where fist sized hail happens every year my Mom had a metal roof which has lasted well for 25 years. But my house was built in 1988 and is frame instead of concrete block. I specifically looked in this area because it is the highest in the county, and neither Irma nor Ian caused flooding here. I can't see how the current high real estate prices will be maintained if people can't get insurance.
