Biography
I've spent two decades covering crime, business, courts and sports for the Tampa Bay Times. Now I'm an assistant metro editor at Florida's best newspaper. I was raised in the Tampa Bay area and graduated from the University of South Florida in Tampa. Some of the highlights of my career at the Times: I've covered Pasco County courts, St. Petersburg cops and the Tampa business scene. Along the way I've also covered NASA, the NFL, the NBA, college football, hurricanes, forest fires, space shuttle launches, criminal trials and lots of high school football. In June 2015, I became an assistant metro editor in the Tampa newsroom. Did you know: I filed the last byline in the history of the St. Petersburg Times, which changed its name to the Tampa Bay Times on Jan. 1, 2012.

By Jamal Thalji Verified| Tampa Bay Times Verified There are two important steps you should take to protect your property before a storm makes landfall. First, call your insurance agent and review your coverage. Make sure your policies cover recent improvements and any increase in value in this real estate market. You’ll also need a separate flood policy because home policies don’t cover that or storm-related water damage. Second, fix what needs to be fixed. Hurricanes will exploit any damage, especially the roof.
