    As a homeowner what weighs me down most is insurance, by a large margin. It keeps increasing while the coverage decreases. It’s a huge racket in my opinion

        Oklahoma 🙃rates go up each year due to tornados, at least that’s what they say. Even though i live in a heavily populated area that’ll never get hit.

        I had to put a new roof on cause of softball sized hail caused by the infamous may 2013 storm that damn near leveled Moore Oklahoma. But other than that, no storm damage ever

          Have you shopped other companies for rates? I switched earlier this year and cut my insurance costs by more than half! Was fucking ridiculous how it just kept climbing.

            In Arkansas we got a tornado in town. It was a huge wakeup call since people always think it won’t hit where they are.

            There are multiple businesses that I personally used that got wiped out by the tornado.

              Yeah I feel like Joplin proved that all wrong too.

              Was the idea that tall buildings might break up wind shear that would feed the tornado?
