Prepare for a Storm of Overflow Claims
It's no surprise that weather events continue to increase in severity.?According to NOAA, 2021's most severe climate events totaled a whopping?$145 billion dollars in property damage,?and 2022 doesn't show signs of slowing down.
Wildfires are expected to wreak havoc this summer and into the fall, especially in the west.?Currently,?98% of California's territory is categorized as extreme drought.?This creates the perfect environment to start a fire.?Dry foliage then fuels the fire to spread quickly, making it more difficult for firefighters to contain it.
The east coast has a different but equally damaging threat.?NOAA predicts a severe tropical storm season with 6-10 hurricanes and?3-6 hurricanes of a category 3 or higher,?with minimum winds of 111mph.?
In addition, hail storms are becoming more destructive.?Scientists have proposed a new category,?Gargantuan Hail,?for hailstones larger than 6 inches, like those that fell in Hondo, Texas in April of 2021.?Researchers are also seeing trends toward?longer hail seasons.
