Hurricane Irma going to hit my State, updating my insurance.

[Jia Liu]

Hi everyone! I lived in my property for two years in South Carolina. I moved out and turned it into a rental on March 2017. This whole time I had it covered under my original homeowners insurance. Hearing that Hurricane Irma is going to hit South Carolina, I immediately called my insurance broker. She helped me cancel my original homeowners insurance and set me up with a different company for Dwelling and Fire insurance (landlord insurance?) The effective date on the new insurance is 9/7/2017. Let's say the Hurricane hits on 9/11/2017. Will I be OK in terms of coverage? I am asking because I have heard that it can take anywhere from 15 days to 45 days for a new insurance to be active. Thanks!
