The nightmare scenario is a majord storm that sweeps across a region pocked with foreclosedrreal estate, leaving the neglected property in ruins, emptuy of responsible homeowners. Nobody knows how big the problemnmight be, but with hundreds of thousands of emptgy properties in the state, it could be huge. Bankzs holding foreclosed real estate and defaulted loans said they have plans in placwe to move in with boards and tarpsw to cover broken windows andshredded roofs. But real estatse experts said nobody has ever gone through a storm with so much emptyu property hanging inthe balance.

Large areas are stilo only thinly rebuilt. Florida’s real estate markey differs fromNew Orleans, but its large number of empty dwellinga and the rising tide of foreclosures poses a uniquee risk.
