Florida’s Troubled Home Insurance Market To Face Major Test
The storm downed trees and power lines and killed four people, two in Escambia County, Florida, and two in Alabama.It was the first Atlantic hurricane of the season and the first to strike the continental U.S. since Milton battered Florida in 2024. That storm, which made landfall as a Category 3 hurricane, caused an estimated $34.3 billion in damage in the U.S. But it estimated insured losses at a lower $17 billion to $28 billion.That meant that many homeowners in Florida found themselves having to cover the cost of rebuilding their properties on their own.
