Storm exposure
A storm has a history. Your home needs its own evidence.
After a storm, a map or a knock at the door can make repairs feel urgent. Separate the weather report from the property findings.
How it works
The National Weather Service notes that large hail and strong thunderstorm winds can damage property. That establishes a hazard; it does not establish what happened at your address.
A more useful comparison
Weather near the homeA storm record describes an event and its reported location.
Condition of the homeA property assessment documents actual findings. The two records answer different questions.
Put the decision back in your hands.
Ask for dated photographs and an explanation of the findings. Keep insurance decisions tied to your actual policy and the insurer’s review.
One useful next step
Keep weather dates, inspection notes and repair records together. Stay off the roof and let a qualified professional assess it.
