Florida fallout - REI

How has hurricane Irma affected you investments? Has insurance covered the damages without the need for a public adjuster to get involved? or has it been tooth and nail trying to pull damages from the insurance companies?

I have a primary home in Orlando that I plan on turning into a rental soon. we had roof damage and water coming in through the windows and a spot on the roof. At first we got 2000 after deductible (5000) for a total of 7k. This was bs so my wife got involved, I feel bad for whomever was on the other line when she called lol. Long story short she had another adjuster come out who wasn't a contractor for the disaster and he helped document the roof, Windows, flooring, etc. we just processed a check for a little over 24k. We are one of the lucky ones. most people around me only got a portion of a total roof replacement.
