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.

Depends on policy and rental company


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.

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

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

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.

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
