Galveston Yacht Basin on fire....
http://www.khou.com/video/?nvid=1788...e=yes&noad=yes
A transformer exploded at Galveston Yacht Basin and caught the covered dockage on fire. It has collapsed and the fire dept can't get to the fire in the 50+ knot winds, gusting over 75. The fire goes on expanding with a few fuel explosions fanned by the high winds. |

I don't feel the least bit sorry for boats that burn up. I'm sure most of the people who left boats there did so saying something like, "Oh well, that's what I pay insurance for." Good luck them trying to recoup full value from insurance companies. Wilbur Hubbard Wilbur Hubbard |

Gordon By the way, many insurance companies have an escape clause in their policies, if it is earthquake or some other natural disaster they are of the hook. I suspect that they cann count this as one. - Lauri Tarkkonen |

Gordon No, I'm sure he sleeps quite well. The aide brings him his glass of juice and the pills in a little paper cup on the tray and then watches to be sure he swallows them. After he gets into bed the aide turns the lights down low. The doors to the ward are locked, there is the soft hum of the ventilation, and he drifts off into peaceful dreaming about the wide sunlit expanse of sea that he never knew. -- Roger Long |

Those people are supposed to do what? Take the boat to sea and head for Panama? I don't feel the least bit sorry for boats that burn up. I'm sure most of the people who left boats there did so saying something like, "Oh well, that's what I pay insurance for." Good luck them trying to recoup full value from insurance companies. What excuse will the insurer use, and what makes you think they can get away with it? The biggest risk is probably bankrupcy on the part of the insurance company. Casady |
