Hurricane Insurance When Traveling. Do Not Travel Without It!

As of Monday afternoon Tropical Storm Isaac is intensifying and is expected to make landfall late Tuesday or early Wednesday on the northern Gulf Coast as a hurricane, forecasters said on Monday.

The storm--with sustained winds of 65 mph--is moving northwest at 14 mph. According to the National Weather Service, New Orleans is in the projected path of the storm. Wednesday marks the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, which devastated New Orleans and the Gulf Coast in late August 2005.

Hurricane warnings have been issued along the northern Gulf Coast from Morgan City, La., to Destin, Florida. According to the National Hurricane Center, a storm surge between six and 12 feet could threaten the northern Gulf Coast if the storm makes landfall during high tide.

I know many of our rentors and owners are in the path and have already dealth with the storm. Anyone who has properties in these areas have probably dealt with question from rentors and potential rentors alike.
