!! Somebody who can get to him needs to do so, pronto!!! I'm very worried about him. Sept 28, 2022 19:37:27 GMT -6
