Seems in our area right now, there are a lot of insurance claims. I don’t understand this act of nature or they use to call it “an act of God.” I’m sure God is sitting up there saying “drop that tree there and drive that car through that house and let the wind blow that tree on your neighbor’s house.” If your tree falls on your neighbor’s house your insurance doesn’t have to pay and they won’t pay you to have the tree cut off the house, because its an “act of nature!” What about all those people that live close to big rivers, can’t get flood insurance. The insurance companies don’t mind taking your premiums, but you better read the fine print! I’m not sure what is covered? Back to the act of nature, if you are driving down the road and hit a patch of ice, loose control and wreck, you’re going to get a ticket for “driving to fast for conditions.” No matter how slow you were going. There almost needs to be a sign that tells you what speed to go for different conditions. 10 mph if there’s 10 inches of snow? If you have that wreck and get that ticket, guess what? Your insurance rates probably will go up. But isn’t that an “act of nature?” This has nothing to do with track or cross country, but hey its my site! Good luck and watch out for nature, if you’re in the woods and a bear eats you! Its an “act of nature!” I’m not sure your life insurance will pay off!
