Amazing!

During a thunderstorm today, a house in one of the most prestigious areas in central Florida was struck by lightening. The multi-million dollar house was 900,000 square feet. It belongs to some type of developer and his wife. They are away on vacation. The house is a total loss.

The firemen had trouble breaking through the hurricane proof windows to get water on the fire.

I'd find this very sad except that the homeowners have no insurance on the house. I guess I could understand this if the house was under construction, but it wasn't.

That was some kind of storm. I loved watching it, sleep, watching it, sleep. I cannot imagine not having any homeowners insurance on a house like that.

No insurance, were they crazy?

No insurance, were they crazy?

That would be my guess!

Please tell me you meant 90,000 sq ft... even then. My feet hurt thinking about cleaning that place!

900,000 sq. feet???? That's not a house, that's an auditorium!

Wow! My parents house got hit by lightning several years ago and they just lost everything that was electrical. The house was fine. Of course they had insurance that paid for everything. I can't believe they didn't have insurance.

Central Florida is the lightning strike capital of the Western Hemisphere (that was part of our spiel when I was a CM teaching seminars). That is incredibly irresponsible for them not to have insurance!

Actually, they probably couldn't afford the Insurance on that House!

It was 9,000 sq ft I just found the article. Man I can't imagine not having house insurance! Terrible waste of millions of dollars!

Holy Smokes (no pun intended)! Imagine getting that phone call when you're on vaca!?! "Hello, Mr. X, your house was struck by lightening, burned down and it's a total loss. Btw, you have no homeowners insurance on the thing!" Yikes!!!!! That'd put a huge damper on any vaca.!!!

Sorry about that! My fingers sometimes get ahead of my brain! That would be one big house!!!

How can you not protect that kind of investment with insurance??? Heck, we're poor church mice and we protect anything we got! =)
