They just issued a mandatory evacuation for Ocracoke visitors

Ocrakoke won't even exist in a few years as climate change will relentlessly flood all of America's coastlines. Good thing we've got a congress and president too ignorant and or greedy for personal gain to care

We are scheduled to go to Avon this weekend. No mandatory evacuation there so trip insurance doesn't cover. Not sure what we will do.

If my original post was weather related I would agree with you but this was caused by a construction company cutting the main underwater power line at Bonner Bridge.

There may be by then. Check outerbanks voice and listen to beach 104 online.

Trip insurance appears to only cover evacuations related to natural disaster.

Depends on policy and rental company

If houses have no a/c do you have to pay?

Depends on what your rental agreemnet is or your insurance policy is.

I know rental companies are trying to place people in vacant homes elsewhere.

There is a law in NC that requires rentals to have air conditioning. No power, no AC. This is awful. They have waited so long for this bridge. If the Mid-Currituck bridge goes through, I hope this is taken into consideration for Corolla.

They actually moved the line so this wouldn't happen.

I was the pp who is going this weekend. We rented through Outer Beaches and the trip insurance through them only covers evacuations due to natural disasters.

Have you reached out to them? You may want to try now. I believe most rental companies have their emergency teams in office trying to sort everyone out.

My trip insurance covers if the rental is uninhabitable, and list a bunch of explanations for what that means.

Read the fine print of your policy, because you may be covered.
