The PropertyCasualty360.com staff (of which Claims is part) is accustomed to hearing and writing about catastrophes. However, it is rare for so many of us to be smack in the middle of a severe weather event ourselves. Those working out of Summit Business Media's Hoboken, N.J. office, for example, simply do not witness the types of extreme weather with which many of our constituents to the south, west, and even north regularly contend.

So when “Superstorm” Sandy struck, it was jolting for us. Scarier still is the thought that other areas of the country are almost annually under threat from hurricanes with far higher wind speeds.
