This is the Fox News Run Down Extra.

I'm Dave Anthony.

Today, something we all need no matter where we live.

Insurance.

With the hurricane and flood disasters the last couple of weeks from Florida to North Carolina,

we thought it would be a good idea to focus on the homeowners coverage most of us have and the insurance many

of us don't for flooding. Now the other day before Milton hit Florida we talked to

Mark Friedlander with the Insurance Information Institute.

And since we had the trim the conversation to fit it into the rundown, we posted on Tuesday,

we thought it would be good to let you hear all of it in this weekend extra. I know I learned

some things in the insurance, I'm guessing you will as well. I hope so. And I hope you

come back for more. There is something new every day here on the rundown.

Thank you as always for listening.

And now Mark Friedlander on the Fox News rundown extra. Run Down Extra.

Joining us on the Fox News rundown is Mark Friedlander. He is the director of corporate communications at the very busy these days insurance information

institute as a lot of people in the southeast clean up and deal with claims from

Helene and the damage that that hurricane did even as far into the mountains of North Carolina.

But also we have Hurricane Milton, a major hurricane bearing down on Florida's west coast so there's a lot of people

concern dealing with their property on this first of all Mark thanks very much

for being with us thanks so much for me. I mean this has been and will be a very busy time for your

industry. We expected this hurricane season to be well above average. It started off kind of slow, but it has exploded in the last few weeks. We have had five hurricanes form in just the past few weeks. It is an amazing period for

tropical activity and it shows why being financially protected from these storms is so important.
