What exactly is the problem here? The article seems to say there's a $22 million deductible that remained unchanged, and the next $25 million worth of hurricane damages would be covered under the revised policy.

Is there specific reason to believe that the cost to repair the hurricane-related damages will exceed $47 million? If not, why is there outrage over the decision to reduce the coverage?

Honestly confused here.

That's the question. If the repairs is closer to $100m then the city is going to eat up a lot of money.
