From the reference
A severe storm can leave your home vulnerable to water damage, structural problems, and rising repair costs. Knowing exactly what to do in the hours and days after a storm — document damage, contact your insurer, and find a trustworthy contractor — can save you thousands and protect your home. This guide walks you through every step.
Storm damage includes any harm caused by wind, hail, rain, snow, ice, lightning, or falling objects like tree limbs. Even storms that seem minor can loosen shingles, crack flashing, or clog gutters in ways that lead to significant water intrusion over time.
