Hurricane Helene poses not only a direct threat to residents but also jeopardizes Florida's fragile insurance market, which could have far-reaching repercussions on the national economy.
Research indicates that Florida's property insurers are in a vulnerable position, with many looking stable on paper but facing potential insolvency amid a major storm's insurance claims.
If a catastrophic event like Hurricane Helene occurs, the resultant surge in claims could expose the financial weaknesses of small insurers, leading to widespread mortgage defaults among homeowners.
The ramifications of insured homeowners defaulting on their mortgages due to lack of claim payouts could extend beyond Florida, impacting federal backing institutions like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
