Tornadoes are terrifying natural disasters. It’s hard to imagine a more essential reason to have insurance.
Not getting the money you need to rebuild is a second disaster. Finding out your claim has been denied, or that it will take months to get your payments while you’re attempting to restore your life — few experiences are more frustrating and distressing for people trying to recover from and rebuild after a storm disrupts their lives.
Between 2010 and 2020, the average tornado caused $2.5 million in property damage.
In 2022, tornadoes caused $684 million in property and crop damage across the U.S.
A tornado can batter your home with debris, pull the roof off your house, or even raze your home to its very foundation, easily resulting in tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage for a single homeowner.
