FORCE MAJUERE ~ WTF

WTF ~ Welcome To Florida !

And just like that a tropical depression turned to tropical storm now has been a named storm, Ian. This effects real estate and personal property in many ways! Here’s an excerpt from the Residential contract for sale and purchase with that fancy French phrase “force majeure”, meaning greater force. Key words being performance, event, deemed to have begun on the first day of the effect which prevents performance or non-performance, reasonable time for extension and the extension beyond the closing date. This clause has been revised through the years, and does detail the event that affects. If it didn’t, we have hurricane season from May 1 to December 1, hence we would never get real estate done!

GEICO, who carries our boat policy always sends these notices to remind us how to be proactive in the protection of our property as well how to file a claim. For those boatowners out there, read your policy!! It may include, a clause that reduces the payout if the boat is not removed from your lift and off your property in the event of a named storm.

Coastal, Subtropical and Tropical areas can experience violent weather events, devastating and scary. However, most of the year is picture perfect weather, coastal breezes and afternoon cooling rain. I call these undesirable weather events, an annoyance to living in paradise, the price of paradise. It is not if a hurricane hits, it is when.
