New policies are ruled out for a few days also.
Tropical Depression 9 may be making homeowners with insurance issues less than happy.
The state’s insurer of last resort won’t change policies for its roughly 771,000 customers or initiate new ones for a few days.
Citizens Property Insurance announced that as of 11 a.m. Saturday, “no new policies or policy changes can be written statewide.”
“Citizens cannot accept new policies or policy changes for additional coverage when a tropical storm or hurricane watch or warning has been issued by the National Hurricane Center for any part of Florida,” Citizens says.
The low pressure system, which is likely to become Tropical Storm Imelda, is dumping rain on eastern Cuba and the Bahamas before it is expected to head toward Florida.
Landfall is not likely, but the east coast can expect rain and wind, with impacts increasing the farther west the storm ultimately jogs.
