Story

An above-average number of hurricanes in the Atlantic could make it hard for Florida's insurance market to stay stable. This market is already struggling and needs a solution. The hurricane season starts on June 1, and Florida has a tax holiday until June 14. During this time, people can buy certain supplies without paying taxes. The tax holiday is meant to help residents prepare for and recover from hurricanes by stocking up on essentials.
