Florence will be forced to the west, passing over an environment that is extremely favorable for intensification and on a collision course with the East Coast. But that represents only half of the problem." [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] [link to www.washingtonpost.com (secure)] |

| TheYzman User ID: 72906208 United States09/12/2018 10:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Be safe, I made a career change recently and got my all-lines adjusters license, my Carolina's licenses should be issued within the week. I been keeping up with the groups on fb...I've read some wild stories from hurricanes past, and seen some wild pics. Quoting: Jeremiah 29:11 I will most likely request my first deployment more inland than coastal, and leave that to the more experienced. Hopefully by next season I will be able to do my job with the confidence it will take for Cat recovery. Welcome to Cat Adjusting. I have been a Cat Adjuster for 13 years now. It's a family thing. Dad retired from it. Unc or retired from it. Brother and sister in law do it and on and on. Anyway, key is to hook up with a seasoned adjuster to help you out. Adjusters are good peoples all. Never met one that is not willing to help if you just ask. Use the help rooms if available. www.catadjuster.org is a great resource. It's a peer to peer community. I no longer work in the field. I am a file examiner and do mostly large loss claims reviews and settlement, but, I have seen first hand many times what's about to happen to the Carolina coast. Their will be plenty of people to help you. Get with your field supervisor and get names and numbers of seasoned adjusters working the same account. All companies want claims processed a little differently. Most of all, good luck and be safe. You can do it. Make that money. |
