The utter devastation caused by the latest round of hurricanes will likely be counted in the 10s of billions dollars. Are natural events such as global warming and hurricanes going to change the way we invest:-

A lot of celebrity real estate investors will be counting their losses after the hurricane season is over! We all need to start taking more notice of climate change and the destructive power of nature.

Richard Branson and many other celebs who have suffered will be able to rebuild, what about those who cant afford to rebuild their homes?

I wonder if things like Necker Island can be insured? Or will it fall on Richard Branson to rebuild it himself?
