When some Florida home insurers make the case for higher premiums, they give one key reason: Homeowners are claiming sinkhole damage at unprecedented rates, and many of those claims are frivolous. Insurance adjusters not the blame for sinkhole claims Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35626522 November 28, 2010|By David Beasely [link to articles.sun-sentinel.com] There has been a lot of talk of late about sinkholes and their impact on Florida's property insurance industry. There is no question that sinkhole claims have risen in recent years, and this has an impact on property insurers who must pay for the damage sinkholes cause. It's unfortunate, however, that some are blaming public insurance adjusters — licensed professionals who serve as consumer advocates in the filing and adjustment of claims — for this increase. As president of the Florida Association of Public Insurance Adjusters, I was glad to see that a review of sinkhole activity released Nov. 8 by the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation makes no such claim. Indeed, the report that was based on information provided to OIR by Florida's property insurers makes very little mention of public insurance adjusters at all. There are many factors that could influence the growing number of claims: heavy residential development in the last five years in sinkhole-prone areas, periods of extended drought and excessive rains that often lead to sinkhole formation, and yes, an increased focus on sinkhole claims among some homeowners and public insurance adjusters. 2011 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 35626522 Citizens insurance approves 50 percent sinkhole rate hike cap Citizens Property Insurance board members on Monday approved capping its proposed 429 percent rate hike for the sinkhole portion of its rates by 50 percent in the first year. The 4 to 0 vote happened the day before regulators have scheduled a hearing to grill state-backed Citizens on its request to raise overall statewide average rates by 25 percent. Citizens is the largest home insurer in the state with more than 1.4 million policies. The sinkhole portion makes up a fraction of multi-peril policies, bumping up the overall rate hike needed for those policies to 27 percent.

It was a car accident. Nothing particularly remarkable, but fatal nonetheless. You left behind a wife and two children. It was a painless death. The EMTs tried their best to save you, but to no avail. Your body was so utterly shattered you were better off, trust me. And that’s when you met me. “What… what happened?” You asked. “Where am I?” “You died,” I said, matter-of-factly. No point in mincing words. “There was a… a truck and it was skidding…” “Yup,” I said. “I… I died?” “Yup. But don’t feel bad about it. Everyone dies,” I said. You looked around. There was nothingness. Just you and me. “What is this place?” You asked. “Is this the afterlife?” “More or less,” I said. “Are you god?” You asked. “Yup,” I replied. “I’m God.” “My kids… my wife,” you said. “What about them?” “Will they be all right?” “That’s what I like to see,” I said. “You just died and your main concern is for your family. That’s good stuff right there.” You looked at me with fascination. To you, I didn’t look like God. I just looked like some man. Or possibly a woman. Some vague authority figure, maybe. More of a grammar school teacher than the almighty. “Don’t worry,” I said. “They’ll be fine. Your kids will remember you as perfect in every way. They didn’t have time to grow contempt for you. Your wife will cry on the outside, but will be secretly relieved. To be fair, your marriage was falling apart. If it’s any consolation, she’ll feel very guilty for feeling relieved.” “Oh,” you said. “So what happens now? Do I go to heaven or hell or something?” “Neither,” I said. “You’ll be reincarnated.” “Ah,” you said. “So the Hindus were right,” “All religions are right in their own way,” I said. “Walk with me.” You followed along as we strode through the void. “Where are we going?” “Nowhere in particular,” I said. “It’s just nice to walk while we talk.” “So what’s the point, then?” You asked. “When I get reborn, I’ll just be a blank slate, right? A baby. So all my experiences and everything I did in this life won’t matter.” “Not so!” I said. “You have within you all the knowledge and experiences of all your past lives. You just don’t remember them right now.” I stopped walking and took you by the shoulders. “Your soul is more magnificent, beautiful, and gigantic than you can possibly imagine. A human mind can only contain a tiny fraction of what you are. It’s like sticking your finger in a glass of water to see if it’s hot or cold. You put a tiny part of yourself into the vessel, and when you bring it back out, you’ve gained all the experiences it had. “You’ve been in a human for the last 48 years, so you haven’t stretched out yet and felt the rest of your immense consciousness. If we hung out here for long enough, you’d start remembering everything. But there’s no point to doing that between each life.” “How many times have I been reincarnated, then?” “Oh lots. Lots and lots. An in to lots of different lives.” I said. “This time around, you’ll be a Chinese peasant girl in 540 AD.” “Wait, what?” You stammered. “You’re sending me back in time?” “Well, I guess technically. Time, as you know it, only exists in your universe. Things are different where I come from.” “Where you come from?” You said. “Oh sure,” I explained “I come from somewhere. Somewhere else. And there are others like me. I know you’ll want to know what it’s like there, but honestly you wouldn’t understand.” “Oh,” you said, a little let down. “But wait. If I get reincarnated to other places in time, I could have interacted with myself at some point.” “Sure. Happens all the time. And with both lives only aware of their own lifespan you don’t even know it’s happening.” “So what’s the point of it all?” “Seriously?” I asked. “Seriously? You’re asking me for the meaning of life? Isn’t that a little stereotypical?” “Well it’s a reasonable question,” you persisted. I looked you in the eye. “The meaning of life, the reason I made this whole universe, is for you to mature.” “You mean mankind? You want us to mature?” “No, just you. I made this whole universe for you. With each new life you grow and mature and become a larger and greater intellect.” “Just me? What about everyone else?” “There is no one else,” I said. “In this universe, there’s just you and me.” You stared blankly at me. “But all the people on earth…” “All you. Different incarnations of you.” “Wait. I’m everyone!?” “Now you’re getting it,” I said, with a congratulatory slap on the back. “I’m every human being who ever lived?” “Or who will ever live, yes.” “I’m Abraham Lincoln?” “And you’re John Wilkes Booth, too,” I added. “I’m Hitler?” You said, appalled. “And you’re the millions he killed.” “I’m Jesus?” “And you’re everyone who followed him.” You fell silent. “Every time you victimized someone,” I said, “you were victimizing yourself. Every act of kindness you’ve done, you’ve done to yourself. Every happy and sad moment ever experienced by any human was, or will be, experienced by you.” You thought for a long time. “Why?” You asked me. “Why do all this?” “Because someday, you will become like me. Because that’s what you are. You’re one of my kind. You’re my child.” “Whoa,” you said, incredulous. “You mean I’m a god?” “No. Not yet. You’re a fetus. You’re still growing. Once you’ve lived every human life throughout all time, you will have grown enough to be born.” “So the whole universe,” you said, “it’s just…” “An egg.” I answered. “Now it’s time for you to move on to your next life.” And I sent you on your way. “If we are peaceful, if we are happy, we can smile and blossom like a flower, and everyone in our family, our entire society, will benefit from our peace.” Thich Nhat Hanh, Being Peace "But ask the animals, and they will teach you, or the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or speak to the earth, and it will teach you, or let the fish in the sea inform you." - Job 12:7,8 "When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro." - Hunter S.

Quoting: KoFFee_ I remember seeing this movie when I was youngster. Anytime anyone mentions tunnels, explosions and sinkholes, I am reminded of this movie. It actually terrified me and gave me nightmares. I had dreams of mole people who lived underground in tunnels. They would kidnap people and bring them below ground to do experiments on them. These strange creatures would put you on a table and stick a long needle into your neck so they could abstract information from you. It was pretty creepy then. I watch this movie now and it is so laughable, but if you start it around the 58 minute mark, you will see the tunnels, the explosions, the odd looking alien head in the glass bubble. In the first ten minutes of the movie, you will see the what looks like a "sinkhole" in the sand. I'm surprised that Mystery Science Theatre didn't add it to their collection of movies that they make fun of. Invaders from Mars - 1953 [link to www.youtube.com] Wow....That video seems almost prophetic... portrays the whole underground alien and abduction thing perfectly.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31036137 United States 03/09/2013 07:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Over use of electricity. Pumping charges from the Ionosphere into our power circuits, they eventually get dumped into the Earth. The generator doesn't push the electricity like people believe. The Earth pulls it towards the molten iron core. The generator just collects ambient charges between the two polarities (Ionosphere + Ground). When our homes dump the electricity, the charges find their way to water, gas and sewage piping. The under ground piping usually connects to a mineral deposit that is conductive. These conductive deposits can run REALLY deep and become a natural wire to the center of the Earth. Entire neighborhoods can ground out into one mineral vein in the Earth. This is why the effect isn't broad across the land but concentrated. Under ground mineral deposits can span for great distances, especially if it is spread like sod across large geographical areas. The grounding vein can be dozens of miles from the civilized source of power. All that matters is the electrical charges find there way to the center of the Earth. The mineral deposits become charged and the pull on the charge from the Iron Core increases as there is more electricity to flow. Many of these veins are at their equilibrium and increased flow will cause the minerals to penetrate it's equilibrium. Causing mineral and water to sink. |
