[PUP] Being prepared (for everything ?)

[Ron Rogers]

And, there are some areas that go through bad periods. For two Summers in a 
row, Annapolis, MD went through an extraordinary number of lightning strikes 
according to my insurance company at the time. They tried to console me by 
saying that they had been experiencing their highest lightning damage claims 
in years.

So statistical data for different regions is important. I wonder if 
insurance companies would be willing to share their data - not.
