I read in this article:

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/news/weather/hc-hurricane-oil-spill-insurance-053120100601,0,650613.story?page=1

that the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico might do damage on homes durning hurricane season. The article writer isn't sure if home insurance companies will cover the damages the oil may do. BP says it will pay for the damages.

What I want to know is what do you home insuarance agents think. Will home insurance companies cover the damges caused by the oil? Will BP do what it promises and pay for the damges?

Well those are my question, thanks.

I am a an agent in the Gulf region and was told that insurance most likely not pay but we are in a wait and see pattern at this point.
