Many countries around the world have experienced violent storms that have destroyed homes, devastated communities, and had long-term effects on their lives and their properties. Sadly, damaging storms are becoming more common, and it's critical to know what to do if your home has been damaged by one.

Storm Types and Expected Damages

Thunderstorms

All thunderstorms are dangerous and can cause a variety of problems. Thunderstorms can inflict damage owing to high winds, flash flooding from rain, and lightning strikes. As the weather worsens, it's critical to keep a close eye on it and take necessary safety precautions, as storms can cause damage to properties and injury or death, both indirectly and directly.

Hailstorms

Hailstorms are unavoidable, and no matter the speed and size, they can cause significant damage to homes. Hail damage is one of the most common causes of homeowner claims each year.

Hail can dent aluminum siding, shingles, and gutters, as well as crack vinyl siding, asphalt roofs, and wood shakes.

Lightning

One of the most dangerous weather conditions is lightning. Lightning may quickly start a fire in a home, apartment, or commercial building by burning wood, insulation, roofing, or siding. Electrical fires can also result from a rapid and intense surge of electricity, creating a dangerous condition for anybody inside or near the home.

Floods

The most prevalent natural calamity is flooding. It might develop slowly or rapidly, and it can strike without warning. Floods cause power outages, traffic disruptions, building damage, and landslides. 

When your home and business are damaged by a storm, it might feel as if your life has been turned completely upside down. You may be feeling overwhelmed by the storm's devastation, and deciding what to do first might be difficult.
