I would say my pleasure.
It's unfortunately not the most pleasurable stuff to talk about, but I am glad to be able to talk about it because it's so important.
So the main thing that has happened is that the trends that we talked about last time, they've really just continued to unfold.
So for instance, we've seen more severe destructive weather since we talked in May 2023.
However, in the past, we mostly talked about those billion-dollar disasters like hurricanes and massive wildfires.
But now the focus is on localized weather events like tornadoes and severe thunderstorms.
And these have become more costly.
And hail is a huge part of that.
Extreme hailstorms in particular are becoming more common, and the costs associated with hail damage are becoming bigger along with the frequency.
And then the Great Plains in particular are at high risk of these hailstorms.
So we're actually starting to see home insurance become really expensive in places like Nebraska and Oklahoma as a result of this.
So it's a really stark reminder that climate change is gonna likely be felt in ways that we are not expecting and that we're probably all gonna feel it no matter where we live.
Yep, it has definitely become more expensive for more of us.
So a 2025 analysis by the Consumer Federation of America
found that between 2021 and 2024, home insurance costs increased by 24% across the country.
It was even higher in places like Utah, Illinois, and Arizona.
The report also found that 95% of zip codes saw increases.
So the impact isn't localized like it used to be.
We're all feeling it.
They kind of are.
