Man Insists Storm Surge "Wasn't That Bad" While Filing Claim for Fifth Destroyed Jet Ski

Vice Beach resident Micky Trelawney, 49, submitted his fifth consecutive annual insurance claim for a destroyed jet ski Thursday, again citing storm surge while reiterating to adjusters that the conditions were "totally manageable" and that he'd "handled way worse." Trelawney, who has lived in the same beachfront property through four direct hurricane hits and one tropical storm, confirmed he has already ordered a replacement ski and "a better rope this time." His insurer, Leonida Mutual Coverage Group, did not return requests for comment, though a source inside the company confirmed agents now recognise his voice and put him on hold before he finishes saying his name.
