After retiring from the Chicago PD, I came down to Florida for my second career with an agency here. We came off the streets at 60MPH (I think that is a state standard, but not sure). I cannot imagine being a linesman at those speeds. I hope people did not take you for granted and did thank you for the work you did!
Yup. We are in the cone and on the right side so either way (direct or near hit) we will have impacts. I have USAA/Progressive and read the policy last night as there was internet chatter stating owners of RVs had to move them out of the path of storm (reasonable efforts) for a claim to be considered valid. With my policy that is not the case, though it may be with others.
That is not an "in my opinion" position, it is fact. ALL media (social, news, print, digital, broadcast) are nothing more than marketing companies. They all advance agendas that produce the greatest likelihood that they draw the largest (or captive and targeted) audience/viewership/readership they can to be able to demand the highest prices for 30 seconds of airtime or ad placement; nothing more (well, digital monetizes your personal information). It actually takes some effort today to get the whole story, if we are even able to achieve that end. I am not saying that you cannot trust any media but you'll unlikely be able to get the whole picture from any single source.
