As I write this, I'm streaming a video showing the devastation that Typhoon Doksuri unleashed on China recently. Not only was the devastation brought on by torrential rain and winds that topped 135 MPH horrific, but the flooding that ensued on its heels washed away cars, houses, roads, and several bridges. Since I've weathered my share of hurricanes over the years in Florida, I'm grateful that I'm covered by insurance should a named storm unleash its fury on my home or business. This way I'll be able to quickly recover should the worst come to worst. However, weather gone wild made me think about those who choose to rent as opposed to owning their home. Sure, the landlord will get compensated for any storm damage that occurs, but as a renter you'd be out of luck if any of your possessions were damaged or destroyed by the wrath of Mother Nature. Since you can't bill the landlord for damage or loss of your property, here's why you really should consider looking into renter's insurance.
