But If You Don’t Mind Tornadoes…

Despite the tornadoes, ice storms, and occasional floods Edmond Oklahoma was listed as one of the best cities in the country to live and do business. I’ve provided a link to the full article under Lifestyle.

When I left my life as a corporate executive I knew if I found another job with similar pay and benefits it would mean moving and starting all over again. There are not a lot of insurance companies in the greater Oklahoma City area. Or I could stay put and figure out a way to make a living.

With the remote underwriting trend my decision was almost a no-brainer. Talent is scarce and the companies that have employed the technology to push their underwriting files out to be evaluated now have the distinct advantage. But the ultimate advantages go to the underwriter.

It’s all about lifestyle.

F1 Damage

In the early morning hours of March 30, some severe weather blew through the city I live and work in.  The tornado missed our house by about three miles. We managed to sleep through the sirens and didn’t realize there were tornadoes on the ground until our son called at 3:00 AM to find out if we were OK.

Risk is everywhere. Time to buy a weather alert radio.

This is what an F1 can do to your house.
